[BiturboS4] New S4 owner

[Quincy Chiang]

FYI, when I had my A4, my salesman would ask me if I've chipped my car everytime I see him.  He told me that my dealer hadn't had any problems with chipped 1.8t engines, but they had at least 3 S4's with blown turbos due to chipping, one just received its 3rd set of K03's.  This will for sure affect my decision regarding chipping, basically I'll have to expect the stock turbos to blow at some point, and be ready to pay up for replacement, probably with K04's when that happens ;-)

Hi Ti,
I'm curious - have you experimented with chipping, or are you reluctant
to do this while your car is in warranty as I am?  I understand if you
don't want to answer to the whole list.  Cheers.

For those of you looking to "chip" your S4, you might consider
waiting until either APR or Revotechnik comes out with their
externally flashable versions for the US-S4s.  No need to remove
or open the ECU.  The new code is programmed in directly via the
diagnostic port.
