Went with the GIAC Flash

Hey guys,

I had been back and forth between the GIAC flash and the Upsolute. Dan at Vivid was awesome to talk to yesterday......and then convenience took over. I had the car at Brandywine Porsche to have the short shifter done, and I had the GIAC flash done while it was there. All I can say is Holy ****!!!!!! Its an amazing difference. I can't compare GIAC with Upsolute, but my car drives totally different. I saw 1.0 bar with no problem in 3rd gear, and it just pulls and pulls. With the short shifter and the flash done today, I did't even want to park the car tonight.

Thanks to all for their input on the shifter and the flash.....this site is great.

Good stuff Kevin.. the SSK makes a huge different in terms of feel/driveability. I hate the stock shifter mechanism. On the flash you are right, 1bar and a LOT more power Welcome to the club of modaholics!

Congrats, got mine flashed few months ago as well. Feels like a new car. I went with GIAC because of the flash loader.

I went with it becasue of the non warranty issue/ I just felt that if there was a problem, becuase the dealer installed it, I would still be covered. If I went with another brand, they could blame anything that went wrong with the car on it.

Oh oh.. you got sucked in didn't you Well with the exhaust and flash you're going to have some really good power gains not to mention less lag. See you shortly!
