Re: New to this forum :D How should I mod my car?
I guess I would like to know the answer to this too. Since I am from Montreal... I could really use a good Canadian distributor to avoid duty costs.

best bang for your buck performace wise and it is worth the price. Really that is cheap for what your getting.
Your fuel efficiency will only be worse if you drive harder.

I know Audi needs to allow for different fuel grades but the stock car already adjusts detonation based on fuel grade, couldn't it switch ECU programs dynamically also?

Re: New to this forum :D How should I mod my car?
Just wondering why the car doesn't come out of the factory with ECU mapping that gives the higher power if there's no apparent downside? Why does the opportunity exist for aftermarket chipping?

They have to detune it from the factory in order to have two proper models.
More power and boost on the turbo will be harder on the car then if you kept it stock. Thats not rocket science. But lots of people have chipped there 1.8t 2.0t and never had blown turbos or any issues.
The opportunity exists for aftermarket chipping because these cars have turbos. The engine management system once chipped with allow for higher boost from the turbo, giving your more power. Naturally aspirated cars cant get chipped.
