Default Chips in TO...

I just picked up a '02 1.8T and am in the market for a chip. In my previous A4 I was APR all the way and had zero problems. However, after reading the forums there seems some new glitches arising with their B6 programs it would appear. I still think the APR chip is solid but this lead to me to consider other options.

I was just wondering if anyone in the Toronto area was running an MTM or REVO program in a B6 for an extended period and what your thoughts were. I wanted to ask this area specific since dealer support is probably a fairly important aspect.

I do realize that this topic has been beat to crap in comparisons but I was more wondering about people's experiences in regards to the chips their using.

TIA

Default i've had both APR and REVO and...

Revo was more aggressive and fun to drive.

You could actually hear the turbo with Revo..

Also, going with revo leaves more options open to you...for example:
if you ever go to K04/bigger turbo, you would only have to pay the difference to get the software for it...where as with APR, i dont even think they are making K04 software, and they wont be selling any Big turbo software alone...only with their kit.

go Revo.

Default well (here I go again) Pfaff Tuning is doing GIAC, and some feel with Pfaff and tuning you'll have..

better support when it comes to problems and/or dealership service...with, ahem, mods.

A well known dealership that also has a tuning facility... ...how can you go wrong...?
