Winner of the Audiworld.com B6 S4 shootout

GIAC sets the industry standard once again with the release of their diagnostic port loaded ECU chip switcher, the Flashloader.

Flashloader is uploaded at our location or at one of our Authorized Dealer locations.

What sets Flashloader apart from the competition is that it is loaded with the best software on the market: GIAC. On the B6 S4, the pump gas chip all over the US has repeatedly produced 18-19 crank hp and 18-19 ftlbs of torque at the crank on 92+ octane (91 octane figures slightly lower), with zero pinging and perfect drivability.

Flashloader offers several different programs, depending on your vehicle:

• Street Premium Unleaded Fuel program
• 100+ Octane Race Fuel program
• Valet program (30 mph speed limiter)
• Ignition Kill Security program (no start antitheft)

You can choose to have the Street Premium Unleaded Fuel program loaded alone or a combination of the above programs. To switch between multiple programs you can use a free software download on your PC or laptop to execute the switching (requires use of a Ross-Tech cable). Now released is a handheld switcher module (see the video of the handheld in action below!). The Handheld Switcher module is available for online ordering above, but will only work on ECUs loaded with Flashloader switching software.

At this time, Flashloader now can be installed even if the vehicle is not present. Please see our Chip Order FAQ on how to remove and send us your ECU. Installation has a 24hr turnaround time!

Why GIAC?

1. GIAC has the most experience of any US tuner reprogramming Bosch Motronic. GIAC reprograms Audi/VW/Porsche/BMW/Mercedes/Fiat/Citroen destined for both US and German markets.

2. GIAC only writes ECU software and does not lose R&D time on developing exhausts, suspension, turbo kits, air filters, etc.

3. GIAC takes a base program from a new ECU (starting in their computer lab, using five dedicated networked computers) and completely disassembles out important functions using extremely complex engineering software. This is the same software used for the development of these ECUs by the manufacturer. When needed, GIAC emulates in real time with a professional engineering emulator, which allows 6 bit triggering and the ability to capture virtually any event while they run an ECU on a workbench.

4. GIAC then takes that source code and loads it into GIAC proprietary software "SHW version 8.02", where they can correctly modify any settings in the ECU. This makes GIAC different because they do not use commercial chip modifying software which can radically limit the tuning freedom needed to make a factory quality program. With a factory quality product, you will get silky smooth performance with stable power. GIAC can rewrite the code in SHW to modify anything.

5. GIAC designs and engineers in house all of their own printed circuit boards for encryption using advanced CAD software. They also write all of their own programs for encryption. This allows GIAC to get product to market much faster for a large variety of cars. It also protects GIAC software from increasingly common piracy found in the industry today. GIAC encrypts all of their chips to protect the cutting edge programming techniques they use.

6. GIAC's close ties with Bosch Gmbh ensures that their chips are state of the art.

Why consider anything else?

Please visit the GIAC homepage for even further information on GIAC and their state of the art technology. Their recent success in getting the legendary Porsche 959 to pass Federal emissions standards qualifies them as the industry leader.

Upgrade Policy: We will provide free lifetime upgrades to GIAC chip users who have purchased the chip directly from us. Upgrades apply to current versions of the same type of chip. There are no upgrade paths for certain chips, such as for larger turbo packages. However, we do have discounts available for all GIAC chip users when purchasing a complete larger turbo kit from us. Please inquire about discounts or with any questions you may have regarding this policy. Also please note that all GIAC chips advertised on this site are for US spec vehicles unless stated otherwise.
