Default Revo Vs GIAC chip

1) Can anyone tell me which is a better chip for B6 1.8T Quattro 5spd, Revo or GIAC?
2) Also, I know that Revo is just a plug and play software upgrade with no hardware modification, is GIAC chip the same or does it require hardware installation (mod chip on ECU)?
3) I only have a Turbosmart 50/50 DV installed, how big of a difference of a feeling will the chip do?

Thanks!

Revo seems to be the better tuner for the B6's but you can do a serch on this as it has been posted multiple times

I know w/ GIAC if your not satisfied within 30 days you can get a full refund. I guarantee you'll be happy though. Also, I've heard many good things about REVO for the B6's.

we need a sticky post at the top about what chip to get! and what car is better the 1.8T or the 2.8, also one about an engine swap.

Just keep in mind that the free 5 Hr run is only like being set on low boost 9 and if you get the flash and a sps3 you can go up to high boost 9 and play with timeing.

Yeah, I heard that. So what is even the point of the trial?
