Default Common response here is to go with the most convenient reseller near you.

I have APR. Love it, no problems.

But I'd have no hesitation to go AWE if they were closer.

Default munchos are totally underrated in this conversation.

maybe because they call themselves "crisps"

Default couple things

i was lookin at some various dyno plots of both and found the torque curve for APR was stronger in the low end, where as GIAC/AWE program was more of a topend. for me i would MUCH rather have a little more oomph around town. this has to be taken with a grain of salt due to the extreme variables btwn dynos/cars etc. but that's just what i saw. if you give me more time i've been planning on doing some comparative data-logging from when my car was stock.

also, the chip-switching for APR is really convenient. just uses the cruise control stalk and has a lockout w/ code to prevent people from screwing with it. i think AWE you have to plug something into the OBD2 port, it's not as integrated. happy with APR so far, but wouldn't hesitate to get either.
