Default Question about upgrading the turbo....

By having an APR chip, Would I be limited to the turbo upgrades that I could do? Would I have to get a complete Stage III upgrade, or would I be able to do something like AWE offers?
I would like to upgrade to a K04, so would that mean that I would have to go with GIAC chip?
Any recommendations and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Default heres what you could do

either chip you go with (both are great chips) you can get a chipped ecu. this way you can go back to stock when you need or want to. and you can sell the chipped ecu when you want the k04 for a few hundred bucks. or trade with somebody for their stock ecu if you just get your ecu chipped. either way, you arent limited in which wa you go
