Default all those that you list are better than giac

Mtm is very good but a little low on power, wett is very low on power, I have heard very good things about Dahlback but I have no personal experience with it and it is very expensive. Revo does have software that is "beta" but it is only "beta" because it is not publicly released but they will sell it to you.

Default its not sh!tty all together, it just does not work great on anything but a stock car

It will be faster because since its surging your average boost is not that high.

Default I agree with you that GIAC is spiky. APR is smoother, but it does not feel the power (torque)....

is there

Default Thats giac selling point, people think it fast because it feels fast

on the dyno giac makes power 150rpm sooner with a big spike, your 35-85mph times will not be faster, even if they feel faster.

Default Re: all those that you list are better than giac

so what should i do since apr doesnt have a ko4 program.......my buddy said he will take care of everything and will chage me 625 max and no labor or anything and he will make it run nice.....he has a 2001 jetta and dropped a big *** turbo in it and his is tiptronic....and he tunned it himself and it runs nice and he hasnt blown it yet
....so thats why i think he would be fine he knows his audi/vw.....and said that he will be able to throw me back in the seat because right now im not and i would love for someone in the are(pennysylvania) to come drive this and feel what i feel.......help me out....

Default that could be, I only know for sure they have it for 01s

Default A KO4 won't throw you back in the seat, what you're feeling is the lag from his big turbo.

There isn't much lag with a KO4, you might get pushed back but if you want to get "thrown" you'll need a bigger turbo.
