Re: Anyone here using a tip chip?

If you want to sharpen up the throttle response in D and get rid of the automatic upshift/downshift in tip (the latter is only for DBW) just re-code the tip using VAG-COM. I did it and it worked extremely well. Shifting is more immediate, it'll hold to redline without having to put my foot to the floor etc... Here's the link and instructions http://www.passatworld.com/forums/sh...sport+recoding

i know that all to well even in my s4, there is a slight hesitation until she really picks up and takes off like a rocket. lol until then im like a sitting duck!

Re: Anyone here using a tip chip?

I'm also curious on this one for the A4. Will this help if not cure the hesitation when turning on yellow? I'm sure other tip owners know what I'm talking about. Waiting at a light to turn left, light turns yellow, you stomp on the gas and after what seems like an eternity the car wakes up and goes.

yeah the regular drive on the AR tip doesn't react very well to those types of situations unless you tell it exactly what to do, but even then it doesn't react that quickly. I find also that if I drive aggressively for 20 seconds to get passed some idiots (Vancouver is chock full) the car will continue to rev up to 4 or 5 thousand RPM's before shifting when I go back to driving regularly. it's bizarre.

jordan how much for it? i may put one in the AR..

driving camping on the weekend i would always have to toss the car into sport mode or tip mode and downshift to 3-4 to pass people..

Re: Anyone here using a tip chip?

So can you do an AEB 1.8T chip on site or do I have to mail it? Also, if I understand correctly is the VAST chip completely different than the GIAC tip chip? Finally, do you have anything in the line of technical specs. i.e. to what degree the shift times are reduced?

My parents have a tip Boxster (heresy I know) However, it's a good point of comparison as it has exactly the same gearbox. However Porsche did to their valve bodies and software what VW/audi should have done from the beginning. The shifts are immediate and crisp. I don't know that that sort of response is achievable on the VW/Audi tips without altering physical aspects of the gearbox (i.e. valve bodies). However I'm using this as my benchmark for what a tip should do.

PS: my TC's stall speed is 800 RPM above stock. Will that be a factor? I pretty much drive in tip mode all the time so I don't think it will matter.

10 minutes of hell fighting with the moulded carpet!!!!

LOL, true enough

Re: Anyone here using a tip chip?

is that ten minutes worth it?

i find that the TIP doesn't react or shift nearly as quickly or as crisply as I'd like, and it's been a good 5 years since I've driven a manual, but I recall being able to shift pretty fluidly and the car would react almost instantly.

At the same time, I drive a lot in downtown vancouver, and it's so stop and go, and I'm a big guy, 6'6" and shifting on the clutch constantly is harder because my knees are as high as the steering wheel, even in the a6/AR body.

Re: Anyone here using a tip chip?

The install is about 10 minutes. PM me for more info.

Re: Anyone here using a tip chip?

wow, cheap.

i still wonder why these things are just.. options on the car. i mean from a consumer point of view you'd think Audi would just.. make the car as awesome as they could. But then I remember that average drivers are somewhat dangerous to begin with.
