all chips should be installed at the dealer....
either very small soldering or a flash-loading will have to be done

make your decision of APR vs. GIAC based on where the closest dealer is would be my suggestion....
...keep in mind if your car starts acting up you don't want to have to drive 100 miles to get the last people who worked on it to take a look at it..



where in Jersey are you ??

AWE Tuning does GIAC and i'd highly recommend them.
they're just north of Philly in Willow Grove
