Default I know about the GIAC one, I heard....
that is makes shift time .2 seconds instead of 1.0 second. I also heard it increases the life of the tranny.

Default PES Tip Chip is GIAC... I've had it in my SC A4 and it indeed does......
makes a huge difference in tiptronic response times.

I would say smoothness and shifting speed was a vast improvement over stock.
