[BiturboS4] Anyone have Abt chip?

[Michael Kuriger]

maybe a better question would be which chip is better for a S4 with
upgraded turbos?  I don't really care if I blow the stock turbos since I
want to replace them someday anyhow.  I also want to make the most power
out of 93 gas but have the option to run 100 (and not have to wait for
it to adapt)
