Default S4 chipping

A friend of mine had one done hear in Toronto and when we lined up
side by side, it was evident right away that he had wasted 1500.00

I don't know the name of the chip but it was supposedly this porche guru,s
own design . He not only installed the chip but he kept the car for 3 days to fine tune it with a laptop. could he not see that there was no difference?

Default APR chip REALLY works -- that dyno graph is correct...

So do the chips by GIAC, MTM/Hoppen and the others we've heard of here. They increase turbo boost dramatically allowing more power.<ul><li><a href="http://www.goapr.com/S4/s4.html#chip">APR S4 Performance Chips</a></li></ul>

Default Yeah, it's night and day...

I show G-Tech impovements of an average 0.5 sec better and can get an average 7 more MPH on most little test spots. 6th gear is now as fast as or faster than 4th used to be.
