A4 Quattro Turbo - Chipping?

[Bomber Denton]

I have just bought a 99 Audi A4 Quattro Turbo Sport (petrol 180bhp) as a daily hack and was looking at getting a re-map now the majority are plug and play and take the car from 180 to 210/215bhp.
Prices vary for a bespoke chip from 50 on ebay to 450 at a tuning shop! Anyone had any experience with either on this engine?

Ta in advance, Corin

i certainly wouldnt go putting a £50 ebay chip in my car!
There are plenty of companies offering seriel remaps both custom or generic eg stage 1,2 o r 3.

From what i understand from the 20vt owners i know

REVO - gives a high peak HP figure good for marketing but their maps are quite aggresive
Custom Code - much better mid range much smoother power delivery

AMD, BLUEFIN (superchips), GEAC and others are available to and are highly regarded.

i think storm developments are currently doing 30% off custom code remaps, check their website. Also have a browse on Audisport net as there will be feedback from remaps on there.

Expect your 180hp to get to 210-215 region and be on par with a early S3 ;-)

Speak to Paul at Regal in Southampton about a GIAC map.

REVO maps are very good. I wouldnt say they give good peak power but plenty of low down torque which makes them feel aggressive.
