Bought it through the classifieds.

How foolish is THAT?

Default I'm afraid to find out. It's going to take a few days before I'm comfortable enough to
push it. I was just happy I made it to work today. Reading this forum make you kinda jumpy.

Default MTM is a nice chip from what I heard, the power is sopuose to be smooth not a kick hard like GIAC
I think as long as you warm up and cool down right you will be fine.

Default Very smooth, almost unnoticable
except that the speedometer climbs faster than before.

Default I just pulled an MTM ECU from my Laser Avant
I moved it into my Silver Avant before selling that one. I wanted to keep my APR software because I'll save a little money when I go Stage 3.

The MTM was WAY smoother -- very nice IMHO. The APR is more fun in that you really feel the push when you get into boost.
