Any 02 owners using the GIAC tip chip. Feedback Please. Are you using the ecu chip also? I know the ecu will make the car faster but I'm curious about the tranny being quicker and smoother perhaps???

I did a search on the board and found some info.

I had the tip chip and it gave me a lot of headaches. Tons of falt codes and my airbag and ride control light would come on all the time. Final the car would not start so I had it removed and keep the ECU chip in. I think it runs better without the tip chip. Sop my advice os ave your $$ on the tip chip.

Any more opinions on the Tip Chip???

I've had the GIAC tip cip on a 2001 ar for about 6 weeks now and have not had any problems. I can't say that I've noticed a huge difference in shifting. I decided to get the tip chip as a complement to the ECU chip. I became convinced that the tip chip help the tranny handle the extra torque produced by the ECU chip but I have nothing to back that up. There is another guy on the board that has a 2001 with both GIAC chips and he recently had a strange tranny issue. I beleieve it was "Nebuchadnezzar."

He has a link to a FAQ with all kinds of stuff including a recoding of the Tip with a VAG tool.

My weird issue was a fluke... it's all good and nothings broke.

He's quite aware he needs to sort it out, just hasn't had time yet.

Have you been by the new shop ? Think CEC showroom crossed with Dinan workshop.
