GIAC Flashloader for us??
Anybody know if GIAC is working on any Flashloader applications for our cars? I see they have worked out almost all the VW/Audi models so far, but since its VAG based, I didn't know if they were playing with Porsche as well... sure would be nice:

I asked the question on an earlier thread
http://www.revotechnik.com/
This company has a flash loader and plug-in modules for different applications. Check out the link above, I am seriously considering it since I won't solder my ECU! - No Way

Coming real soon through a GIAC dealer. We already have been doing various Audis and Vee Dubs. I just did an R32 last week. Neat cars BTW.
FWIW delsoldering the ECU by someone that knows what they are doing is not a big deal.

It is available now! My mechanic installed one on a tt and got an additional 80hp to the wheels with no other mods. I am tempted to install one on my GT2 or wait for the GIAC version. I like the optional plug-in modules of the Revo setup though.
The GT2 would be sick with an additional 80+ hp (it's already sick)

The GIAC flashloader hardware is a small handheld device that plugs into the OBDii port. It holds a couple of different programs. You plug it in, pick the program you want. (stock, race, 93 oct, valet, etc...) and flash the ecu ROM. done...when you want to change back or to another you flash it again. as much as you want until you wear the chip out which should take quite some time...
so essentially its like IBE but the hardware is external and nothing is soldered or addedto the ecu board at all. it all remains stock.
its available for Audi/VW but not P-cars yet. but its close...
