keeping mods from your wife is an age old trick...

I have only heard good things about the GIAC tune so far. Not a power monster but I heard it's a solid tuneDude, you need a slush fund seperate bank account that you squirrel away 20 bucks here and there.

I've had the GIAC tune for 7000 miles and it is a solid tune with no drivability issues or any problems for that matter. One thing like GoTime mention the tune is conservative and not as powerful as their competitors. I was told back in October that they were working on a revision but that has yet to be released. Hopefully stage 2 will be something special.

Nothing wrong with a conservative tune which I am sure is still night and day from stock.. especially as the resilience of the MK7 to more aggressive tuning parameters is still shaking out as we're all seeing.. As with the other options available at this point, the lack of a tune at home option took GIAC out of the running despite AWE being relatively close to me and a GIAC dealer.. Time is so limited that I just can't stomach being dependent on getting to a dealer for any updates, upgrades or removal of aftermarket tune.. That factor absolutely dictated my decision on the tuning company with which I went..

Yea I totally agree with you. Unfortunately that option wasn't available when I got my car tuned. I even contemplated switching but it would be stupid to throw $500 out of the window.

The all powerful mod itch.. it is an incredibly severe, incurable and relentless compulsion - haha. If I had purchased my GTI a while back I'd be right there with you.. ha.
I tried to tell myself to take a deep breath and hold off to see how unitronic's setup with the home tuning capability performs when it becomes available before diving in to aftermarket tunes... but the willpower to hold off lasted about 9 minutes before I was back on the Eurodyne thread and pouncing on Nik's group buy discount yesterday.. haha..

This ^. Just get a full turboback exhaust and when she asks why its so loud just say it's an exhaust leak. #OneDivorceLater
I went to CarsNV on Valley View. They were awesome and the tune is freaking incredible.
Just a quick update...
Initial impressions of the tune are great. This sucker REALLY moves now. The gains are not as high as others advertise but there is definitely a huge difference. I would like to see the APR tune though still. My buddy just bought an Infiniti Q60 (2DR MT) and after the tune he is looking at a GTI or R lol.

I beat a G37 when I was stock so I am not surprised.
