Komp - Maybe Jwelty can load that chip on for a trial or whatever. To test it out and see if you like it? Who knows.

I dont know if they do trials.. I think thats a REVO thing.... honestly if you want to make the power, and dont mind band aiding the problem the older GIAC code, with a MBC in parrallel is the way to go, it RIPS on 100 octane. if you want no headaches, and switch chip on the fly APR.. there race gas program is suppose to be good as well, but I havent had a chance to run it yet.

Sweet! This is exactly the info I've been looking for. I am FAR more concerned with reliability than I am with performance. If the APR chip is going to be a simple mod then I think that's the route I want to go. I'm not that interested in tracking my car and making it a race car. It's my daily driver and I want to make sure it stays that way.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get all these chips done? I don't want to spend an extra $500-$600 for a spare ECU to send out to APR for programming and I can't really go without my car for 3-4 days. Is there some place local that will do the APR chip?

Eurotech in Palm Harbor? I used to live behind that place and heard good things about them, but never tried them. Any ideas on their quality of work? I'm eventually going to need a shop that I can rely on to give me good work at a good price for the turbo swap and possibly timing belt/snub mount (I really don't want to try and tackle this one myself)

What about calling up APR to find out how to get in touch with their Tampa rep? If this guy Scott knows his shit I'll track his ass down. Easier than drive to BFE Sarasota

Hence the allegedly, since they are still listed on APR's site


Komp, Scott used to work at Eurotech on Osborne near the stadium.

"Ah, I see," said the blind man to his deaf friend...

Eurotech is bad news. Times like these I make my best attempt at keeping business from that place.

No skin off my nose, but who would you recomend to do the work? Timing belt/snub mount/water pump and eventually K04's.
