Default Hands down.... BIG difference
I got my GIAC TipChip from a local tuner in Chicago, Dubwerks.com (same product as AWE's).

Default YAY! Thread #2 today on the TIP CHIP!!! >>>>>> DETAILS INSIDE SIR***<<<
yes, tip chip is worth the $250. Don't spend the $250 until you get the the GIAC chip to go along with it and get both of them done at the same time. Saves you time and money. Install of both, probably around 130 bucks or so for time and labor.

Worth every penny, driving a Tiptronic without the Tip Chip is like driving an Audi without Quattro.

BUY IT!

Default Chip One: (1) ((UNO)) is a "ENGINE" Chip. Chip Dos ((Two)) [2] is a "TRANSMISSION" chip...
Make sense now?
