pchip (ie. Neuspeed) is relatively the same as APR or GIAC chip. Basically just replacing the chip in the car with another that has upgraded programming.

What p-chip are you talking about specifically? They are all different in some way.

Tip chip is different and is specific for the transmission control unit. GIAC makes one and it speeds up the shifting lag. It does not add horsepower.

ECU chips (GIAC, APR, Neuspeed, Dahlbach, etc) reprogram the air/fuel mixture, and turbo pressure and add horsepower.

Why spend $500+ dollars on a chip when you can get a whole bag for 75 cents in a vending machine

I prefer Doritoes, but the salt and vin chips are more agressive.
