Should be old giac-x with MBC. Don't need TCD for stage 2.

Default I vote for old code with mbc no need for tcd though..haven't tried the new code however
but it is said to be slightly less potent.

the mbc will solve the problem by controling the boost spike which is the culprit

Default Normally people run a MBC in parallel with N75 valve for overboost TC on K03's. If you want to run
more than K03 GIAC-X boost for K04's, then need TCD as well as it will tell ECU that you are running a lower boost than you actually are.

I have never boosted/spiked over 19.2PSI Max (digital readout)... why am I experiencing TC then?

Ahh.. nice. So TCD is for a stage 3- homebrew setup to trick the ecu to run higher boost for KO4's.
