Default I don't know...AWE's service is pretty decent and so is giacusa. APR people are cool because they're

down to earth like many people around here. I don't think you'll go wrong from a service point of view...but some might disagree.

Default FWIW, you may want to do a search - there was a post a few weeks ago...

where a guy compared a MTM S4 vs. APR S4 vs. GIAC X chip S4 - If I remember correctly, the APR S4 faired the worst of the 3.

The 3 of them were street racing, and the MTM and GIAC X were by far faster than the APR - but find the post for yourself - it was made a few weeks ago.

Default You can't compare like that, I bet if you race the cars stock

you'd find the same results. Problem is besides other mods and gas is the engineering tolerances some engines are stronger then others, plain and simple.

Default I was once told Saab had great service.

Doesn't mean I'd think about buying one in a million years...
