Default Anyone ever hear of installing giac chip in ecu themselves?

My friend ordered his giac chip form giac and they sent him the chip. he has to install it himself. Anyone ever do this?(install the chip in the ecu yourself) supposing it's plug and play. this true?

Default You need to have some skill and the right equipment to do it....

Don't do it unless you're EE. I did it many times.

Default Find a GIAC dealer in your area...

and have them socket the ECU for you, then you and change the chip as you please. If you DIY and do not get it right...By by ECU.
