Well I had some free time today for the first time in a while, and decided to install my new 710n DV. Afterwards I went down to the local tuner to have the GIAC chip installed. I was a little dissapointed because they charged me a half hour labor ($45), and after tax it came out to $580. Also while driving home, it seemed to kick in hard in 1st from about 2800 to 3800 rpm's, but 1st and second gear was pretty much the only time I noticed a difference. Maybe I just got worked up to much by reading all the hype, or maybe something's wrong, I just thought I would see more gains.

I'm not chipped...but i heard from the chip ur supposed to gain like 30 or 40hp, i assume you should feel allot more power......

not to be off topic but how much were ur wheels? I have the sport packadge ans want those ultra sport wheels......

 

I can't exactly remember how much they were, but they were really cheap, like $580 or somethin(w/ out tires). They're the replicas from that company on ebay.

 

thats the first I've heard of someone not too happy with the chip, let me know what you find because I was going to get the chip next week from Giac but I want some gains so maybe I need to go with the Apr chip

 

wow dont they just relash now and only takes like 10 mins

 

I guess for '00-'01 they have to actually sodder the chip in. In the near future they will be able to flash them.

 

Thats weird I have mine chipped and I feel huge gains, compared to stock..

 

This summer i will be doing a k04/giac swap in my car from what i have heard this is one of the best turbo upgrades for reliability reasons. They say about 75-80 hp gain i can't wait. Maybe look into a different dv.

 

you should really hear the turbo just spoolin and that dv should almost sound like a bov it is really cool ! gl in finding what you need.

 

Maybe the factory 710N DV is not as good as other aftermarket DV?
