Default Engine Chip Reviews

I was wondering if anyone has chipped their cars and would liek to post about their experience. I'd like this to be an informative post more than anything. If you've got it done:

- Where did you get it done?
- How was your experience with the company doing the tuning?
- What product did you go with?
- How does the car feel after you've driven it for a while?

Default Giac.....amazing

I've had my A4 1.8L quattro for just over a month. I had it chipped by Kompressor Kanada. Great guys to deal with. Off the lot it was ok... kinda sluggish. After the GIAC reflash the car is much faster and it likes to pull in every gear. Very satisfied!!!

It's hard to say because I had so much work done at the same time, but the experience was great!! APR has great customer service and have helped me all the way. As a matter of fact, when one of the developers came up with a new program, they reflashed my ecu for free. It was a wild program designed for the 2000 A4 with their stage III kit. So to sum it up, my experience with APR has been wonderful!! Go APR!!

Daily Driver B5 S4 solder in chipped with APR by Tom at H2Sport. Purchased during Waterfest sale and $aved. Both APR and H2Sport are great companies, very smooth, solder in supports flip switch while driving. Currently running Stage 2+ APR file on upgraded K04 Turbo's so may go GIAC with MBC to get to next level as APR doesn't like 2.7T MBC's. GIAC is also easier to tweak with Lemmiwinks.

I ended up going with GIAC as the shop that did it is right near my house. The performance is great and so far absolutely no problems.
