Do you know what brand of chip the dealer were putting in? The Audi-modding folks usually say good things about MTM (apart form a few S4s and RS4s that got a bit over-egged).

Abt are doing a chip through Audi dealers where you can chip for 505bhp and keep your warranty, but it's expensive at around £3k... :eek: Your dealer should know about this.

If your're going the independant route, you could always try Kim Collins at qst - he's got a good reputation.

Hope you get sorted!

Chris.

I recommend MTM over anything.

So MTM it is=):addict:

MTM is nice but in the UK Abt will warrant your car.

Stay tuned guys, APR has their RS6 and they'll have their software out pretty soon. And have you seen their new DPP programming? Modifies the ECU directly through the OBD-II port without actually physically touching the ECU at all (very nice for keeping your warranty in tact). You also get the ability to switch between as many as four different programs. Pretty amazing stuff. I've driven many 2.7Ts with APR stuff and know it to be top quality stuff (not to mention the extra technology that goes into it...multiple programs, DPP, etc).

Regarding ODB-II port chipping - make sure they chip the tiptronic as well. Otherwise I'd NEVER get it.

I think that's slightly wrong - more likely they need some proof of your ID so they can demonstrate to Audi / quattro Gmbh that it's a genuine customer order, not a spare ECU to be used for chipping or something.

They might send your ECU over to Germany to be resurrected by quattro. I just hope they don't pronounce cause of death to be tampering. If they do, I'd talk to the tuner who had it when it expired and suggest they cough up for a new one...

Really sorry to hear of all your troubles Brian. I hope all is fixed by the time you're done with golf vacation.
Speaking of which, I hope you have a great time in Portugal. That's where I'm originally from, and it's a lovely country.

So is there no way to order another ECU for the RS6 without raising suspicion?
