Can anyone give advice re the above chips and how they perform on the S3? Iv'e had my car about 4 months now and although i'm more than happy with the performance i'm getting itchy to chip it!
What i'm mainly looking for is a nice torque figure/curve, they both appear to give similar power figures looking at the dynoplots on their respective web pages. What i like about the standard s3 is that the main boost is rises from early on low down in the rev band and then stays constant to about 5000rpm. This is what i want from my chip, the AMD torque curve rises quite agressivly and drops down fairly quickly (lot earlier than 5000rpm) where as the APR peaks at about 4500rpm. I don't want to be revving the ar*e off my car to get somewhere!
Can anyone comment who has had experience of these chips in their s3 and which one they belive would be the better one for a torque lover!!!
