sucks. i went to the APR website. then went to the dealers website in my area (Miami), and no info on the chips.

Also e-mailed about exhausts, & suspension. So far no responses...

have DSG as the torque gains go over the suggested limit.

MTM

Dunno about you guys, but i am still very stand-offish when a new chip comes out for a car (such as the new A3) that they seem to have had 0 time to evaluate before selling. (the chip, not the car)

i guess you could counter that with: No pain, no gain?

bunch more tuners offering solutions in the coming weeks. Currently running an APR chip in my 99 A4 and love it.

Other than getting some custom bent somewhere, say at spooledmotorsports.com, which just might cost an arm and a leg.

MTM is a German tuner which has to abide by and be certified by the TUV, the vehicle licensing authority for Germany. Every car and every part on a car must be certified by TUV, or else the manufacturer and the owner of the car are liable to fines. This includes roof rack bars and light bulbs...my Thule system came with a TUV certificate!

So, it should be no suprise that an ECU upgrade would be tested to the extremes.

Most if not all tuners will require you to sign a wavier if you have DSG as the torque gains go over the suggested limit.
