^335 discussed here....
on my original link it was VF Engineering that posted about the GIAC flash...
price $795 for Stage 1
"*Top speed governor has been removed.
*The flash is diagnostically invisible. All checksums add up and the flashcounter is reset so that it is not detectable. The flash does not leave behind any hard codes or ghost codes that could potentially lead to detection either.
*This is the Stage 1 file. The Stage 2 and Stage 2+ files will be coming soon respectively but will require more supporting mods which are an upgraded FMIC and downpipes since the power levels we achieved were limited by the stock FMIC mainly. "

who would install this?/what equipment would be necessary? Just a laptop with a USB OBDII? And they just send you the software to do it? or do you need to send the ecu away? I know they said through the OBDII so I'm just a bit confused. AND this is completely undetectable? If so, I might have to start saving up!
