I'm going withAPR mself... $599. For the month of July, you get the stock program for free...a savings of $149.

Can't answer the maintenance question, but be ready....

apr is very mild .....actually the most mild of all the chips, REVO is very popular and is very aggressive GIAC seems to be the median of both smoothness and performance, and i eprsonally have unitronics and it is very very very quick

most chips tend to all have around the same peak output, however, where they vary is where its applied along the rpm band!

I definatly have to say go with dalhbackracing chip. The best one out there it gives 10 more horsepower then revo and 300ftlbs of torque! def go with that. If you have trouble finding it go with revo. I had it on my car before i did all the custom mods and now no longer have a ecu reflash prgram. let me know how it works for you

Is the Dalhbackracing chip safe with everything else stock?

I don't want to hurt the motor...

Default RE: Ecu upgrades

yeah, with any chip you are going to have to get a new DV due to the increase in boost... so with any new chip that you get for your car you will have to buy an aftermarket DV for it to accomodate the new levels of boost. this will run you about $250 or something around there
