max boost on the GIAC seems to be 13 psi on multiple dyno threads
jb+ can get that (10-12 usually)
think it depends on your needs and your wallet...
you wanna run hard...jb3 is still the best IMO (multiple maps for whatever the need)..but you want a nice/modest bump...GIAC if you got the cash..or a jb+ and BT tool...still waiting to see
the GIAC will be a contender once they release the hand held switcher from stock to tune
BTT: AE's look great....no codes with the lights installed rgiht? LCI computers seem to be more finicky

I'm patiently waiting on my headlights in the mail. Hopefully i get them by friday so i can install it over the weekend and post pics. Hopefully all goes well like other E92 LCI owners had.

as I've stated before in the roginal thread regarding this mod, members pay that much for an LCI tail light upgrade and/or LCI xenon upgrade....price isn't that bad considering the time and work put into it....
how's your HID kit working?
definitely a great service you provide

Hey Gene, the hid kit has been holding up great so far. Chris sent me the cables to make the stock brighter but haven't had the chance to put them on.

Sorry for the delay guys. Here's a couple of pics that I took last weekend at noon. The weather is clear and temp is at 100 degrees! You can tell the sun is at 2 o'clock by looking at the car's shadow. The pics don't do them justice. The AEs are bright and highly visible in daytime. Sometimes I would run my car with just the DRL at night since the LEDs are super bright. The best mod IMHO.
Many thanks to Luis for an amazing mod!

I highly recommend this mod to anyone who's in the verge of getting it done. Luis is an awesome honest guy to deal with.
