ok, 5K miles. ready to chip after my service appointment - now does anyone know if it is going to be a pain to change the ECU on a 99.5 with the extra plastic covering toward the back of the engine? need help on this. is there some sort of FAQ for do-it-yourself ecu swapping on 99.5+ A4's??

oh.. just got my aluminum billet exhaust tips by larry today. they look awesome! My A4 likes it a lot. She told me so... really.. after she asked "does it make me look fat?"

Just omit disconnecting the battery, it is not required.
