    GIAC all the way, i have personally dyno'd with APR, REVO, UPSOLUTE and my car made more power w/ less mods than all of the others, you can read all of the shit you want but GIAC is the only chip i would put on my car.

    If you want i'll have tracy/dan pull the dynos for ya and show ya whatz up... my car made 40+hp/70+lbs w/ chip alone.

    *i will say i've have seen an APR 93 make a few more hp than GIAC 93, but torque was big differance and GIAC has it in the bag

    I have APR and i love it, but i have never driven a comprable car w/ GIAC to offer a first hand experience. Honestly you cant go wrong with either.

    i have APR on mine but its because it had to have it 4 the stage 3 BT... i had revo on my GLI which worked well. i have been in every type of chipped 1.8t besides a GIAC. michigan didnt have many choices like you do here! i think they all have there ups and downs.

    its a never ending battle go to the whore tex... its never ending

    GOOD LUCK

    ME REPLY ON THIS?......WHICH IS BETTER.......NOT W/ A 10' POLE....
    Welcome to the great debate. In the end its whats the better deal. The driver can make the difference before the software, I think we can all agree on that.
    I used APR...and had no probs ever.

    GIAC has always usually shown more power gains. APR usually has a smoother power band. GIAC likes to kick boost in pretty hard. I guess however you like to have it, thats your choice.
