GIAC Tiptronic Chip

RE: GIAC Tiptronic Chip
I hate to sound like a broken record with this, but the tip-chip is a good upgrade. It does reduce the lag time between shifts -but the biggest thing you'll notice is that the shift-points have been moved up. The car also doesn't do as much gear-hunting when going up a hill, or when under any kind of load.
Poke around in the classifieds. They're rare, but you can find a used one. I was lucky enough to find a used one for $230

The chip has its benefits in both modes. As Leifer stated, the gear-hunting is only applicable to auto-mode. You will also see that the shift points are moved upwhen driving in auto-mode as well.
