I don't really see Revo going any faster than Giac. However, I do think people into racing are more likely to buy a Revo chip over anything else. I was able to get my bone stock GTI (K&N panel filter) into the 14s (14.8x). I've seen numerous people run into the 13s with the above mods (but I know the track there is slow). Revo and Giac are on equal grounds in my book.

My Opinion on what I do: I trust Garret Lim and will continue to support his company (Giac). His story is amazing to say the least. To start and run a company such as Giac while going to college (medical school) is amazing.

So the gate is not controlled by vacuum but directly by an actuator? Ugh... They don't list a part number for my car; their listing starts at 99. Mine is a 98. Does that mean that mine doesn't work the same?

Imma go look at the gat while there is 5 minutes of light left...

Thanks.

There is a reason i said Turbo, not Turbo's.

That Triple K is the same one as every other 1.8T VW/Audi alike, I sell that turbo about every other day, hell its even got its own Technical Bullentin.

And i believe 98s are not n75s, i believe they have a nipple'd wastegate.

Yeah I looked earlier, the gate looks like what I expected to see....

This is a daily, and I don't want it stealing ANY focus from the T/A, but a mechanical boost guage and a MBC is peanuts...

I just need to know how far it go running the stock maps. I don't want to push the edge or anything, but anything I can pick up that easily I wouldn't want to leave on the table.

Is this the forum to be reading?:
