Default Local Shops?

Any place local I can get my car chipped so I don't have any down time with mail order? I have a 1.8T

check out any or most of the porsche dealerships...suncoast down here in sota does GIAC too...but look into APR, their programs are pretty reliable and put down some decent numbers...

ok here it is...apr is decent but is a little tricky sometimes...bosst is there one minute then boost is gone the next, its a little tricky...and neuspeed is garbage, dont get their chip. come over and ask us on www.dubdojo.com they'll tell ya the same. stick with a giac or revo. fixx is ok with all their chip tuning, but take for instance me: im getting my giac from suncoast porsche down here in sarasota, heres the reason: they call giac on a DAILY basis and they do all their stuff on the spot, so if there was ANY problem, they fix it for you then and there. not trying to take anything from fixx, but suncoast is exclusive for the giac in-house and is a littl emore but ur a lot safer down the road...just my 2 cents...

I agree, having a big name standing next to GIAC really helps. I also have to give Jwelty some credit though. He's been in the VW enthusiast/tuning world before there even was a VW enthusiast/tuning scene. And at the top of it too. It's a shame he hasnt been running a shop the whole time. Plus, his specialty, in my opinion, has to be the 1.8t being that is what he drives and personally mods with a non off the shelf turbo kit. He's a very honest person. My finacee and I have done business and will continue to do business with him. So there is my "props to Welty" post. Take it how you want.

How is APR tricky? They are one of the most well know and reliable chips. As for boost disappearing, care to be a bit more specific. If your referring to surging, that depends on the car not the chip. You can find various cases from customers of all chip makers in regards to surging.

As for Suncoast talking to GIAC daily, and representive can do that. The reps request the software and GIAC(and most other manufacturers) email it to them. How is Suncoast exclusive to GIAC if FixxTuning also does their chips in-house?
