RE: GIAC-APR
have anyone heard of the X chip by GiAC this shop told me its a 1.3 bar chip which gives an extra 20hp than the regular 1 bar chip and requires a front mount and 100 octane gas, anyone heard of or know anything about this

RE: GIAC-APR
I'm going with the APR for mostly one reason, driveability. I've seen some posts here where the GIAC creates some driving quirks and I bought an Audi for its driveability, it's important to me that I don't lose any degree of it. If it means a few less ponies and torque then so be it, I don't need the F1 car driving feel, but it's my preference.

RE: GIAC-APR
i was told by my installer that they used the X-chip on my vehicle and i assume they did because i peak around 19-20 psi and hold steady @ 17-18 when i am in 3rd or 4th gear.
if anyone could inform me of how i can tell exactly which chip they used that would be great.
i guess it will be printed on top of the chip in the ecu?
