I have Racechip Ultimate which is the predecessor to the GTS.
The GTS received a processor upgrade as well as additional monitoring channels. The software is completely different as well. Power wise you'll be pretty much the exact same as the Ultimate but it is going to be a much more refined tune and smoothness of operation will be improved.
the GTS has an optional app to change on the fly or the manual adjuster is on the outside of the case. In the Ultimate you have to open the case and adjust directly on the board.
I have done multiple logs on the factory setting and +1 setting on my Ultimate. Overall it's a very good tuning box. On the +1 setting you can feel the changeover where the ultimate takes over fully. I am not sure this is corrected or not on the GTS. It should be due to the software and hardware upgrades. On the factory Ultimate setting it's essentially seamless just with more power.
A couple things to note. Racechip USA no longer has a business relationship with Racechip. So you will need to order from Europe. I emailed racechip europe a handful of times and they responded extremely fast. I also asked to purchase a spare orange gasket that seals the two Ultimate halves together and they shipped me a new one at no charge. Even though I did not purchase it new and the original purchase was from Racechil USA. Their customer service is top notch.

Also know that the App does not work with the F56. Per my conversation w Powerchip.
"Unfortunately the Bluetooth App control is not available for your vehicle. Our Bluetooth chip requires a specific signal type in order to communicate. Your engine uses a signal type that is NOT compatible with our App feature. If it were available, there would be an option to add the App control for an additional $50 charge at checkout. I do apologize for the inconvenience."
