Default ECU Upgrade

How long does it typically take to see ECU upgrades for new cars. I'm itching to get some more power from my ride and would love to get a chip upgrade from APR or GIAC. Are we talking weeks, months, or a year or more?

Those are not an ECU upgrade, those are piggybacks.

2 weeks.



For those who don't get this, if I remember correctly, back in 2001 when the 02 B6 A4 1.8T came out, APR kept saying the chip was comming out in 2 weeks. Every time there was an status update they kept saying 2 weeks. It ended up taking a couple of months but it was worth the wait.
