May be austin at giac can shed some light on this.
Quite a few people on the S3 forums plus a few on here have GIAC maps including the extreme map which is reputed to be comparible to Revo stage2+  :popcornsoda:

Still not heard a peep about giac or new developments in months.
Anybody know what they are working on these days in the uk
Or have they died a death. Ive noticed a number of GIAC dealers
Are also cross selling revo (some for the second time).

Thread revival time!

GIAC have their mitts on a Golf R in the USA and I will let you know soon as I will be fully GIAC in the ECU and DSG by next week.

For reference my car did 355bhp and the limited 320 lbft of torque before I moved to GIAC for their equivalent of stage 2 (without taking into account the upgrade hpfp) and I lost only 6bhp at the top end, but gained over 35lbft and over 20bhp in the midrange.

So the maps going on next week will hopefully give me quite a bit more ooomph! :evilgrin:

Well I had the GIAC equivalent of stage 2+ (which GIAC call stage 2 just to add a little confusion!) on the car today and I'm very happy with the results. GIAC have been developing this map on their own in-house Golf R which has almost identical modifications to it as my R.

After a few conversations with Thomas@ GIAC they agreed to let me have this map on the car before general release to get some VCDS logs off of it. I will be doing logs this on Friday.

The car feels stronger than I've had it before and an early performance test hasl been very positive.

I will most likely keep this specific map on over the winter, before looking at the GIAC Loba map next year. It is a pity that Santa Pod has closed for the winter as I would have loved to have done some official times as I KNOW they will be faster than the 12.615@108 I did earlier this year.
