Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Yup I second that. Seb is at Girraween and is your man for GIAC chips, same power, still undetectable, you can switch it off and is usually a bit cheaper then the others. As Adam says he is 10-15 minutes away.Originally posted by Adam View Posthey. best mechanic is seb at euroauto....best person to go see about things... best thign is, you are like 10mins away from him

chip ?
what are the diff`s between the diff chips you can get
seb intalls diff ones to apr ? prob a dumb question.Comment

Not at all a dumb Q. One thing you will discover is that different chips for VAG cars stir up some strong feelings, leading to chip wars so we'll try to avoid thatOriginally posted by m.camo View Post
They are both very good, both about the same power, about 150kw. The big diff is switching programs. APR uses the wiper stalk to switch between programs, whilst GIAC uses a box that plugs into a port under the dash. They are both undetectable. APR is more expensive, however if you buy the GIAC switch box the prices get a lot closer. IMO it'll come down to what you can afford and who is closer. There are other players out there such as Revo, can I suggest using the search function to find out lots of info.

Generally the dealers will void your warranty if they can point at your mods (software or other) and say that the problem you are taking your car in for was caused by the mods.
If they cannot say that (ie you may have a suspension problem and the only mod you have made is software), then they will generally go ahead and fix under warranty.
It's basically a 'common sense' (I know ... oxymoronic statement) approach ... if there is a direct link between what you've done (modded) and the problem ... forget about your warranty ... it's gone.
