Intel is just who fabricated the physical chip. Tuning companies buy that hardware to write their tuning on. Like your usb flash drive- Kingston isn't the director of all the bbw porn on it. jkjk.

i personally liked the feel of my speedtuning over my friends GIAC. but i guess it was my own personal opinion. I would sell the other one (just to be safe) and write G.I.A.C on it in permanent marker ;)

Do most companies normally mark their chips?

All I know is my buddies 97 was chipped shortly after it was new by the previous owner, and there is no brand name on the chip in his ecu. All we know is that it boosts ~16psi. I'm sure that some are unmarked for fear of voiding the waranty.

GIAC put a big ol sticker on my ecu- "THIS ECU HAS BEEN BENCHFLASHED BY G.I.A.C."

I think my speedtuning ecu was unmarked at least on the outside.

Im guessing its giac...
Cause from how they described it thats what it seems like.


and if thats the case i like speed tuning better i think.

GIAC is way aggressive down low as opposed to up high. It blows it's wad way before redline, unlike some other chips that provide more linear and smooth pull to redline. The speedtuning "stage 2" chip that I had on my 97 was very compareable to GIAC as far as seat of the pants goes.

Ok well the funny thing is i bought it from this asshole kid for 45$ cause he thought it was broken and tried to scam me.

I just went and compared them both and this one pulls so much harder when you floor it.
And the boost seems like it goes all the way to redline or like 1000 before it.

i thought my Speedtuning chip was a sweet deal! ;)


Also i wanna thank you onepoint8tee you always help me with everything.
Your one of the most knowledgeable men ive ever talked to.

Is there anyway i can tell?'

Like hook a vagcom cable up?

Or should i just download the program switching tools and just use process of elimination.

lol you got a $400 part for like 45 buck's lol it's like who got scammed now bitch!!

you might get the ecu writer with vag.... at least unitronics writes their "code" in the ecua dn you can tell it is theirs
