An NVD member can get Revo'd for around $650. That's not a big cost difference.

In my opinion it takes a lot of money to justify buying grossly inferior products.

You bought a $30,000 car, don't put wal-mart parts on it.

Since the question has been posed, what's the diff. between Revo, Upsolute and APR? Biggest bang for buck? Most performance?

REVO has the SPS system which you can manually adjust timing/boost for your car. the folks at REVO are ex-APR employee's so the code is very similar.

APR has the lemmiwinks system which you can manually do the same.

upsolute you can get yourself a custom file through Simon locally.

APR uses V-Tune. I think Lemmiwinks was actually Revo? But it works on all chips as far as I know.

Obviously nobody agrees since this comes up over and over again, but chips have been around for years and years, they are not magic. Its a well established idea and all these companies do is market it. Changing fueling, timing and boost maps by definition cannot be radically different or your car wouldn't run. All of the companies just "bump up" these parameters since they are conservative from the factory.

Re: p-chip over revo??

revo uses SPS modules and lemmiwinks but they scraped it however it got leaked and it works on any ECU setup
arp has vtune (windows software) works like a charm
upsolute has simon's time to custom it for you

Re: p-chip over revo??

The thing is that i dont have anyone in town that dose Veedubs its all honda here the closest place is about 4 hours away and they revo. they say they will do it for 470 usd i can send my ecu in and get the pchip for 299 or so. all i want is the best for the money. the only thing with revo that i like is that i can get the sps with it but thats another 300 usd or so for the sps3

i guess my question is how much boost dose the stock revo chip do ?

Well the P-chip has a CARB number, so it's guaranteed that it's not nearly as aggressive as the others. I gained 22 HP and 68 ft-lb's from getting Revo'd.
