I've not been a fan of GIAC on 91 octane in the AZ heat, so hopefully it's been figured out better given the higher sophistication of our DMEs. Curious to see the results.

Yessir, correct. GIAC on 91 octane isnt to blame for your car not running well in high heat. That would be attributed moreso to poor cooling from a stock intercooler. Audis (which I'm assuming youre referring to) have terrible stock intercoolers in very poorly ventilated areas (SMICs) so with any heat running a higher boost application for a prolonged period of time, you're undoubtedly in for some knocking. For this reason, GIAC will be making a Stage 2 file specifically requiring a FMIC kit. Heat + Turbo = Bad without cool IATs.

Bigger isn't always better, good sir. Thats all I'll say in regards to that for now.
