good as the APR software because I've waited this long. Plus, I have a GIAC retailer nearby, which would make installation a breeze. I've been told it should be ready around mid october, but i can't wait anymore.

Default Have U looked at independent dyno posted in VWforum? APR prgramming looks beautiful.. The AFR is so

solid that I can tell you that they spend many hours on the dyno....

I doubt that GIAC can do much better. You may get more horse from aggressive timing, maybe....

Default APR is worth a look, but I'm waiting for GIAC too...

A this point, both companies have earned their reps for producing reliable software engineering. Neuspeed and Revo as well. I've just had good luck with GIAC in the past, and I'm originally from Philly and have seen Garret do his thing at A.W.E. back when Todd just had a two bay shop in Chestnut Hill. Customer Loyalty, I guess but they've given me no reason to doubt them.

Default agreed, but i'd rather wait to compare rather than to buy APR now and not know what

GIAC can produce.

Why can't you wait? Is it that much of a dog?

well, the new car effect is gone, and now it needs to be a bit quicker, that's all.
