That valve looks like a b*tch to install if you don't remove the intake manifold...

Remove the line going to the pump

remove t30 torx holding line to of manifold and one on the bottom right.

14mm crows foot to remove the line

17mm crows foot to remove the valve itself.

Install is reverse of removal

Can be done in about 10 minutes this way.

Yep, I did 400 miles on a tank. Will be driving down Owens one this Friday to get mine, and expect more miles from the tank as I will be using GIAC granny mode :)

I always like the fact GIAC had an economy mode available to allow you to bring the power right down and make it into an economy box instead of an all out power machine all the time.  I wish it was available from more vendors like I stated years ago on the "other" forum.

Aye his car is really cool in that you can switch code while you are driving. Being honest, I felt glad I had Revo on my car as it seemed to get a bit ahead for a while, but GIAC extreme and the switch box is a nice piece of kit, and I would say that having been in the Extreme cars and S2+ cars, while there is little in it, the edge would probably go to GIAC performance wise.

I dont think there will be many people who will agree with that statement lol

There's a thread on audi-sport discussing GIAC extreme vs S2+. There are several users who moved from GIAC to Revo because the GIAC Extreme wasnt perfroming as well as other users running Revo S2+. I run Revo S2+ and i think its brilliant.
