GIAC Tuned Edition 30
« on: 26 January 2008, 13:03 »
Hi all!
        As most of you know I had the superchips Bluefin on my edition 30 for a week before sending it back as I did not like the power delivery! I was looking at APR but after visiting Star Performance this morning and speaking to the Owner Jim Curley I decided to go with the GIAC remap! He offered me the Hand held switch unit with the stock file and performance file for £599 all fitted! First of all he checked the car for error codes before remapping the car. After the car had the remap he showed me how to use the handheld switch unit which is excellent as you can switch between stock and performance in a second either when the car is stood still or during driving. We then went for a test drive and all I can say is what a lovely smooth power delivery! The car is exactly how I want it to be! Very happy indeed! I would highly recommend!!!

305 BHP! There are rumours of a 330 BHP remap coming out also! I meant to mention also that you get 30 days money back guarantee if you are not happy with the remap!

Sounds good, I should imagine the 330bhp map is like a stage2, which needs TBE and intercooler in APR guise, so I would think you would need at least an exhaust

I am getting the Milltek CAT back fitted this week! I was going to get the turbo back but Jim Curley has had lots of problems with the down pipe on MkV Gti's and also His leon Track car so he advised to not bother!

Had TBE Milltek on my last GTi to with no issues what so ever, really improved things making the car rev much easier and pull much stronger along with the stage2 map

Awesome now recommend fitting a dogbone insert, neuspeed or ECS, when fitting uprated exhausts Milltek or otherwise, just to reduce engine movement a little.

There is not good to push the engine to 330hp without new intercooler and full exhaust.Your turbo will burn up,and also your original cat will get to hot with that high boost to get 330hp.Giac have had lot of problem in the US because of to high turbo pressure

....Good advice, wolfbane.

People need to consider the whole package and not just the numbers of an easily added remap.

Tell that to Superchips uk! They have been running this program for the last month or so!
