Default Chip Question

I want to get a Giac or apr chip for my car but if i get more than one program does it matter if my center display thing doesnt work, do i need to see that for changing the programs???

No you dont need the center display at least for GIAC.. Its a little hand held remote thing that you plug in to change it... APR can chose programs by using the cc functions.. i think.

Goes up to 16 psi I think.. I just got my boost gauge so im about to find out for sure... Get GIAC! If you want aggressive get GIAC.. Thats what the guy at APR told me.. But Ive experienced both and they are both fast. I think that giac pulls more on the ow end, and apr pulls stronger at higher rpms. GIAC gives me more of that rocket feeling. Try to experience both if you can. Either one will give you a **** eating grin for about 2 weeks.

I also lean towards GIAC. Either way, a chipped Audi is a chipped Audi and you'll be glad you did it.
