Default APR CHIP OWNERS

Question: Im currently looking for a chip. Ive been told to go with apr 93 octance program,
but i want to go 91 mainly because the raise in gas prices. 91 octane is sitting at $1.05 a Litre compared to 6 months ago, 91 would cost like .95 cents to .98 cents, I dont wanta have to pay for 93 right now. Anyways to get to my question. If i get the 91 program soldered in. Can i later get 93 program, and how much will that cost after ive got the 91 in there ? Should i just pay more at the pump and get 93 octnace, is the chip performance that different.
Any opinion or help is appreicated
Thanks

My mods: 2000 AWD 1.8t in a 94 GTI, front mount intercooler,B.o.v

Just buy both programs at once so you wont have to worry about it, you can switch the programs back and forth, I believe its $150.00 for each extra program you buy ontop of the chip...

Basic chip $499 includes 1 progrm
Flip switch option add $199 (will enable you to switch between programs though the cruise control switch )
Home Home Computer Upgrade Interface $99 (other option to the flip switch, cheaper but has to be plugewd in to the ecu directly to change program.)

I Highly sugest geting the flip switch cruise control option. I have it and I love it.
FlipSwitch Technology

For a total of 2 programs
(i.e. - Stock and Chipped)
add $149
For a total of 3 programs
add $219
For a total of 4 programs
add $289
Programs availible
91 Octane
93 Octane
100 octane
V-tune (availible for aww and awp motors only for now) Enables you to tune your ecu via your lab top and Vag cable(very nice)


Fault Code Erase/Throttle Body Alignment (FCE/TBA) add $59
Security Lockout add $59 (call to see if availible for your car.)

So all in all best bet is check the APR tour schedual and try to catch them at a local show. There you can score a deal for more than one program for a low price lookie here
