Whatever happend Undetectable APR chip???
I remember reading this somewhere saying that APR chip was undetectable to VAG. The only way to see it would be to open it up.
So in this case, the tech guy opened the ECU up? or just read the dealership number from the VAG, then asked the owner.. who told him it was chiped with APR?!?!?! since it did not match dealership num..!?!!?

The ECU is the cars onboard computer. It is responsible for just about everything that the car does.
The part that we are mostly interested in is getting more performance out of the car. Various companies, known as "Tuners" or "Chip Tuners" reprogram the computer, or the chip inside of the ECU and allow us to run a higher boost for the turbo. They also reprogram other things to compensate for the higher boost.
It transforms the car into a much faster machine!
