Good news from GIAC, they've just released the GIAC Stage 2 and 2+ software upgrades for the MK7 VW GTI!
GIAC Stage 2 and 2+ software upgrades are now available for the MK7 Volkswagen GTI. Stage 2 requires a turbo back exhaust upgrade, and needs an intake for maximum power gains. Stage 2+ requires a turbo back exhaust upgrade, intake and upgraded intercooler. These software upgrades offer dramatic performance improvements over factory software, while retaining factory-like drivability. On 91 octane fuel, performance gains were 80-90 wheel horsepower and 95-100 ft. /lbs. of torque. In certain areas of the power band, gains reached as high as 91 wheel horsepower and 104 ft. /lbs. of torque. As with our stage 1 calibration, our software features a proprietary boost control system to optimize air flow and horsepower. Our engineers have developed this calibration to ensure smooth drive quality and no issues with surging, turbo over speed, ESP lights or limp modes. For DSG models, we've spent a great deal of time combating power loss across shifts, specifically the 3-4 gear shift.
Other notable features include the following:
•properly calibrated air/fuel ratios
•improved throttle response for a drive-by-cable system feel
•raised speed limiters to factory redline in final drive gear
•optimized torque control for smoother, faster shifting with consistent power across all gears
•free upgrade for existing Stage 1 users, same cost as Stage 1 for new users
GIAC's Flashloader handheld switcher is available for this application, complete with the following switching options: •100-octane performance
•"Stock" performance
•Valet mode
•Privacy Firewall
