good deal on giac, but wanted revo !

[owen lcr]

i have had the GIAC race file on my car for 2 years along side the dbilas but im pretty sure its 2.75 all the way through to turbo. still a good bit of kit though...

[Toast]

Had GIAC pump and race maps for 2 years also 

[robern2]

The GIAC race map reputed to be comparable with revo stage2+ hasn't been out for 2 years.

I run the GIAC extreme flash with all supporting mods and i currently am pushing the most power out of all K04s in Australia. I achieved 206.4kw atw, whilst another person who ran a custom GIAC map with all extreme hardware and race fuel on his k04 converted GTI got around 202kw. An APR k04 converted GTI got 178kw.

I'd post a build thread but not sure you guys would be interested hahah

not really interested in dyno numbers mate as its all a lottery..  have you got any peformance figures 1/4m, 0-100 or 30-130mph..

though i would be interested in seeing pics of the vf large k04 intake which is required for the extreme map

you got any?


also - i take it this extreme file requires race fuel to acheive those numbers, do you always fill up with race fuel if not what figures do you get on normal fuel?

nope no performance figures, no hardware to do it, cbf going 1/4 because there are stories of VW representatives taking down rego and vin numbers down and voiding warranty completely.

Here are some of my iphone pics, i am not sure if the tubing is 3inches but im pretty sure they are 4inchs because they are MASSIVE!

intake looks a nice bit of kit but not as large as I was expecting it to be as it looks smaller than the ITG one that alot of us are running

re 1/4 mile - i very much doubt vw honchos are sat there at the finish line jotting down each of your reg numbers and crossing your car off the waranty list 

get yourself down there you pansy and prove your dyno numbers

hmmm never seen that ITG intake before even on the other forums, does look very interesting BUT the extreme map was meant only for the vf k04 intake.

And there has already been a story on the forum and my mechanic has told me where a member took his car down the quarter mile and he tried for a warrantly claim and they showed him photos of his car at the strip and voided his warranty. Also heard Many suburu representatives are there as well so thats enough evidence for me 

I have a stutter problem atm that i am in the process of fixing then coilovers, wheels, cosmetic bits, etc

Would love to see how VW could legally refuse a warranty claim on say a seat belt tensioner because they know the owner has put his foot down for a 1/4 mile 
I know insurance company reps are quite regular at some track days, but that is a different story entirely. The most wearable parts that get a little hammer from 1/4 mile racing are things like clutches and tyres etc which aren't warrantable anyway.
If all else fails, stick a show plate on whilst running..

[Greeners]

Would they void the warranty if you did the same at a set of traffic lights?

That's exactly what I said happened when my DMF went 

[gobbleplease]

In the vw warranty does it state that the warranty is void if taken on track, if it does they have a case if not they don't.

It's the same with insurance and the nurburgring it must be stated on the document that you are not insured for the ring or you can take it that you are, as it's a public road.

It certainly doesn't say anything about track days on my warranty and if they did void it, I'd be going fcukin mental

I must admit im not a fan on the look of the VF intake.  

Surely the only way this intake can make equivalent gains to the evoms/ITG/forge with a filter that is MUCH smaller, is by reducing the filtration to allow more air in.  Maybe the filter material is of a better design, i dont know.  But IMO the only reason the VF is needed is purely due to the  3" diameter of the MAF housing.

If i was tempted to go GIAC extreme route and currently had an ITG intake id be asking ANDY@ITG to knock me up a 3" MAF housing.

As you can see from this pic nearly the whole system is 3" anyway.  It was designed this way to alleviate the extra air resistance that a constant diameter pipe creates in the 90 degree bends.  

All you would need him to do is the MAF housing, a turbo/MAF housing silicone pipe and a connecter hosefor the right hand side.  Plus id bet thios would be a cheaper option than buying a whole new intake if you want to go GIAC

VW carnt possably make a car like a gti and state figures of 0-60 in 6secs or whatever it is then say, oh wait if you actually do that then your warrenties void so ha .
