Flash load? I thought they had to hardwire the B5 ECU chips, I assumed it would be the same for the Tip chips.

I definitely need to try one out...

All you have to do for the tip chip is take the computer out, overnight it, they "rechip" it, and sent it back 1 day. The car is out for 3 days, but you will love the results.

The GIAC tip chip works fantastic, when you shift, you can got redline, then shift. If you don't have the chip, you have to shift before red because the rpm's will continue for a second or more. It's worth it on the 2.8!

im sorry to tell you this, but your wrong. my 2001 1.8 shifts automatically at redline.
