It will be slower, but your turbos will last longer. MTM has more boost taper up top.

Default Bad idea. Keep your GIAC. Or else just get an MTM as a 2nd ECU. I ran three ECUs' for a while ...
(APR, GIAC, ASP).

Default I've had both and liked them both. The MTM was
smoother and had way less power up in high revs.

The GIAC has more overall power but can be a bit jerky.

Overall I prefered the GIAC. I was underwhelmed by the MTM, but my turbo's might have lasted longer if I just stuck with it. Oh well, stage III is way better anyway. :-0
