Default I've had both chips in my '97.....
....had APR in the car for about 3,000 miles (friend loaned me his spare APR-chipped ECU)...this was the version 3 of their chip.

Running Garrett (version 30a) for quite some time now and I hav to say the power and smoothness has APR beat.

If you're in N. NJ...you're probably not too far from PES, which is a Garrett distributor. Or drive down to Philly and get chipped at AWE-Tuning.

Good point, if MTM doesn't know about 2001s by now...pass on them.

Do your research on Hoppen. They don't have a good reputation here at all.

What's wrong with MTM, besides perhaps being more conservative?

Uh, I said HOPPEN. MTM is great if you can afford it.
