[A4] A4 Digest, Vol 24, Issue 5

[Nicholas Stock]

I had an APR on my 2000 1.8T. The only problems I had were not with the
chip, but with the other stuff exposed to higher pressures etc...if you
decide to chip, then make sure you get rid of all that braided vacuum hose
and replace it with good silicon hosing. You will probably want to replace
the BPV too...after that, I had a lot of fun for 50,000 miles..
