Default Does the flash/chip do anything?

For owners, what is the real story with the GIAC flashloader? So far I'm impressed but like to hear if you can feel the difference. I wont be doing any other mods (unless someone says diverter or exhaust is a must )

Dustman,

Try it, if you don't like it or don't see the gains promised we always offer a 100% REFUND! No risk and nothing to loose, just a whole lot of smiles to gain.

Yes, DVs are a must (you'll eventually blow the POS stock ones), also exhaust and intake...but the GIAC flash is very impressive. The boost comes on faster and stronger (like 1.2 vs. .6 stock). Stephen did mine and I'm quite happy!

Heya Dusty- it does get you smiles indeed! Think of it as using a BFG everytime you hammer it

When was the last time that you were able to pick up 65 to 75 hp/Tq for 2k without any other changes? Excellent value. Heck my gas mileage improved....

dman, you havent even got the car yet and you want to mod it, why??? You are already so use to driving a 420hp car that you will be initially bored and disappointed?
Hey, I have an idea, why dont you drive the car until it seems really slow and then slowly start modding one step at a time so you can enjoy each change. These light to light on the street guys are going to lead you astray. Enjoy your new car the way porsche intended first!!!!!
