yeah how do you think i felt when my Brand new Audi S4's engine blew up after i put a chip in it. Now that sucked. I am now scared to fuck with electronics in a car, asides from the stereo. ALthough I've also had alot of bad experiences with my stereo install too. Electronics are such a pain in the ass.

i know 3 guys with chipped S4's damn that sucks...so far they have been lucky with no chip probs, but two lost their warrenties cause the dealership found the chip...one actually picked it up with the chip turned on after a service...

What the hell is an APEXi VAFC II?

Well, sorry to hear you had to spend 1200 reluctantly, but hope all goes well.
