    was it soldered on ? if it was you run the risk of lifting a pad on the board, but still possible.

    I don't think you are going to want to unsolder the GIAC chip and then resolder the new chip in. Its probably going to have to be reprogrammed anyway to fit the target car.

    It is easier just to transfer the programing to the recipient car. I did that with APR for about $50 (incl new chip). The chip itself is cheap, it is the programming that costs the $$$.

    It would be easiest to trade for a stock ECU if you selling the car - no? Or do you have two ECU's?

    But, like I said, evolution motorsports soldered a socket where the stock chiip was, and sent me the stock chip back in return also, there for I could remove the GIAC chip, and put the stock one back in place....
