"revo has had lots of problems with many customers from questionable business practices. Moreover, there was a lawsuit against revo for "stealing" intellectual property from APR. Basically revo stole all of APRs code and spawned into a new company. The tuning is unsafe since it is programed to ignore native safety features in the OEM system. Lots of info here and on audiworld. I would get anything BUT revo. Not to mention their crappy stage 3 stuff."

Yes, apr is in a lowsuit because revo basically took there software, Revo is new to the world of tuning, apr is not. Apr is much more reliable and alot more tested. I personally will never run revo software. It has ruined ecus also.

Panda, take it from me, i have ran alot of the software now. In my expeirences, GIAC owns. Now, i didnt run giac with a ko3, but i have it now with a ko4 and it is sweet. I ran apr for a while also, extremely strong, hard pulling. Giac is a lil later in the rpms band, but when it does, wow, hang on. Gaic, with a flashloader(100oct) is the way to go if your not upgradeing turbo. Giac has the fastest ko3 a4 time, of around 14.1, pretty impressive.
