RE: ecu question

ok I'm getting a giac, but it's just the chip, is it an easy diy if you have electric skills and experience soldering, or should I send out my ecu?

Watch this video:

When i had my A4 I had a GIAC chip put in when i did my bigger turbo. About half way through the video is a small section where you can see him soldering it.
