Any issues going from M-box to an H-box? Will it be easy to sell it again?

You should have no issues whatsoever- Used stock boxes sell pretty easyily too. Beautiful car BTW.

Default Selling my ecu because I want to get somehting more aggressive than APR
I had GIAC in my previous S4 and am disapointed with the performance. My tip with GIAC stage 1 felt faster than APR 2+ in this car...weird...

Did you ever actually measure the performance (FATS, dyno, etc)? Butt dyno is unreliable.

Default I wish I did but sold it, maybe its not much faster but it felt faster (maybe just torque?)
SO maybe its a waste of time? Thinking of going EPL
