APR is a very reliable company and would be a good one to go with.

What i've heard, APR is not that agressive, but one of the smoothest chip programms you can get for your B6.

not that agressive lol? its extremely aggressive yet smooth...

since you have an 02 model though i would advise you not to get APR since many people seem to get a CEL for a lean code on the 02 models only.... i think the problem is limited to those with the APR 1+ program... if you search audizine for lean codes you will get a fairly long thread on it

whatever you decide make sure u do the stage FX/1+/II program! it will provide quite a bit more HP but mainly the torque that you will feel!
the stage 1 is barely worth it... if you PM manguyen on audizine, he has a great deal on the injectors you need... you can install them yourself before the flash.. most companies are the same price for the 1 or 1+ flash (apr is anyway)

I've always heard good things about APR.

My car is currently running wrong, just chipped it with REVO.. But my spark plugs are gapped wrong, but I'll have that fixed soon and hopefully everything will start running correctly.
