ECU Upgrade

Post by TimG007 » Mon Apr 21, 2008 9:11 pm

I am looking at a chip upgrade for my S4. Total Audi Performance (TAP) in Florida do a stage 4 chip with an uprated wastegate spring + 3.2 BAR map boost sensor. This will give an increase of 110 BHP!!!

Is this safe? All the chips in the UK are between 20/50 bhp.

This is 110 bhp for $875 so about £437.50. That is alot of BHP for the money. I am in the states with work for a month in June and want to know if I should pack my ecu in my suitcase?

Any thoughts guys?

As much as I hate badmouthing other tuners, you'll be lucky if you get 30 HP out of TAP's chips. I didn't even know they still existed, I thought they'd gone out of business. regardless of that, I have retuned so many of their claimed +110 HP S4s and S6s in the US that didn't even have 20 more than standard...

I hear what your saying so what would your chip cost me and what power gains would I get?
What mods are available for the 100 S4 turbo, I don't want to go silly but I'd like a chip, induction kit (Which I can not find anywhere) and a stainless exhaust. I want to see if I can have a duplex made for it but the fuel tank might be in the way.
