Default Only APR needs that much time to do it. You only need a short time on a dyno to make a chip.

And REVO's full line is not out yet. They just work HARD. Like APR probably did when they were the new guys on the block.

Default Recycle...

Seems the same old arguments keep getting recycled, so I'll recycle a couple responses:

- REVO kicks *** because it's APR software. Yet REVO cars drive differently and dyno differently then APR. APR supporters can't have their cake and eat it too. Either REVO stole APR software (and therefore the cars behave identically), or they developed their own (which makes the cars behave differently).

- REVO has developed other software programs for other cars in a very short amount of time (like diesels and the upcoming WRX & EVO software). I suppose they stole this from APR? Wait, APR doesn't have WRX. I can't wait for Vishnu Tuning to sue REVO for copying their WRX software.

- REVO has their SPS units. Did these also come from APR?

- REVO licensed a major part of their system from another company. I really wonder what APR could do/say about that.

We have to wait for the courts to settle this. Just because APR makes accusations and posts up their side doesn't mean they're right. And just because something is written down on filed papers doesn't mean it's 100% true or that it's the whole story.

Default It's funny when people have about 10% of the story.......

and i'm not taking sides here but really - you have no clue. APR didn't release their stuff early because quite frankly it's WAY more complicated. Did you know their serial program stuff doesn't reside in the ECU?

Default I can't see em going to all the trouble they have tofight this in 2 countries if they expect to lose

and TBH, APR have said nothing ....just posted public record info right now...

That being said...Revotechnic hasnt countered anything on a forum anywhere that folks may have posted...Makes ya think...

Granted, time in a courtroom will decide who did what and who was right/wrong...

And at that I'll shut my trap...

Companies litigate to put competitors out of business. APR is the 800 pound gorilla in this case.

Default I bought it...

With limited time to play around - so far, so good. I especially like the ability to turn it off. I got 30+ mpg going to TTE, and got 31+ mpg coming back. Not many out there getting that kind of mileage on either their 225, or chipped cars. Plus, I can regulate the timing and boost and play with it for power, or economy.

I was running it in the performance mode between TTE and Buffalo on I-90... and I could really feel the difference when I put my foot down doing 70 mph.

Real world stuff that I can feel in the seat of my pants. At this time, I'm a happy camper. And David and Pat are still sending me data to play with.
