Default GIAC chip installed

01 1.8t Avant - just needed a bit more oomph and I have to say I like it. The chip I had in the car made more power than stock but I never really used the program switching feature since I had a spare ECU and this chip is a bit more aggressive; suits me better!

Note shameless link to classified for my old chip...<ul><li><a href="http://24.176.8.17/audiworld/market/listing.asp?ID=14808">my old chip</a></li></ul>

Will your old ECU work in an 2001.5 A4 1.8T sedan?

Default Your findings are pretty much the norm around here

and now it appears GIAC has switchable programs! Good luck selling your old chip.

Default yep, where have you been?

it is no secret that GIAC 1 bar chips make more power than APR 1 bar chips. Even APR admitted that they do not make the most power because they they feel that are at the "safe limits" which is about 10 hp/15 ft short.

Default I won't disagree with your points of fact, but are you now saying...

That giac makes 215hp (<2001MY)? Thats not what Lucas in the Performance forum noted at the Dyno Day...

Since you seem to know much about the new giac chip, fill us in. Will it be undetectable too?

You game?
