and no this is not a debate on which one is better. I just want to know which chip delivers the power when.

I didn't know the chip made the turbo kick in later then
the stock software. My turbo seems to kick in between 2-3k. Looks like I have more reasearch to do before I purchase a chip.

ummm.....i feel the increase all the way at the bottom of the power band...
it shouldn't matter what version you have. The chip doesn't "kick in", it affects the entire powerband. If you mean your turbo doesn't kick in until 4k then something is wrong with it.

My GIAC chip kicks in about 2.5k and goes all the way to about 6k
after 6k the turbo can't handle any more and the power drops off. At close to 4-4.5k I'm running 22 lbs of boost.... =)

It doesn't... I still feel it spool at 1800 ... just that at 3000, there's much more chipped than...
...than at 3000 stock.
It doesn't hurt the drive-ability one bit.
It just gives you MORE juice in the mid-range.
Get the chip... and get it now.
By the way, I have a 2001.5 and a GIAC chip... and love it 100%
