Default repost: Which big turbo software is most reliable for a 2000?

Cost is secondary, but I don't have a second car so I can't afford to have my a4 in the shop fine tuning everything and resending the ecu to the tuner to get all the bugs worked out.

any horror stories?

I am considering
1 AWE ko4
2 APR stage 3 (although I am currently running giac)
3. K04 hybrid if/when it ever comes out
any suggestions?

Default I'd say APR Stage 3 or PES T28.

I'd stay away from ATP, especially if you don't have a second car.

Someone was having an issue with the K04 on his DBW car (2001.5 I think) redline1.8t maybe?

Default Which of the turbos keeps the most low RPM torque?

I love the fact that my giac chip kicks in at at 2200-2500 rmp I never really drive over 4500 anyway so what I am really looking for low end power. I don't particularly trust the manufacturers unstandardized dyno plots so maybe you guys can tell me from experience...

Thanks

The best low end torque would be the AWE K04...
