Default My GIAC upgrade....(a little long)

All,

Just wanted to share my pleasant experience with AWE last friday and the GIAC upgrade that was performed on my 225Qc. In a word "awesome"! I know many of you have written about your personal experiences, but I really believe that a(and most likely most of the quality manufacturers recommended here) chip makes this car a "real" performer. Do not get me wrong, the 225 is not slow, but for $500 bucks you get a car that;

- runs much smoother
- turns into a torque MONSTER!
- throttle response is instant
- turbo lag is almost non-existent

AWE had me in and out in an hour (thanks Mike!) and answered all of my novice based questions. If there is one thing you do to your TT, this is it, bar none (IMHO).

Thanks to the TT forum folks here for all of testing and honesty on products. Most if not all, have been of the utmost quality.

Default Love my Garrett chip

but wait a few weeks, and you will get used to it, think your car is under performing and want to add another mod.

It's like a drug.

But then you realize all those car around you are not accelerating slowly, you are just much faster than they are!

Enjoy!
