Default Opinion on what you would do.... (Chip talk inside)

I want to chip the TT and have been getting little funds here and there saved without really touching my paychecks. I really was wanting to get the GIAC but the shop that already does the work on my car is a APR dealer. That shop is now offering APR chips with buy one get one free programs. I really want GIAC but with a few people having reliability issues and now the great deal on the APR I am stuck. The deal they are offering is as follows... Buy the chip $499 and get one program free buy the chip and a program and get two programs free. I origanally was going to wait a little while but I must act by the end of the month to get this price what would you do????? TIA

Default Local is better IMO and personally you can't go wrong with any of the major tuners

I've run both - both have been good to me.

Default GOAPR.....>

Benefit of the local shop who can support you. Nothing wrong with the APR chip. Mine was lawless for 6+ years and responded nicely to further mods..
