I searched through some older posts and found discussions about which chip is better. Now I plan to upgrade my turbo eventually and was told to get the GIAC. I was just curious as to where I could see the hp/tq gains because the APR site lists the gains. Is there much difference, if any difference between the two at all?

 

please search in the future, this question has been asked and answered by many.

if you plan to upgrade your turbo, go with GIAC because t hey will offer a discounted upgrade for their ko4 chip.

differences are said to be that APR has a smoother, continuous power curve...while GIAC has a sharp power curve that will shoot you back in your seat. many reccomend that you go with the tuner who has a dealer closest to you. i.e.-i live very close to Ach Tuning, an APR exclusive dealer-so i would go through them.

 

this discussion happens daily on these forums

usually under the same thread name too

 

I fugured this question would've been asked many times before but I guess I didn't look too far back enough to find something that would help me. Thanks for the help anyways.

 

You are going to get biased opinions .
GIAC is more aggresive, while APR has a smoother powerband
You would enjoy both .

 

Thank's Dave. I'm gonna go with the GIAC because I plan to upgrade the turbo. The hp/tq gains are very similar between the two right?

 

yeah, both relatively similar gains.

 

Thanks for your input.
