APR vs GIAC vs Revo - Need opinion

[taylor]

id like to see if anybody could really tell the difference between them all, they are only minor but the feeling in your pants will still be the same. you'l be more than happy with what ever brand you use.

[Timbo]

If you look at dyno charts associated with the various flash tunes, you can discern some differences in power curves.

[taylor]

problem with dynos are they are all different and show a wide variety of power diferences.
but im more talking about when your driving the car, it would be really hard to tell the difference between a few kw's and a bit of tourqe.

What Timbo is saying is how the curve goes, we all know they acheive similar power and torque at peak, but from memory REVO dumps torque on early and APR goes nice and smooth, so depending on your driving style and the rest of your car set up, 1 might suit you better.

where did you get that price from??

From a search in this forum... is it way off? supposedly it's only for the flash no switch.

Revo chip flash is $1200. Waiting price for their "Select" thingy which allows to switch between programs.

Is this true?

Unfortunately, Revo have phased out there SPS switches and you can no longer purchase this brand new. Their new Select switches only works with 2.0 FSI engine types. It goes for $399 ex

They had a VW National special the other week, offering free Select switches for each flash purchased at the show directly.

As for thinking you'll get an unbiased report ... Well ... that's a pretty naive expectation.

I can only find $1499 with the switch costing $399 or $499.

Seems I've to pop to the shop again for free trial (if it's possible in here). What I need is more towards smooth power delivery and and extended powerband rather than outright peak power. Those of you had chipped, posssible to share dyno chart? That would be great to see if there's anything being sacrificed at the low-end revs.

With chipping and sprint booster, it'll be sleeper shopping trolley at night hahaha
