GF Performance chip?
Just poking around the net and ran across this. Just curious, anyone tried it?

I put one on my 98 coupe last summer. Can't see any noticable difference in the performance or the mileage, but I have mostly been driving in city traffic asince then. This spring or summer I'll take a long trip and check my gas mileage to be sure. I think I paid $69 for it and it took about 10 minutes to install, so no biggy.

Honestly, just a waste of money. Even at $69, it's $69 too much.

Return it if you can and put the $70.'s toward a mail order street tune from East Coast Supercharging or COW. You will get better gas mileage and performance, and if auto better shift points.

I have a 2002 Coupe with an A4 and I sent mine to COW to be tuned and the turn around time was less than a week from when I sent it and got it back, I have to say when I installed the pcm back in the car I had a whole new car, Chuck is very helpful and very knowledgeable. Money well spent and if you ever need a change he will help you out.

Newbie C5 owner questions about this:
1. What is COW?
2. What is involved in removing the PCM?
Both COW and East Coast Supercharging can do this? Price is about the same for both?
