For b5 1.8T APR is the best hands down. H2Sports in george town. Awesome guys and great prices. APR has the best power curve and reliability in compare to giac and others, from what i have heard. ANd on the dyno APR seems to preform better then other chips.

meh from what i reember the power curve was better in in live test someone posted on dyno APR was the best from uni and giac. And for b5 platform APR is still the best. h2sport is amazing, the guys give you alot of helpfull advice. I wish they were also a regular shop that does basic repairs i would drive there everytime

And wow ottawa!!!! These guys really do rock!!!

So you sold me on the APR chip and I'm going to contact that shop asap ... , I've got 160,000 kms on my car now.. Will this reduce the cars life?

The fact that I have family and friends living in "the centre of the universe" and H2Sport was the closest APR dealer may have had an impact on the decision to travel there.

For the record I have also serviced my cars at Independant Tuning
