i was thinking about getting the giac software on my computer for my 2001 a4 1.8t. i just wanted to know aliitle bit about it if you do have it also.

 

oh bro about 80% (not sure of that number) of the people here have the GIAC software and everones gonna tell you to search... search you will find all the answers you need... there are many many posts about GIAC/APR chips...........

 

great chip.
smooth power and torque.
you'll dig it the most

 

I would say 80 but definetly majority of people have GIAC here. APR is another good name, Revo and Unitronics are also present but mostly for big turbos. Do a search you will find more information than you will know what to do with. =)

 

Revo does not have a program for the 2001 stock turbo.

GIAC's K03 program is great! Smooth as stock, but will throw you back in your seat.


The K04 program is awesome, but for the 2001, you need much more than just the program. You need TT225 380cc injectors (or clones), a TT225 MAF, a freer flowing exhaust, and a FMIC (at least when it's hot out).

 

I know i was just listing other popular chip makers on these boards =) Definetly research everything throughly. I have had both APR and GIAC and would suggest either. If you ever even remotely in the back of your head plan on upgrading your turbo go with GIAC. APR has poor support for bigger turbos which is the only reason I switch to GIAC.
