What bugs? REVO is very stable and great!

I understand that the revo still has some bugs to work out. My advice: wait, or go with the best - GIAC!

Here's something I read, too.
1) Revo's stock software is not Audi's stock software: When revo loads a "stock" program... it's THEIR stock program, not the latest audi revision. The dealer will pick this up in a second.
2) If the dealer for some reason does flash your car (for a software update or the like).. REVO will be completely erased. Yes... completely gone, and you have to go back to your REVO dealer to reprogram your car.
3) When push comes to shove, with SPS3 you do get adjustability, but unless you have a wideband 02 sensor, and a dyno to tune it... then it's better to go with a preprogrammed chip.
4) You need to carry the Revo dongle with you everywhere you go if you want to switch modes. Not that much of a pain.. but obviously a far step behind the keyfob which you use for GIAC's IBE switching system.
5) Revo has practically NO resale value.
