GIAC Chips

[Fizz]

Ok Guys I've heard you and the Vortex guys raving about these chips. Unfortunately no one here in NZ knows about these. I found a local company that does these and are actually cheaper than the tuners we usually use here. I'm keen to give these guys a go and be a pioneer here in NZ but unfortunately i haven't driven a GIAC chipped car so don't know what's it like.

Do you guys have the flashloader/ multi-programs?
how does it work?
what programs are available?
What do you guys boost?
what's HP am i looking at getting with a stock K03 turbo? etc.

More info. i can get the better I'll take a drive out 2 these guys at some stage and have a chat and see what's it all about.
The main thing I'm worried about is the fact that these guys are the only GIAC dealer in NZ and i'm worried if they stuff up something there's no other support. Hopefully going out there and meeting them will ease some of these fears.

Thats the page that it has all the software apps you can do, something like that anyway. Theres a start hopefully the mk4 guys will be able to tell you more.

since we never get to the end of chip questions...maybe its about time to start and sticky a chip thread so noobs can find it instantly instead of asking the same questions week after week?

All chips for the Mk4s are solder in. Each manufacture has its merits. Whichever of the top ones you choose, you should be happy with.

from now on,all posts in relation to CHIP questions/threads will have to be 100% in relation to the original post.
ANY post that is deemed OFF TOPIC or stirring in any way shape or form will be deleted.
personally,im sick of CHIP questions as all the trouble we seem to get is in relation to this type of mod.

As far as i know, you're wrong

[DubSteve]

The mk4s are definately soldered in aswell as the mk3 golfs, however the new mk5 golf is through the COM port.
