I would like to sell my giac flashed ecu for an a4 b5 1.8t. I am located in southern California in the Sam fernando valley. Please pm for further questions.

This is the bar code my ecu shows. I would like to sell for 200.<br/><br/>

Is this for aeb? And what's the hp gain? Any mods I would need?

Further questions should be addressed here; otherwise you will answer the same question(s) over & over.

You'd need engine code, year of the car, and maybe a link to GIAC's page showing what else it fits.

I bought one secondhand : my experience with 100k miles on my GIAC chip (98 Passat AEB1.8t, 5M), no further mods except a Forge DV : Hell yes! Best $400 I ever spent.(This was when the chip alone was $600, and mine came with the ECU worth $400 back then)
I was expecting some kind of labelling with "GIAC" but it was unmarked. I called GIAC and they asked if I'd ship it to them (or maybe their nearest distributor, AWE, I forgot) as they actively pursue & prosecute counterfeits. I printed their shipping label and sent it next day air (at their expense). They sent it back the day they got it and said it was genuine. Amazing service. Sent Monday night, had it back Wednesday 9 A.M. . No charge and they even threw in a couple stickers.
The car went from a 7-PSI wimp to a 22-PSI monster in the hour it took to install. I understand the Audi AEB is rumored to be less "De-tuned" than the VW so YMMV.
It actually gets better highway MPG, and the WORST MPG I've gotten was 18 one day when I flogged the hell out of it from every light (there are 14 on each way to drop kids at school, so 28 plus traffic in 24 miles) . Usually get 26 and I almost never get out-accelerated from a light. It's like a totally different car!
No reliability issues, just use vw spec 0w-30 or 5w-40 or what your newest postcard from VW says (they sent me 3 new oil spec cards; I bought the car new) and let it cool down after lots of boost; if I dog it all the way home and up the long uphill driveway at night the turbo actually glows). Not dim, either. Best cool-down method is to take it easy for the last five minutes of your drive, and Iet it idle 30 sec every time before shutoff.

Believe it or not, I am in no way affiliated with AWE, GIAC, or the guy selling this. Just a dude with a grin on my face when I drive my "sleeper".

ps only problem is it eats front tires. quattro solves that I bet!

Thanks for the advice and the story, Tom.

This ecu came when I bought my 2000 audi a4 1.8t quattro, engine code: ATW. I tried it but I do not like how aggressive it is. Once you pass 2k rpm it acts like a Damn race car. I'm looking into Unitronics, instead.

Yes it is still available!

Is this for an automatic?

I have a manual, and my part # is 4B0 906 018P.

memogiyi

No, it's manual.
