    Question How long have your been chipped?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So since i havent seen something like this before i thought it would be cool to see just how long peoples cars have been chipped on here. I figure it would be cool to see how long these cars can go chipped so that new users can see just how reliable and non threathing a chip is for these cars. Add any comments if you have had good/bad experiences.

    Re: How long have your been chipped?

    All good for me,
    K03- good increase in performance and driveability and an economy boost too when not stepping on it.
    K04- Not quite as drivable more on/off than the K03 tune as its a more agressive K04 tune i have, but the boost is soooooo adictive. Again economy still ok, if i can restrain myself, as i love tat spool up sound

    3 years and I still enjoy it. I try to stay out of boost most of the time, so its still exciting when it does spool.

    Enough mileage that it counts for more than a year of normal driving.

    No problems as of yet.

    Re: How long have your been chipped?

    2 years. 130,000 miles on car, 15,000 chipped. Shift knob is pretty worn though; my engine is probably the only thing that isn't shot. Speaking of which, does anyone have an update (98+?) shift knob sitting around that they will sell me? It's just the basic A4 knob but the 97's have really shitty ones.

    Re: How long have your been chipped?

    100,000miles chipped. No play at all in turbo. On my second 710N, and one 'L' hose replaced.... so considering, (reputable) chips are safe and reliable in my books.
    APR 93 Octane Chip, VDO Boost Gauge, 710N, Koni C/O's, Carbonio CAI, High Flow Coconut air freshener.

    60% of the time, it works EVERY time.
