Default Final opinion needed:
I have decided to join the ranks of those with a chipped S4 (Trying to squeeze in as much as possible before next weekend! I STFA but would like a more recent opinion on whether I should go with APR or GIAC X (which Im leaning towards). I will be running 93 octane, possibly 94 every now and then. I most likely will only be "racing" on the freeway. Next in line are the bpv, dp, and exhaust... if that should change anyone's opinion. TIA

Default would you like for your turbos to die in 8 months or 6?
same difference, might as well go giac and enjoy it while it lasts.

X for more powah, and APR for smoothness. Don't forget the mbc in parallel for spikes. GL !

Default I'd look into GIAC or ABT....at least both have great timing. Go with ABT if you want smooove powah
GIAC for that extra bite.

Been using my X-chip on stock turbos for over 3 years. Does run rough at cold start in cold weather (runs rich).

APR vs. Giac .. some say the APR is a smoother ride, but Giac puts more on the turbo's
