APR vs GIAC vs Revo - Need opinion

[firdausasri]

Guys,

May I know what's your opinion on this? What're the good & bad points for each of them? How much tuning points they've got? Just that GIAC and Revo ones have controller to select few mappings to choose from compared to APR. Pricing wise in here more or less the same.

Aside this, I have piggybag from Trust E-Manage blue from my previous ride. Can this be plugged-in to Polo?

Ws just searching through the forum on info so I could decide, if you don't get payed out for not using the search function it would be great to see what people will say

From what i can gather,

APR with switch installed and comes with 2 profiles, has more torque than REVO less KW, cost $1590

Revo you have to buy the switch separately, has more KWs less torque than APR, costs $1200

GIAC haven't found much detail on, supposedly has the greater KW & Nm than both APR and REVO

Can I ask, have you looked into GIAC? Most people find it cheaper and it makes the same power

More power

I do not believe you will get an accurate and straightforward answer on this question here, but through from what I have read online as well as the personal experiences of other drivers it seems that GIAC is a good product.

But there are alternatives of course as you have already noticed, it really comes down to personal choice and what product best suits your needs. I suggest you first establish what qualities you want your car to have and then find the product which matches with them most appropriately.

not an expert on this, but i think you can pop into a dealer and get a trial flash installed, which runs for a few hours. why not try that and make yr own mind up?

You'd best contact the suppliers and get their free trials to do a comparison yourself. Chip wars errupt over this topic because everyone becomes very loyal to the brand that they use.

So ... contact suppliers ... I think they all give about a 5 - 6 engine-hour trial period, do you research and make up your own mind.

Cheers,
Dave

You're wasting your time. This thread will becoming a flaming match, or closed or both.

Apparently, some people are unable to give an objective opinion when it comes to chips. Which kinda sucks as it means anyone who's interested in getting a chip to suit their needs has to trial them all, or just pick the one they think has the better name.

I still don't get why chip discussion is so taboo. No one is going to care if someone says I think tyre X was a better fit for my needs tyre Y. But chips? It ends in tears.

Ask your question, Max. But ... be aware, no one can quantify one as being better than another without the trials.

I think all people are asking is opinions, pros and cons, other peoples experience with the whole process. No one is asking for the defenite best. I can see where max_croft is coming from, we very regularly critique our whole car and discuss the pros and cons of everything about it, why is it hard for us to talk about chips I don't know what the secret is yet but i'm hoping to try more than one and try to give an unbiased opinion while trying to minimise any variables. Or maybe ill pick one over the others and join the chip warrrrsssss heheheh
