RE: Chip upgrade for A4 2.8 quattro manual?



Marty,
>From my experiece with my old Coupe QUattro, chips for non-turbo engines do
very little than kill your milage.  Schaumburg sell a larger throttle body for
the V6 that european car installed in one of their project A4 V6 12V, and they
said it had a small improvement.  Next, the exhaust is worth some tweaking.
Example: the euro A6 makes 193hp, and the american makes 200hp...all from MILD
exhaust mods.  So if you go with a very noisey, free flowing exhaust, you
should get another real 12 hp or so.

Just my thoughts,
