To Chip Or Not To Chip?

aholloway17 · 02-08-2006, 06:53 AM

Recently picked up the 98 A6 and of course I want to boos the hp.

I've read some posts that suggest the chip will not provide much improvement on this engine. Does anyone here have a differeing opinion from experience?

Thanks

To get a new chip is a good way of adding hp to your car but you can also reprogram/tune your stock ECU and could get 100+ hp that won't hurt your engine because a friend of mine reprogramed his stock ECU in his 1.8 and gained over 100 hp that didn't hurt his engine.

How do you gay 100 hp from remapping your ecu?!?b/c thats a lot of hp.please explain.but a chip is the way to go,you will not gain much hp. but you'll deff, feel a difference in the vehicle's characteristics.you gain much better throttle repsonce,limiter is removed, and a bit better top end.
