Doesn't matter. All the files are downloaded from GIAC head office!

I have my 2002 A4 1.8TQ chipped by Chris Tapp in Ottawa: the car is performing great!

OWASCO on the other hand have done nothing but take money from me and blame the chipping for a "Clean Air" code (P0411) and their inability to diagnose the car: they have screwed me around while I still head the warranty, but after that they managed to fix the problem fro money!

There is a communication problem reported by VAS and they are still claiming that it is a chipping issue!

I asked them to flash the ECU to factory specs and determine wether it is an ECU problem or a programming problem... more double-talk and nothing was done.

But they gave me $50 off on the last $700 invoice for the repairs missed under warranty!

I AM NOT GOING BACK TO THEM!

Thats for 1 program, you usually want 2 or more, such as stock 91octane and 93 octane

For a comparison of the software reflashes on a B7 A4 check this out:

APR vs GIAC vs REVO software comparison with datalogs and dyno charts - Audizine

It does tend to point to the APR as the best one out there. However, a local company in Ottawa (Tapp auto) is claiming even more power (Not sure if their dyno pull was with 91 octane or 93):

I just bought my second Audi from Pfaff and they claim they will stand behind the warranty if there is a chip in the car (a chip that they are putting in my 09 A4). I do not know much about these chips, but I would like the car to be a little faster so I have asked for a sprint booster and chip put in...
