Hi guys,

I have a GIAC chip on my B6 1.8 Avant. The car was chipped with the stocks bolted on with the exception of a cat-back exhaust and a Forge DV.

I am currently upgrading to a test pipe, FMIC, RC 440 injectors, and a K04 down the line (1-2 months time)

My question:

Once I have bolted all the upgrades on, how do I go about updating my GIAC tune? I know that here in Houston there are 2 authorized GIAC tuning shops that do the work. Do they have to send the ECU to GIAC directly to solder a new chip, or do they tune it in shop? Has anyone upgraded their GIAC tune like I am planning on doing so? What should I be expecting in price? Any suggestions would be helpful.

 

Since you know you have two options local to you to get the work done, why not just give them a call for a quote and some basic info on the process? Seems like that'd get you your answer faster and more accurately than polling the people here...

 

Its Saturday evening and they dont open until Monday.. The anticipation is killing me

 

Fair enough - in that case, I hope someone comes along with something useful to say.
