2002 A4 Tiptronic/Quattro with Powerchip ECU modification

So far I've had the chip for a couple of days. It's taken a couple of days to get a feel for where the added power is in the RPMs. It's very noticable at 4k + RPMS. I had a co-worker, who owns a 2004 3.0L Tip/Quattro test drive my car and he says there is a very noticable difference in "D" and "S" mode.

During regular city driving the difference isn't noticable at all. I believe this is because the torque increase isn't significant enough for my butt dyno to tell.

For those of you who are waiting to chip your normally aspirated car, I say do it. The top end power is enough for me to be happy. I plan on putting the car on the dyno sometime next year when the weather gets better.

Powerchip claims that their chip is 100% undetectable so we'll see in the coming months if this is true when the car goes in for it's next service appointment.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/276838.phtml">http://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/276838.phtml</a></li></ul>

More like a Tip Chip 3.0 battle. For the Wetterauer chip, it was mostly noticeable in 3rd gear as it approached 4k rpm (starting around 3600 rpm).

Fortunately, my service reps like my chip, so I don't have a need to hide. =)
