    Sounds about right... As long as boost starts to taper as you climb closer to redline..

    The chip is suppose to spike at 17.5 and hold 14-15 to redline i believe but i know in cold weather it defently spikes to 20 and is still around 14-15 to redline.

    i guess you'll have to see a graph to really tell, the boost might be the same as the APR but i believe the GIAC is still more aggressive. someone correct me if i'm wrong

    yeh if the spike and the hold are 18 and holds 15, seems the same as my apr!

    so what makes the GIAC-X better? i thought it was more boost!!

    if there is no difference i might save the money for a GIAC-X, and put it toward APR downpipes or techtoniks..

    i also hear good things about the JHM SOFTWARE!
