Default GIAC Chip = +4 MPG (Sweet!!!)

Still haven't been able to VAG the car to figure out why it is occasionally going into limp mode when I'm driving it hard BUT drove approx 600 miles this weekend from MA to PA and back.

Getting some of the best mileage ever thanks to the GIAC chip! This chip will pay for itself

Default Is this a DIY mod?

I want to install a chip, can I do it myself? Where do I buy?

Default Could be - but I suggest finding a local tuner who you can work with

As you may need to diagnose boost-related issues such as vac hoses, MAF, DV, N75, etc. as the chip will create more boost than stock and this may expose some components that are worn and cannot handle the higher levels.
