A couple of chips I'm looking at:

APR
GIAC
AWE
ECS
X chip?

How about tunning/programming?

The chip costs $4K but it comes with free supercharger =D

I'd say the GIAC chip is the best out there, no one has had issues with them that I know of. It's supposed to be good for ~6-8HP and a nicer curve.

GIAC

- since APR doesn't have a chip for the 2.8 V6
-AWE sells GIAC chips
-ECS sells APR chips
-X.chip is a version of GIAC's chip for the turbo engines...no x.chip for the 2.8

don't spend much time thinking about this....if you want a chip for your V6, get the GIAC chip, its really your only choice.

it comes down to three companies really. GIAC, Wetterauer, or Neuspeed. I've got a GIAC because people pretty much told me to steer clear of Neuspeed since less people were using them and people were pleased with the GIAC. Haven't heard much about the Wetterauer, but I believe a few people here have them. Maybe one will chime in here. From what I recall hearing they seemed just as pleased as I was with my GIAC. So I would choose between those two personally, and since GIAC could be done locally that's what I did.

I've been very pleased...and as many here already know...I'd say so if I weren't: 'cough' milltek 'cough'

Seeing that I'm in toronto the giac chip seems to be the easiet to acquire. There are a couple of retailers that carry them in Ontario so I will probably go with that one. Thanks for the input boyz!!!
