Which Chip to get?
Is the heuspeed ship better or the GIAC chip? Neuspeed says it produces 25-30 HP at the wheels but GIAC says that it produces 30-38 but does not specify whether it is at the wheel or not. Can people tell me which one they have and which one do they know is better?

yeah sorry.. no really here is why
Im sorry that was mean..
I just had to do it though..the same topics recirculate here every week/month it seems.. and partially I know its not your fault..its the lame way that this forums are set up where if you dont read every single hour then stuff scrolls by and you miss it but partially people are lazy.
Now as far as your chip..
ITs such a personal choice that its hard to answer a question like that.. there is no "which chip is best". I personally think GIAC is the best but Im going with revo cuz its odb programmable and I don't want to buy an extra ecu for when I go in for service. SOme people say neuspeed is just as good as any other and its the cheapest (I think its only $295 or something).
APR ..I dont really hear much about that except that they were so delayed in releasing a b6 chip and made some excuses about having to replace injectors etc.
My $ is on revo but giac is probably as good if not better and for the price neuspeed seems like a good option.
Also you didn't even specify if you had a manual or CVT or tip..and 1.8t or 3.0 ..Im assuming you mean 1.8t manual quattro which is what most people have here????
Now you see why I posted the search link???

i went with revo (more)
I'll be going snowbaording tomorrow with the audi quattro and will be putting the revo to the test of turns at bear mountain. it might not be the smartest thing to do, but it'll be fun, plus i'll had a season pass for a few years now and know the turns pretty well. expect a full write up about the revo chip tomorrow night.
