Yebut, the Oettinger warranty is two years more than the SuperChips warranty! 

You do get a warranty with superchips though.
TT you do realise I'm now living in fear of my turbo exploding after reading your posts re. superchips! :wink:

Regarding the systems check that VW can do to see how many times the ECU has been re-flashed - Does this mean that if you have Revo or Bluefin that each time you swap the map it adds another re-flash check to it's memory. If this is the case then reversible maps are transparent to say the least :undecided:

exactly. So no fooling VW and insurance people!   :evil:

I'm not so sure on that ^^^ point!

Well, insurance people are on a need to know basis.  :wink:

yep, I thought so myself as well. It may even be unlimited warranty, as long as it can be proven that problem was caused by the chip. But the same applies to Oettinger, except warranty is 2 years.

Do you?  :undecided:
If it has words like "limited" in it - then think of "teapot" and "chocolate" - and you should get some idea of its' potential effectiveness!

Yebut - you all seem to have missed the point again.

Surely, it would be much better to use a product, which by its' nature of considerable more development - makes it considerably more reliable.  In that instance, it wouldn't matter weather the warranty was 15minutes or 15 years !!!!  :smug:

Damn, I get no reply from Oettinger about the pricing.  :undecided:
And no reply from Milltek about the exhaust for Ed.30. Maybe Milltek does not like people from continent asking questions?  :undecided: Does anybody have an update on the exhaust? I mean, they have one for S3 already! Cmon, Milltek!!!

If you wait till after the 17th of this month, I'm sure Ed30 owners will have badgered Milltek into submission at Inters!

Milltek, quite rightly in my opinion, won't launch a product until they are satisfied it will work well. Producing performance exhaust systems for cars involves much more than just bending tubes.

Well said that man, quite right.  That is why Milltek are deemed to be the best out there.
