Yes.... better response, more pull in the midrange, higher limiter

It rocks. Enhances driveability, nice gain in the midrange, and for the CA guys, no more EGR! Best bang for the buck.

...where is a good place to get one. I searched the forums and sites, but came up with squat. thanks.

never bought one, but I figure that from Garrett themselves is safer... that way you make sure the chip is burnt with the latest maps? I need the big cams (Schricks) version, so I'd rather have them map it.

Will I seriously notice a difference if I swap out my current P-chip for a GIAC instead and get it mapped for my Euro Intake cam???
And what is meant for CA guys not needing EGR anymore? with the GIAC, can I remove the EGR???
Re: anyone put a Garrett chip in their 2.0l 16v (Ted)

Ted- the GIAC chip turns off the EGR lamp that would illuminate if you remove the EGR.

I ordered one from QMR motorsport about a week ago.. hopefully I'll have it early next week

But would this mess up emissions crap and make me fail smog???
Re: anyone put a Garrett chip in their 2.0l 16v (B3sat16v)

B3sat16v, Nope. The motronic chip just pops out and you stick the new one in
I'm not sure how firmly their pressed in so you might need a 1$ eeprom removal tool..
