also try a search. The term ad nauseum doesn't even begin to describe how much these chips have been discussed.

a GIAC ECU takes your "D" ticket ride and turns it into an "E" ticket. Bump up the HP by up to 20%. I think someone on the board has an ECU upgrade for sale - check the classifieds.

You should call Mark at Hergesheimer Motorsports 949 458 7223. He has a program for the GT2 and TT that re-flashes your memory without having to dismantle / remove / solder your exsisting ECU. He just plugs his laptop into your data port, flashes the new program - that's it. Plus it comes with a control box that you can plug in yourself and select different programs (valet, 91 octane, 93, 100 or factory stock settings). My car not only runs stronger, but is smoother and seems to run better.
