You mean $1500? Your call, if the car is not powerful enough for you, and you have the money do it.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your monthly payment on your s4? I am currently in the market to do a 36 month lease on a new b8.

I don't know about the B8 S4 but with the A4's there are dealers in Canada that will actually chip the car for you - without voiding warranty.

I am doing it. My dealer said that I could get the Stasis and I would not have to return it if I decide to turn the car in. Either way, I think I am planning on keeping it. My 42 month lease is around $600 a month

no i mean 1800, through apr and stasis both charge the same.. the software is 1500 but sending the actual ecu to apr or stasis they charge me an extra $175 plus 1 hour labor and taxes comes out to almost $2k
