    Re: GIAC or APR

    A friend of mine has a S4, also tip, and has Giac reflash and Giac tranny chip... The tranny chip made a good diffrence! So maybe you can go with giac to have both chips/reflash the same if you ever do the tranny one...

    Congrat man S4 are great huh! Go with the GIAC for smooth and raw power with a crispy shift! You going to need to get a upgraded DV and TBB because that going to tear. Enjoy the power!

    P.S. you also going to need to 6k in hand when your turbo goes out because it will and end up making a post like mine…. Read my post with the unhappy face!

    Go wih AMS/ABT. This is the only chip which keeps the torque under the spec limit of the tranny. Very smooth and linear powerband.
