Default What year is your car. Because GIAC makes a chip for the 2000 1.8tqm that has more power and is just

as smooth as the APR chip. My Apr chip would only do 15.3's and the new GIAC chip ran 15.0's back to back.

im very very happy with my giac chip, and have had people tell me its just as smooth as apr and more powerful. todd and mike will take care of you... go giac!

Default Not true...not true

In my experience with the S4 chips...the GIAC is slightly smoother. I have seen discounts on the GIAC chip thru AWE/PES/Dynospot Racing.

To be honest...I think you can't go wrong with either of these chips.

I am going GIAC for power but for toys APR has EMCS which has peace of mind for service.

You want the P09L-6 chip. It is even better then the P08 running on 103 octane race gas.
