I'm considering a software flash for my 2016 mk7 1.8t for more power.
I'm debating between 3 we'll know companies but I need some help with my decision.
1- unitronic
2- APR
3- Revotechnik
Please share your thoughts and opinions.

This is a debate I've been going through as well, however, GIAC would be third in the list for me. Don't know anything about Revotechnik to be frank.
Word on the street is (though it will inevitably happen AT SOME POINT), APR wears through clutches faster than other tunes (again - so I've heard).
Most of the wear comes through the increase in torque, primarily, which is significant in both APR and Unitronic. Funny - I was just looking at Unitronic yesterday.
Porsche guys use GIAC a lot so some VW owners in SoCal use them too. For the 2017 model year, though, there's a brand new ECU so they haven't yet developed the tune but should be out soon (so they've told me).
So...my advice is: how much gain do you want and how upset will you be with any potential wear, sooner than later....because it will occur. Just a matter of when.
Price wise they're all within $100 or so, so price is somewhat of a moot point.
Good luck, and keep us posted!
