The sight shows stock boost @ 6 psi and we all know it is 8.5 My guess is this product will not hit the market until 4th quarter 2007!!!!

I won't even begin to discuss GIAC, Revo and APR........ It's a huge bag of worms and not worth tackling. Numbers fool ? Didn't fool me when my GTI 2.0T with GIAC software and turbo back exhaust would take a modded v8 S4 by a few lengths, from a roll ...... ( it was Revo'd and Full back Milltek) It's all opinion and preference. I'll see what they work up and then make a decision. kj |

They said they were working on stuff for the 325i and 330i, but obviously those haven't materialized.

ur right the whole chip debate is bull, but i was complimenting on GIAC on making hp safely, even if it isnt the most (which is all debateable), it usually done in a responsible fashion. Im a fan of their tuning, even though i have Revo on my car.............. we can get along cant we? also this reaction is a completely understandable one to all of the chip talk that vag owners have to take, BMW owners take note! EDIT my note on the numbers fool, is to see the numbers the GIAC 335i will put done before a decide anything. im also not gonna, chip/tune whatevs, until about a year from now, i want everything down on the table AND DO NOT WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO DO IT

Hemi to e90,
"Numbers Fool" just sounded as though you were saying that GIAC's numbers are bigger than what you really get. I totally agree about being the software guinea pig. I'm going to get to some other mods before the tune. Either way, we'll see what others like GIAC, Technic and ESS do with this car. " Can't we all get along ? "..... you know it bro. kj |

2007 should prove to be rather different, as we've trimmed down our R&D plans and intend to focus on specific projects that will likely yield better ROI and help us work towards being early to market when it comes to significant models such as the 335i. We've only recently just finished our E46 M3 s/c kits and that means we'll now be focusing on the N54. GIAC already has their in-house demo and it won't be long till we have our Stage 1 kit (GIAC software and CAI) available. Stage 2 big-turbo R&D will take place at the same time, so 2007 should prove to be a big year for VF-Engineering and the N54 engine Brad Beardow General Manager VF-Engineering |

Great to hear Brad.
I spoke with the guys at GIAC and I knew they had thier 335 already. But, they told me they weren't going to start testing with it until the spring. I'd love to see what they come up with, as I said before, I have loved all the tuning I had of theirs for my VW/Audi cars. kj |

The whole aftermarket will be dead for the 325 and 330. What company in the right mind will develope a product for a series that what out for 1 year. No one.
