This debate is nearly as old as this forum, I think...

Dahlback chips are the most aggressive and the most expensive.

APR and Revo use the car's obd2 port to reprogram the ecu, so the chip doesn't have to be physically removed.

Really, what it comes down to, is to go with the dealer closest to you and rock whatever chip they sell.

Re: chips

Revo with an SPS 3 is way cool as you can get as aggresive as you dare or cut back boost and timing for lower grade gas.

Also easy to restore to stock for dealer visits or warranty issues.

Are you the only person in the country with a Dahlback chip? >>>

I don't mind paying extra for the best, but as yet, the only endorsement I've seen is....yours. Could you be so kind as to point me to any substantiating evidence?
TIA
