    giac doesnt use chips soldered to the ecu anymore. they reflash your ecu via the obd II port.

    the easiest way would most likely be getting a boost gauge and see how much psi your boosting

    Plug it in and drive out to Poker Run Rally Sunday morning. Give it a chance to exercise the new muscle.

    Plug it in - if you dont feel more HP / Torque, its a stock ECU. /thread.
