I'm curious, yet skeptical.

is that really all they can get out of the 3.2?! I was looking the other nite. Revo, ECS and a few others, push out more hp gains with the 2.0T tune. Weird.

There is much more power to be made with a chip on forced-induction engines.

That link was the first I have seen of this. I'm not familiar with any of these brands. Anyone recommend for or against?

So...time for a thread re-birth. I now see GIAC has a chip for the 3.2 Any suggestions/advice/experiences with GIAC? I'd be really p.o.'d if I do something that just ends up causing the CEL to come on weekly.

GIAC is one of the top companies working with Audi's and VW

I would buy a chip from GIAC worry free personally, especially over "vivi racing" and some of the other brands I've never heard of.
