Default which chip is the ........

i'm interested in getting a chip for my 01A41.8turbo The problem that I have is.....what is the difference in all the chips that are available out there. does a certain chip have better torque gain or hp gain over another chip, and which chip has a good reliability rating. i've narrowed my choices down to either APR or Garrett. If anyone has any input or information on this matter, please let me know

Default like a4ever said .. you cant loose with either, but ...

if you plan on going beyond just the chip & exhaust combo in the future .. you should choose the tuner which has the best upgrade path for your needs.

i'll eventually go the way of the apr stage3 kit so the apr chip was the best choice for me.<p>99.5 1.8tqms apr and stuff

have you heard anything about nuespeed chips???
they also have a 1 bar chip but it cost only $349 compared to 499 with APR and garrett. is it a inferior chip?

Default Go APR.....

Neuspeed should not be in the same sentence as APR and GIAC. Neuspeed is crap.

GIAC is good, but go with APR for the best chip and customer service/support.
