Revo do one, which plugs into the VAGCOM port you mentioned - with switchable modes.  Not sure if they do it for your model - check out their website

yeah my mates got his audi rs4 chipped by them, unbelieveable!!!! its also switchable so if he wants to drive sensibly he can switch it back to stanard set up then change it as he feels. i've only heard good stuff about them.

Revo are pretty well established and respected - lots of people on here have used it.

is there any where i can get the software cos they want £500 for the software witch seems bit steep to me?

not steep at all, that represents months and months of development and testing by a team of automotive technicians and software designers, not to mention the outlay of supplying dealers across the whole country .. yea it may be a little more than most, but revo is a world wide company with a reputation unmatched.

any remap you go for will just be "software" so dont be put off by the fact you're paying for something you cant touch
