Is it wise to chip a '98 1.8TQ w/56k miles on it? Besides APR and Neuspeed chips, anyone have any links to GIAC or any others? How do chips usually last?

Default Just Do It!
Chipping @ 56k miles = Chipping @ 5k miles.

I've been chipped for 50k miles . . . absolutely NO problems.

Check out www.pes-tuning.com or www.awe-tuning.com for GIAC chips.

You have had no problems? GIAC is the way to go? There are so many opinions on these chips it is hard to decide.

I won't recommend ONE chip over another, but I've had NO problems with my APR chip.
