Bentley Continental GT 552 bhp to 672 bhp via ECU Upgrade?!

Is offering an upgrade or "ECU Remap" to Bentley's standard Continental 04 to 09 models for £3000 which can apparantly see huge increases in torque and a boost from 552bhp to anywhere between 652 and 672bhp!

Does anyone have any experience with them, or of ECU Remapping in general! Is there anyone offering such a thing cheaper? (as I presume its just a matter of plugging in a computer with their preset settings and hey presto? - quite a profitable thing to resell?)

Sorry im an absolute amateur at this stuff! Any help or past experiences/advise appreciated!

They may want to have a look at their webpage as my antivurus went nuts as soon as I opened it

GIAC Bentley Continental GT Software
GIAC is the first company in the world to flash the Bentley® Continental GT® through the OBD port.

We feel opening up an ECU and replacing the chipset is not a practial way of enhancing your Bentley.

This 'flash' product includes three settings (OEM, Performance, and Immobilizer) and the Flashloader Handheld device for switching the settings. As the Continental GT® relies on two controllers for engine management, synchronizing them for the flash and for the program switching was definitely an impressive task.

Currently the GIAC performance program for the Continental GT® produces 100-114 hp and 120-130 ft-lbs of torque extra, 95-98 octane dependent.

Boost is increased from .5 to .9 bar in the mid range and from .5 to .8 in the high rpms. During development knock, knock correction, air fuel, boost, and waste gate duty cycle and many other parameters were closely monitored as with all GIAC performance program development.

The worlds most popular Bentley Software and still the only to be OBD programmable, without the need for ECU removal.

Please Note: Included in this price is programming of the car at your door anywhere in the UK.


Price: £3,914.89 (Including VAT at 15%)

Well Ive sold my Bentley a while back now so this thread doesnt concern me anymore but I can report I never did play with the ECU on the Bentley but I got a 519bhp to 688bhp increase to my CLS63 which was phenominal but I can feel that its just too much power to handle for a RWD car.... upon closer inspection at various ECU results it seems the most attractive by far is any 2010+ Bentley Superports at approx 630bhp can be boosted up to just under 740bhp with just a ECU remap .... and thats a 4WD vehicle.... holy cow!
