Default Stage 2 chip advice

From reading your posts in AW my first mod was a GIACX chip. Now I looking at satge 2+ and would
like to get the Dahlback (256kw) chip along with
KW V1 coilovers and upgrades to the rear brakes.
Any advice on chip upgrades would be appreciated.

Default If I wanted your advice on exteriors I would have asked you for it.

I'll can make my car look any way I want.
That's a matter of personal tastes.
If I don't like the way your car looks you
won't here me bitch at you about it.
If you can't stand a car that looks different than yours that's your problem.
And to hell with your purist Audi elitism !
So lets stay on topic from now on and
have a Great Holiday !
Thanks to those that can give good advice on
topic.

Default Come on man those lights are rediculous...........

thats fast and the furious crap man.

But anyway, you are what we call stage 2+ with chip, dps and catback. Theres no reason to get another chip X should do the job for you. If you havent already upgrade to version 8 if you are having any problems with it. To help you with suspension I have KW2s they are pretty soft maybe a little stiffer than stock from what I can remember but I like them for the street.

Default Reprogram the ecu by your friendly GIAC dealer, not sure how much that is...........

shouldnt be much though. 20-30 bucks? But are you having problems with your chip? Are there hesitations of some sort, loss of power in mid rpms? If not why bother getting something?
