K04 ECU tune mystery
#1

I'm wondering if someone can narrow this down for me. I had a 2001 A4 1.8t with K04-15 and it was tuned. The injectors were stock. So what tune could it have possibly had? The car had APR Tuned emblem on the back, but when I took out the ECU it had a GIAC sticker on the exterior of metal cover. It pulled very strong without any issues.
So just based on the profile (2001, stock injectors, K04-15), any idea how to narrow it down? Obviously I was not the original owner so I don't know what the history is. I parted the car after it was totaled in a deer accident, and I kept the ECU, injectors and turbo.
I want to sell the ECU but I need to know what I am selling first. Tuner shops are unable to help as they can only read an ECU via OBD port if connected to a car.
Thanks

If it was a GIAC tune then it was most likely their standard tune for stock injectors and 5 bar fpr. They also offer a Hammer file tune, but that used TT injectors. Are you 100% sure they were stock 2001 A4 1.8t injectors?
There should have been a sticker on the ECU saying what file it was or it coudl actually be on the inside of the ecu.

I should have looked at the ECU again prior to posting (I parted the car over a year ago and forgot it had a file label). So written on the ECU "K014-15 018CH 5 BAR .08W". The 018 CH being the last 3 letters in ECU part #, 5 BAR is the FRP, .08W not so sure about?
So yes, it is the GIAC K04-15 5 bar FPR flash file for stock injectors. I am 100% sure injectors are stock as I have them with me.
Thanks for the accurate suggestion!
