With the Audi turbo engines, the potential of BIG power increases
are there with chip mods and other tweaks.  It's hard resist the
temptation when you can spend just a few hundred dollars and add
40-60hp and a similarly big boost in torque...

Of course with any such mods you reduce or remove the built-in safety
margins, and if not treated with care, component or engine failures
are quite conceivable.  This is particularly true for the late model
Audis with their small K03 turbos.  They are designed for quick spool-up
in low RPMs, but are not really suitable for big boosts.
