Default Yes. WETT 1.0Bar
Got it a long time ago so maybe the newer APR and GIAC chips have an edge over it

How is it? Too much torque to front wheels?

Heh....just checking. Thinking about getting GIAC but also thinking I should wait cause I might sell the car in a few years and get a quattro. Stupid me...shoulda waited for the quattro to begin with.

Default I have FWD with Wett 1.0 bar....
not too much torque at all. If you are worried about torque steer.... don't. It is very controlled and very smooth when accellerating hard. No torque steer at all. It feels fine. Also, I don't spin my wheels either... of course, that's partially cuz I don't drop the hammer off the line either... I sorta ease into it off the line to keep the tires gripped to the ASSfault.
