Have Dinan S2, is it worth the $1K going to GIAC S2?

JAXT88 · 06-07-2011, 08:50 PM

So right now I have the Dinan S2 tune, is it worth the $1K going to GIAC S2? See my mods in my signature.

I decided I am not taking the piggyback route.

Thanks for your input!

You're a perfect candidate for the GIAC S2. Get the flash loader device. You will love it!

Why do you want to ditch the DINAN?

Brey335i · 06-07-2011, 10:30 PM

No. It's worth the $800 to switch to COBB though

LAE92 · 06-07-2011, 10:48 PM

I know this may not help as I do not have experience with the Dinan Stage 2, but I have to back Brey and say the COBB is definitely worth it.

No, think again and add a JB+ with the Dinan and you will be very happy..

Since Dinan stage 3 is out of the question resulting to a loss of money on the stage 2, you might as well go with Cobb instead to accommodate the non-Dinan mods you have.

I would go the COBB route. You'll enjoy S1 for now, and once S2 is out you'll like it even more

Yes, it's worth it. GIAC S2 is as reliable and headache-free as Dinan S2 but with much more power. A natural upgrade. Also get the S2 Race and map switcher, the power is incredible and just as smooth.

Does GIAC stage 2 accommodate for FBOs like the piggybacks; intake, FMIC, DPs, exhaust, etc?

Fernflex · 07-28-2011, 07:51 AM

I would go with Giac without a question!

dzenno · 07-28-2011, 08:01 AM

Cobb..You can resell it later..updates are free and more coming all the time

kdiggz · 07-28-2011, 08:14 AM

GIAC stage 2 calibration is done for FBO cars.
