PG Performance does Revo, RPI does APR, and CG Motorsports does GIAC.

Well, put it in perspective - V6 power (with better gas mileage) for a fifth of the cost. If you're like 99.9% of those of us who have chipped, you'll be grinning from ear to ear and will wonder why the car didn't come that way from the factory ...

The dealer who I ordered the car from has a motorsports division affiliated with the dealer itself. They deal with GIAC. I may be getting my car chipped after break in by them and because they do it it will be under warranty still.

WTF ??? The dealer actually told you that chipping won't VOID the warranty even if the issue is deemed to be coused by the chip ? That's certainly not Audi Canada's position but if you can get it in writing from them you're one lucky SOB.

Well they said the following and I quote from an e-mail:

"I do however recommend putting some kilometers on your car and allowing it to break in as normal (5000-8000kms) Audi of course will not warranty GIAC software, but this is where Pfaff has picked up this responsibility and will stand behind our product, especially since you have purchased and will most likely be servicing your car at Pfaff. There is little to worry about though as this is still a relatively light modification and will not by any means null and void your complete warranty."

It isn't cheap but you have to pay to play.

If you want to contract mod cancer then I'd be happy to take you for a ride in my wagon and I have APR Stage 1+

Be warned that you might hate me for a long time afterwards.
