just got my o7 gti, wondering about chiptuning? How much am I looking at, and what type of hp and torgue gains i'm gonna get.

OH and I paid $748.00 for 4 programs (91,93,100,stock) flipswitch, and anti-theft. I want Exhaust now bad.
:headbang:

(reliability/performance) are their perks to both> my chip will be a very soon modification, so just trying to get last impressions as these are the two I have moved too. Thanks guys

So GIAC pushes out more HP, but isn't as reliable as APR?
