TCU Programing on a Tip

I'm debating between going with evomsit or Giac software for my car, and I was wondering if the TCU programing is worth it? They claim faster shifts, but will I really feel the difference or I should just invest my money on something else...

Thanks

To be perfectly honest I would say that you don't really need the TCU software unless you have upgraded turbos or a higher HP package on the car. We have a few different variations of the GIAC TCU software that we developed with them. Each one has slightly different shifting characteristics, but to be honest, they're most noticeable on "built" cars. Depending on what other mods the car has, I'd divert the mod money to something else

I've got a shelf full of turbos that we just completed upgrading to Billets...all waiting for new homes.
