My research said they are all good, so go with the one that has the best distributor who backs up his work and is a real pro.
I chose APR simply because you could switch programs without any external devices, and could reset it to factory before bringing the car in for service. Not looking for any warranty issues, or to be told that I did something that would void my warranty. Turbo's are expensive to replace.
On that note, I will say the APR upgrade is fabulous. I have read great things about Revo, but chose APR as they acted more professionaly in my home town.

Good luck

Yep - it was the reviews, the lower cost and the local shop that made my decision for me...

and, I too, have fun with it every day !

So hard to decided

I just got the APR upgrade. Stage 1 gave me 40 ish hp and a bunch of torque. Really perked the car up while keeping it very driveable. If I ever decide to put 100 octane into it, the map for that would tack on an additional 30 hp.

The sale ends Saturday, April 21st. Great HP for the money.
