Default Getting a chip next week......

Well, I finally have the money to get a chip for my 2001 A4. I still haven't made up my mind on which brand yet though. Any arguments for a specific brand? Thanks for your input!

If you want to be able to swap programs on the fly go with APR(EMCS). Otherwise, GIAC.

Default No arguments, but my opinion is Buy local....

Install w/o down time, and support if ever needed.

I went GIAC due to local Chip-while-you-wait installer. absolutely NO regrets!!

It could have easily been APR, MTM, WETT etc.

GIAC is an excellent Chip. But, again Now I have APR Stage III.

Hope this helped!
Audi On!

Default The head of one of the major chip companies told me that.......

all the chips out on the market make about the same power. Very little difference.
