i thought ECU upgrades gave more umph

[addicted2thevr6]

It says the APR upgrade gives around 209 which is quite a gain, but i thought it was more. do REVO and GIAC get more or am i dumb?

look (http://www.goapr.com/VW/products/ecu_upgrade_golf18t.html)

a 30HP gain is pretty good, but then look you're getting a 70 lb-ft torque gain ... I'd say that's some umph ...

[Damon]

30HP an 70TQ is a helluva lot of umph!

[PhätTony]

yeah thats a whole lot for a bargain. I'd be lucky if I could get 10hp with a chip for my car for 500 georgies

BTW ...

Revo: 207hp and 232 ft-lbs
GIAC: 205-210hp and ~220 ft-lbs

looks like APR is the way to go haha. and yea i agree those gains are real good, but for some reason i had it in my head that it was more. thats all. thanks guys

i heard revo is cool cuz the CEL doesnt come on when u have a downpipe
someone correct me if im wrong

[paultakeda]

You're wrong.

:p

I have to keep RPMs above 2500 and incur a sub-20 mpg mileage due to city-driving to prevent a CEL.

Now if APR can hurry up and get the trial to work on my GLI.
