I finally got my chip and i will say UNI is GREAT!!! I also had the oppurtunity to try revo first but uni is much better! It's amazing what a flash did to the car... Don't get me wrong its now 10 second car lol but the boost will put you in your seat and its a lot more fun to drive!!

agreed, and elliot idk if you already have one but if you don't, make sure you pick up an N75j valve, there the ones that come on the 225 edition audi.

Yeah, thats what I dont want to do. lol

Ive been reading around alot since I've got the car and Uni seems to best fit for me.

tdmopar59 · 03-31-2009, 04:35 PM

yup i researched and researched now i'm happy lol

KrautFed20V · 03-31-2009, 04:36 PM

I'm happy with APR, would have been happier with GIAC i think since AWE was basically around the corner for me.

Brazen06 · 03-31-2009, 04:38 PM

id love to see how some of the other tuners drive...ive only known APR since i got the GLI. I dont plan on ever changing but it'd be interesting to see how the drivability differs from one company to the next. My GTO was easy, just take it too a tuner (LSx motors have universal tuning software) and work out the drivability bugs on the road. I was never a fan of any mail order tune, most companies leave alot on the table in order to cover their own asses.

KrautFed20V · 03-31-2009, 04:43 PM

well i went to APTuning so it wasn't mail order for me but i wish i went somewhere closer for me. and they screwed me a couple times... so... yeah APR was great to deal with Keith actually gave me some upgrades free.... i just wish the place was closer that i went to for service.

Brazen06 · 03-31-2009, 04:48 PM

yea there doesnt seem to be any real specialists in my area at least...i wanna get the timing beld and water pump/pullies/tensioner done but no way am i paying a stealership to do it. Id really love to find a good VW tech to do it on the side or someone with experience and some tools to give me a hand...ok sorry to jack the thread i'll cross that bridge when i come to it...lol

Elliott18t · 03-31-2009, 04:49 PM
