Tip Chip - taking the plunge...

Oct 01, 2004 5 Replies

I am in the process of making up my mind to get a Tip-chip for my '03 Passat V6. (I'd kinda like to get out of warranty, but sometimes the slow shifting really annoys me.) Problem is, I'd rather not give up my car for the two or three days it takes to send in the ECU, have it modded, and get it back. Sooo...



A) Does anyone know of place in the Long Island area that will do the work locally? (I doubt it...)



B) Does anyone know where you can buy used or refurbished Tip ECUs? I did some Google and Ebay searching but didn't find anything...



C) (just crazy talkin' now) Is a manual transmission swap possible, and if so, any idea about cost?



Thanks,
