My 2001.5 has about 45,000 miles on it. I bought it used, though it is Audi Certified. I'm dying to chip it, but can't afford any other mods to beef up other internals at this time.

I drive hard, though probably not has hard as many people here. Is this a "safe" upgrade, or am I begging for trouble?

TIA!

throttle body boot, bypass valves, hoses.

Yep.

Those were the "internals" I meant (me=nOOB), but would you run without them with the chip?

PSmalls::DoggieStyle

You can always upgrade them when they fail. They are relatively cheap compared to the rest of the Audi aftermarket parts.

Thanks. The chip isn't too taxing on the turbos? Definately cannot afford to replace those now!

PSmalls::DoggieStyle

All k03s aren't equal. Some people blow turbos on stock chip with less than 5k miles while others beat the crap out of their car (with a chip) for 10s of thousands of miles with no issues at all.

If you can't afford the consequences, don't chip

Alpine_S4ster

Uhhhhh....seems to me that I'm trying to understand the consequences, but thanks for the helpful remark.
