GIAC tune

Does anyone in New England have this installed? I'm thinking about upgrading from my JB+ to the GIAC, but it looks like there is only one dealer in Massachusetts. Any issues with this dealer Thanks.

I Just had my 335 flashed w/ Stage 1 through them last night actually. Dealt with Marc...really great and professional guy. No issues whatsoever with German Performance Service. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and very reputable given the years of experience working with new and old BMW's / Porsche's. Marc left for Mid-Ohio today and will be on Vacation for the next week and a half, but I recommend calling him up the Monday after next to schedule your flash if you decide to get it. Oh, and if you're upgrading from just the JB+, you are in for a serious treat once you get this flash. Performance and smoothness is simply night and day better. You won't be disappointed! Tell him Chris with the AW Xi sent you. Good luck!

Confession: I went ahead and bought a JB3. Really wanted to do the GIAC, but with 2 failed HPFPs now, I needed to be able to "go back to stock" on my schedule, and not on the shop's schedule. Maybe once I'm out of warranty or when I can afford to have a 2nd backup car.

I agree. It took me a solid hour the first time around, and I stupidly put it all back together before firing up the engine. All sorts of CELs, forgot to attach the JB3 box (duh). The 2nd time around it only took about 20-30 minutes.
