    1.8T Manual Chip fit work on a 1.8T TIP?

    Mine is Quattro Manual. His is TIP.

    From what I've been told it will work just fine as long as he has someone VAG his car to change the settings to adjust from Manual to Tip or Quattro to FWD.

    Is this correct and can some of your gurus confirm please?

    Thanks in advanced.

    Yep, all you have to do is reflash the chip so its changed to the type of your car. AWE can do it in like 2 min or you can use the VAG tool to do this!

    nope.... same program if you are not swapping ECUs and just having the chip installed into his ECU.

    If you are swapping ECUs.... refer to the above.

    He is taking my chip, not ECU. He'll still have to get his ECU socketed, etc..
