Sup guy's, I was wondering if any of you guys could recommend a local shop, where they can chip my 99 Audi A4 (perferred GIAC)?

Oh, and how much does it run ($) ? and if it takes long to install?

Thanks

Jeff Moss (http://www.torque-factory.com) in Santa Monica, he's an authorized GIAC dealer. :tup:

Hartmann-Motorsports s*cks big time. If you want APR (which I can highly recommend), goto North LA to Ingolstadt West. Ask Kevan.

Jeff Moss is your man. I've had both APR and GIAC and prefer GIAC. Jeff Moss is a great dude and his customer service is way above par for the tuning industry.

You'll toss a few engine codes in the beginning, all chips do that. Then the tuner readjusts some of the settings, it goes away, you're done.


Watch out for- yeah, your stomach! The chip is a HUGE noticeable difference in a turbo-charged car. You'll have the shiet-eatin grin we all do when you first drive it away.... :D :D :D :D :smokem: :smokem:

J. Moss is close to the OC on a weekend :D his "shop" (house w/ a business license, but he's got enough equipment jammed in there to be a shop!) is very very close to the 10/405 interchange so it's a quick sprint up to Wes-Syde for ya.

Except don't exit national, it has been under construction for months and usually takes 30min to get through. Often it is backed up onto the 405. Worst part about meeting J. Moss at his house. :D

I think that Advanced Motorsport Solutions has an awesome setup for any Audi's. I'd recommend them to anyone.
