    After talking with my Audi service manager I have decided not to tune my 2016 A7 for fear of something going wrong with the electronic in the car......too much going on and too many moving parts with the B&O system. Would love to know if anyone has used Race Chip or anything else.

    Thanks in advance

    Take a look at these 2. Chipwerke & Race Chip are both very similar products:

    Also, I'm not using my Chipwerke Piggy Back. I had no issues with it - just no point for me in my bumper-to-bumper commute and I'm considering getting a 911 anyway. If you're interested, I wouldn't mind selling it, just PM me.

    What I posted in the thread right next to yours.

    "HyperM3 had a racechip on his S6. Worth pointing out that he did not stack with an ECU tune, he ran it on its own. It is essentially a piggyback, not an ECU tune. Here is the link to the product. The discussion is that this is not detectable by Audi since it is not an ECU tune and therefore could not be flagged TD1

    Here is his thread using it on his new A4.

    This post reminded me that I have mine sitting in the closet, so I listed it formally for sale if anyone is interested :)

    Anyone know much about Race Chip?

    Race Chip has a very bad reputation here in Germany. The one for 3.0T engine actually makes about 11hp less than stock. There is a dyno chart in a German board.
