what do you guys know about the giac solderless chip? i've heard that its the best thing on the market right now for the mk4. i have the 1.8t and want a decent increase in power. every where i've read it has said that the chip will give 35-50 horses and 50 ft lbs of torque for 500 bucks. that sounds like a pretty good deal to me. and plus i love the solderless part. makes it so much easier. let me know what you guys think about it.
thanks in advance
Jay

I have a GIAC chip, it does produce that much of an increase, and it's great. It improves everything on the car, and can really see a difference.

It's also nice because instead of having to replace your stock chip they just flash the software on and you're good to go.
