I recommend you get a chip from a tuner that is close by to you and you trust. This way over time you can easilly get upgrades, etc.

If you have a 1.8t than i suggest either GIAC or APR. GIAC comes with the most options, and if you are to upgrade your car, like switch in a K04 turbo for instance, GIAC would be able to rehip your car at a fair price to match the new specifications.

APR on the other hand does not have alot of options and does not have a K04 specific chip. But for a stock 1.8t, they put out more power than any other chip out there. and APR WILL work with a K04 perfectly fine (better than a stock chip still), but maybe not as well as GIAC.

an ECU, or your car's computer. short we just call it chip. and when someone says get a chip, they really mean upgrade from stock. to do that you may buy a completely new chip, or just simply have your current one reflashed (reprogrammed) which is more common. what this will do for you is give you power. ALOT of power if you have a 1.8t

Neuspeed is great but the Giac flash is the best to use if under warranty.

multiple programs for the B7 A4 and K03 B6 A4 including stock, valet, 91, 93, 100 octane that can all be switched using the cruise control stalk. It can be switched to stock mode and locked that way for dealership visits. It can also have a security lockout feature to keep theives from starting the car. cheers! Mike

by the way, my last boyfriend had an A4 that looked exactly like yours. With the stock rims and high suspension and all.

i spoke to one of the APR technicians (definately was not one of the normal phone people, knew way too much)

and i asked specifiacally what i need to do if i upgrade my turbo. He told me that PR did not make a chip specifically for the K04 turbo yet and they werent going to anytime soon. But he also stated that the k03 apr chip will work with a k04 upgrade. It will still be better than a stock chip by a good bit, but not as good as other chips tuend specifically to the k04 upgrade. though this was for the b5 platform (i just realized i'm in the b7 forums heheh i hope i didnt post anything stupid) i would imagine all goes the same for the B7's.
