Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'Recommend powerchip' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Recommend powerchip' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Powerchip reprogramming? I'm skeptical of the "as advertised" power boost of up to 10%, but wouldn't mind giving it a try if any of the performance gain is noticeable throughout the rpm range. According to their scale, the reprogramming for 93 octane will yield a gain of 17 hp and 15 lb-ft of tq on my '99, with most of it at the low and mid-range rpm. That's worth $1,000 if the result indeed supports their claim. Where I live, 93 octane gas is readily available, plus I maintain my car diligently, and I don't drive to/from areas with extreme climate or altitude variances. Therefore, I can conceivably make do without Porsche's factory tuning solution which accomodates different conditions and situations. In addition, I can also reset it to its original setting at any time. It's supposedly undetectable by service technicians, so no implications on warranty either. Sounds like all pros and no cons for my particular application, but still I'd like to hear some first-hand experiences (if any) or general comments from anyone with any insight.
Thanks!
Ucube, I enhanced both of my Porsches last month with ECU upgrades from Powerchip. I am very pleased with the experience, and am very satisfied with the results. The noticeable benefits in my 1990 normally-aspirated 944S2 have been: smoother idle, better throttle response, and more peak power, throughout the rev-range. The increased power for my 1989 944 Turbo S has been staggering! It is like a new car! I am totally blown away by the power surge I experience from about 110-140 mph in 5th gear. I used to downshift to 4th in order to make the quick jump to 140, but now, I just press the pedal, wait for the boost (which comes sooner now), and hang on tight! I recommend Powerchip to you; not only do they have a great product, but also excellent customer service. I was most impressed by Travis, as he is second-to-one in helpfulness and kindness. Give him a call, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Good luck, and feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions about my experience.
RJMDAD996, Wow, that is quite a nice collection of Porsches you have there!
