Default GIAC Flashloader question?

Hey

So i disconnected my battery to put in a 5bar FPR and when i put it back in the VAGCOM only read about 10 pounds of boost. I was thinking that my car jumped back to stock mode on my chip. I have the GIAC program for the tiptronic KO4 kit so i went to awetuning and bought a flashloader and when i plugged it in it flashed so i hit read..... correct me if im wrong...its supposed to scroll through each setting until it falls on one and thats the setting your ecu is on.....let me know why mine didnt do this and what does this mean?

Default i thought....

but when the battery was hooked back up and my mechanic read the psi is what at 10 something and before it was in the 14's......so thats why i begin to think it jumped back to stock....and thats when i thought that i had more than one program.

Default When you put the battery back on did you guys do a throttle adapt?

If you dont the throttle will be in the wrong position causing the car to under boost.

Default I got my 01 flashed and although I don't have the switcher, it was explained to me how it works and

it sounds like you're doing it right.
