I just had my GIAC Flash yesterday. At first I didn't notice such a big change but after a while I guess the ECU got "used" to the new flash and started to really pull hard, I mean HARD! Wheel spin is a problem at first, but I know how to control it now.. After getting flashed and driving off the shop I was holding 13-14lbs, now I'm holding a good 16-18lbs easy... FTW! I didn't think it would make this much of a difference? This car is too fast now, I'm going to get that stock program back....

Good to hear. I am looking at GIAC for my MINI and am deciding between it and Revo for our GTI.

Vivid · 06-20-2006, 08:18 PM

I had the same experience... at first I was thinking it was not all that but after a few drives over a couple of days I became very impressed... Love the GIAC X chip... Itchin to do the TB now

Deezz_Nuttz · 06-20-2006, 08:35 PM

What TB are you going with? I'm thinking of the AWE one whenever it comes out.. if they lag too much I'll just get the GHL

jaydubz · 06-20-2006, 08:38 PM

any problems with black soot from the exhaust?

It's nice. There is no droning and it sounds good when you get on it.

I used to have a mini by and chance would you be looking for any after market parts ??

frank2287 · 06-21-2006, 12:39 AM

my friend got the revo chip and i dunno maybe its just me but its not as fast as every1 makes it out to be.
I would have it in 2nd gear and i would think it would spin but it doest even break loose i dunno is that normal for chiped cars or no?

allx11 · 06-21-2006, 02:17 AM

How much are you guy's paying for the GIAC flash??

I did have a brief moment right after the flash, where I hardly noticed a difference. But after a bit of driving the new program really kicked in.
