Default ok, quick stupid chip question, does the GIAC chip have aprinted circuit board on the chip itself or

is it just an Eprom chip? I know this is hard to describe but I have 2 chips and am not sure which one the race program is on, 1 is significantly bigger than the other, please help.

Default There is the EEPROM, and then a riser/encryption card that stays on the ECU board

The EEPROMS should be the same size as stock I would htink??

I haven't looked at mine for a long time

educated guess: the one w/ the board is the GIAC, the other is your stock

The chips themselves are just EPROMs, you put which ever chip you want on the "riser"
