GAIC chip?

Probably
The GIAC chip, on the other hand, is very nice. If your car has existing issues, the chip may expose them, but for a well-maintained and smooth-running vehicle, it's a great mod.

I was being a ball buster, it's GIAC, not GAIC. You always risk damage with more boost
but it's not that great of a risk if you ask me. I've had my APR ECU for over 70k miles and the turbo is just about 150k old. No smoke or any signs of giving up.
