Who's closer...

I like APR. Why? They have an APR shop only a half hour from where I live. I think convenience plays a major part as to why most people pick one or the other.

Pick APR - They are very easy to get hold of and talk to. Try that with GIAC - Impossible.

I have a GIAC chip in my Passat and GIAC and AWE have lost records of me.

I have the APR in my TT and have several updates to the chip and the folks at APR are very willing to talk with you about any number of mods.

They have a TT and do alot of testing.

I consider APR, Stoptech, and Stratmosphere to be the best dealers/suppliers of any aftermarket TT parts.

GIAC uses their dealer network to take care of customers. Sounds like AWE may have

made an honest mistake.

How did they lose track of you?

What did you need?
