Default Chipping

Is the APR chip better than my Neuspeed P-chip.....I know about the cool on and off feature through the cruise controll. Other than that is there a power or performance differance???

www.goapr.com i think APR would be a better chip, cause you can get free upgrades (i think during like shows) V-Tune, just do a search

Neuspeed chips not so good. They only push a few more psi and have no adjustibilty.
GIAC,ARP,REVO all have programs to suit your needs and are fully adjustible,
Each one has it's own programible soft ware. APR however needs V-tune(cost 60+instalation so it's good to get it when you get the initial chip when doing APR)
GIAC has mobile tuner. Not to familiar with it becayse people that have GIAC do not use it but can if they wanted to. REVO uses lemewinks. Lemewinks can also alter all other chips and stock cars programs. Just won't work with APR when trying to raise boost but all controls are still functional. What APR guys do is just add a EBC or MBC to make up for the lost control.

Well when all is said and done. They all are about the same except neuspeed is realy slow compared to the others. A few Hp more they may differ.
I get 195 hp and 220 toruqe at the wheels. I have no TB exhaust jut the stock. N75j at time of dyno on crap 93 oct gas. My buddy gets like 201 with 245 with his 2.5 dp and 2.5 cat back. Very similar to GIAC's X program is the 93 apr. But the good thing is if you do not have 93 oct in your area then the GIAC X+ is what you want same performance of the APR 93 but you can use 91
Research is the key. I got the APR because I only paid 250 for it and I have 93 all over pa. Best deal for me.

You'll be happy with Revo, GIAC, or APR, a complaint is rarely heard about any of them. I'm getting the GIAC X chip soon...supposed to put out some good numbers.
