    No arguments from me. We are all here to sell our wares and make great cars even better! APR do not do "flashes" for the mk4s apart from the R32. It is a ECU removal and chip replacement.
    Each chip company has its own merits.

    Is that not ECU dependant? You can get flashes for mk4 GTIs in the UK. My mate runs one in the UK and it's a pretty early one at that.

    @ GeorgeM when you say 'tune' exactly what are you after, a one time job or the ability to change the software yourself?

    That'll cost you mate. What experience do you have of this sort of thing?
    The best way would be to go for standalone management that has it's own software package.
    For example qpengineering in the UK do a plug and play loom with DTA management, you can get the software to modify that yourself.
    Do you have plans to go through a series of modifications over time and improve the software as you go.

    I've seen enough Unichip upgrades on Golf4 GTI to know that hanging dog poo on the rearvision mirror gives better power and driveability.

    I had a UniChip piggy back ECU on my Mk4 GTI, which enables some customisation for the vehicle by the guys fitting the chip. While it gave the desired effect of giving the car more power, it wasn't as seamless as I would have liked and I regretted not going with GIAC/Oetteinger/whoever...
