Default GIAC vs. APR chip
I am curious to know which chip is more effective and what chip produces the most problems once installed.

GIAC has more power, but with more power comes inherent risks.

Simply put: More power = more boost = faster turbo speed = faster turbo failure.

Very true indeed but does anyone have evidence of the GIAC chip causing more damage than the APR? Or is that a general opinin because they run at slightly different boost pressures.....
