Dude you aren't so good at researching the info yourself are you?

Giac chip =
+47hp +80 ft/lbs. Torque for the 150hp engine
+40hp +80 ft/lbs. Torque for the 170hp engine

Intercooler =
Probably not much, unless we are talking about heat soak.

As far as the boost controller goes, do you even know how to use one???

Does this shop know what there doing exactly? boost controolers arent exactly anything to mess around with when your on the stock turbo and some rice tuner boys playin with it.

Its not a good idea to run a boost controller on top of the chip because the chip adds the right amount of fuel specifically tunned for how much boost it is putting out which is around 16psi. People do it but still not a good idea.

you run either/or unless you are prepared to accept all responsibility for the outcome of your project. i will bet my Z that you are under 21 maybe even in high school and wish to push the envolope. well that means either your parents bought you a car or you took out a loan. well if you destroy your car the insurance company will not pay for anything but will notify the lein holder (Bank) the bank will then call in the remaning balance of the loan. if your not able to pay in full you must officially file for bankrupcy which will remian on your credit for 7 years meaning you cannot own a credit card get a bank card get any sort of a loan or even consider purchasing a car.

A boost controller will do almost nothing to a K03 turbo if it is already GIAC chipped. Maybe 3 or 4 hp extra if anything. A K03 really has reached its limits with the GIAC programming. Anymore boost and the turbo spins hot air and starts to break down. You are simply going to destroy your turbo by pushing it more than a tuner would. If it was safe a tuner (who pushes beyond what a manufacturer suggests) would go for it would they not?

Not to mention you will run lean - not good.
