every engine and car is slightly different. One of the goals is to
ensure that
every car can gets out of manufacturing sucessfully meeting EPA and
reliability standards.
reworking cars is a not good engineering and costly to profits.

performance benefits can be dramatic, again varies a bit car to car,
and other parts like transmissions, clutches, turbos, injectors, cams
can be affected if mods are pushed to the limits.

i met a 911 turbo owner who had chipped his turbo and blown 2
tranmissions

Yeah, but imagine the fun he had doing that :-)

I just had my recently purchased 03 A4 1.8T flashed with the Neuspee
Optican flash. Its a tiny bit choppy but wow...it's like an entirel
different car. Does anyone have experience with this flash? I'
wondering if there's anything else simple I might consider to augmen
the yumminess of the tuning: pullies, injectors, pipes (quiet ones)
cold air intake? I don;t want to go as far as a K04 or anything...jus
want to support the chipping. I'm in Ontario Canada where the emission
criteria are certainly not as stringent as they are in California.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
