I passed my 99 Passat 1.8T that was chipped with APR chip at 10K miles down to my son. So far 130K miles and still running strong. You seem to be confused.

My car was tuned around 50.000km and at 240.000km the turbo and the gearbox was damaged. If you say 240.000km is a nice km for a car to die then nothing more to argue. I am just giving example from my experience thats all. And as i said this can happen to your car if ONLY you tune up the chip nothing else.
