Re: EU (Upsolute) chip

Well I am rocking Revo stage two with all the bolt ons with a 1.8T, clutch, Fmic, CAI, 4 bar FPR, DV, Turbo Back and so on. I have the SPS3 so I can go stock,preformance, play with boost and timing I have loved this program and had it whil under warreny and the stealership never noticed as long as it was on stock when I went in for warrenty crap. I have dynoed 210whp and I think the tq was 215 very happy with it. Like others have posted I think staying with a bigger company is best. Good luck and happy driving.
I vote Revo!

Re: EU (Upsolute) chip

I just personally put more faith in companies that had constantly revised their products and engineer multiple prodcuts for the same platform.
GIAC and APR are proven names in the S4 world... Upsolute unfortuantely is not. While Im sure its comparable... small mistakes have rather large consequences when dealing with ecu mapping..

i dunno about dynos geoff but from what people have told me and from experience.. i know jordan had giac x on his car before going stage3

Re: EU (Upsolute) chip

one thing to note the giac is more aggresive than my APR. they'll spike up to 18-19 and settle to 15-16 whereas my APR will spike 16 and stay 15.. its still plenty fast for me.. especially with the 93 octane program

What evidence/charts do you know of that shows more than a few hp difference between the big chip makers?

Re: EU (Upsolute) chip

APR or GIAC X is the way to go.... They are the most popular fora reason.

Because they take out the biggest adds in Eurotuner and PVW?

But like I said... check AW for a full chipped ECU! They can be had for cheap. <$500 if you look hard

Re: EU (Upsolute) chip

Does anyone have any dyno graphs for this chip? Wanted to check how the torque curves and such are.

Re: EU (Upsolute) chip

i have my 1.8t upsolute chipped, works good. but never really driven any other chipped cars so i have nothing else to compare it to.

Re: EU (Upsolute) chip

I have had a couple Upsolute chips from Simon at EU and always been very impressed, great value and great gains (50% on the Smart). His customer service is great and he does do port flashes now too and most chips are around $500 so can be very reasonable.

Re: EU (Upsolute) chip

If you want to save some cash on the whole thing... buy a used ECU that is already chipped. On AW they are going for around $500 usd which is a lot easier on the pocket book, plus you can return to stock at any time.
Just find out which box you have (says on your current ECU A, H, M etc and go from there!)
