I'm watching this with interest as I keep seeing chips on ebay for my 964 but can't decide if they're a waste of money or possibly harmfull,will they ruin the fuelling?

Gazzy i did speak to someone who put a S/W chip into his 1989 911 and says it was well worth doing,wished he had done it years ago and it never needed setting up as such and he said you could feel the difference.

But im un-sure myself thats why i have posted the question lol

I know Rich Simpson had his Targa chipped and was very pleased. Check through old posts or if Rich is watching he may be able to advise( think he may be in France at present)

Ive had mine chipped and its better, seams smoother to drive. The power went up from 256bhp to 278bhp. That was a live rollin road re-map.

I know sumone who got a plug and play e-bay chip for £56 and his 964 made 298bhp on the same rollin road that my car pulled the 256bhp!
He didnt test his car before so i cant say how much power increase he had from the e-bay chip. His car has the same set exhaust set up as mine but has had a recent full engine rebuild.

The only thing ive been warned about is rev limiter removal, or upping the limit where the limiter kicks in.
Engines have rev limiters for a reason.

If you don't mind me asking,what did that cost Russ.I keep hearing good things about this guy and I'm considering it for the future but for now I thought I'd give an aftermarket chip a go.

I know what you mean about the dyno runs Russ,I used to run a bike dyno which was brilliant running someone elses motor to the redline,wasn't quite so appealing with my own.

A live remap is the way to go...

He's the best for Porsche there is at what he does. I use this guy & Rick woods at Stockport for the specialist engineering stuff. Never understand why people will pay for a chip & not bother to check if it's doing the job. For all they know it could be over fuelling & wrecking the engine. Live remap from Wayne will be money well spent.
