Question ECU Chip upgrade for my A4 (B8)

Wussup guys,

I have been contemplating getting an upgrade done to my ECU but I don't know which company is best. Also, I wanted to make sure that it can be reset to oem when I take it into service. I'm still not sold only because my car is brand new and I'm worried about warranty issues. Anyhow, from the research I've done, APR seems to make a decent chip for my A4. Any thoughts and suggestions? Are there other chip manufacturers?

I also got smoked headlights and rears done using laminex film. If anyone needs a hook up lemme know and I can give you my contact.

tdenton has the same car and was concerned about the same issues. He ended up taking it to Pfaff tuning to have the ECU done. From what I hear he is very happy. Having it done at Pfaff did not void or have an effect on the warranty. Get in touch with tdenton for further information.
