Im considering getting the GIAC chip and TT 710N Diverter valve. I have done a lot of searches, but I was wondering who paid what for the GIAC chip. A local shop told me $399 (i think) for the chip. I think its a good price. What is the life expectancy for a stock K03 diverter valve? If I just put the 710N diverter valve in (not chip) will I notice a difference? The shop guy told me I would, but Ive read that I wont. Please clarify these things thanks.

 

also, what is the psi raised to on the turbo with giac?

 

You wont notice a difference with the 710N if you are not chipped.
But if you do get chipped , I would recommend the 710N right away , dont use the stock valve while chipped.
The chip will make you boost about 15 PSI

 

the chip up's your boost, which the stock dv cant handle. the 710 simply keeps the higher boost

the stock dv can handle the stock boost, so the 170n can definatly handle it

the stock dv CANT handle the 15 psi of giac, so the 710n is necessray

 

I talked to the local shop(giac dealer in columbus) and they told me they have to send my ECU to the GIAC, they cannot do it there [:@]

So I dont get giac... I need the car everyday.

 

If you planing to go there, let me know, we can go together, I can also agrue with them why they dont chip my car over there

 

Im planning to go there within the next month. Can someone please verify the going price for GIAC??

 

that's a good price.... the shop i went to chiped it locally.... there are also flash programs out there for giac now... I was running my chip w/a modified computer where they sodered off my stock chip and put the giac chip in place, now i am running it w/the stock chip, flashed....I can now flash back to stock and race modes when ever ... would definatly recommend the flash program, but you will need the new DV.. mine boosts at 23-24psi
