GIAC
come someone give me some info on GIAC, ive heard theres like 3 versions (whats the best one to choose), went to their website and hate reading all that crap, i just want to know what the price ranges are and if people are pleased with it... im leaning towards GIAC over APR/REVO cause the dealer is closer

I have the GIAC hammer chip it cost $550 no additional install charge...
I love the chip... defiantly can feel the power, waiting for a cool day so I can get a dyno and see the gains... I am not sure about the other versions of the GIAC chip but the Hammer or X chip is the most agessive and I love it.

Does anyone with GIAC have a boost gauge? I'd like to hear the numbers they're getting.

Did the $550 include the flashloader with stock also?

its 150am and im planning on getting my GIAC done next week and i was just thinking.. if the dealer for some reason needs to reflash my comp will my GIAC get erased too? and if it does it would be 550 wasted or what happens? haha i sound paranoid now but hey $550 isnt something i come across everyday...

Make sure with your GIAC dealer but most will re-flash at no charge if the dealer nukes it... Just so you know if the dealer notices the chip he will probably nuke your VW warranty

50hp / 90lbs gains... we'll see, supposedly Jeff is out of the country? I'm waiting for him to get back, but for now I have the X-Chip and I love it, worth every penny

my unerstanding is you get chip upgrades for life... different programs for the loader are extra but if a new version of the chip you have comes out then its yours for free, but I have never put this to the test.

I think having to buy extra programs for different settings is a bunch of BS though... With Cobb Tuning for Subies you buy the $600 flash loader and then the programs are free to download. It's your choice to run the 91 octane, 93 octane, 93+ exhaust, turbo changes, ect.... Thats how it should be... If that were the case I'd buy GIAC tomorrow. |

Revo stage 1 is what it is... Revo stage 2 is what it is... You can't program Stg 1 to act like stage two. That's where the Subie set up is different... $600 once and if you change turbo's to a turbo they have a support program for, you download it for free, load it into the flash loader and then plug it into the car and select it. But yeah, Revo is nice. $500 for the flash + $325 for the SPS3, is a lil costly though... I wanna see GIAC's Flashloader options when they get it out.
