Engine Power Chips - 2003 996 C4S Do engine power enhancement chips really work? There are various claims made, but I question their value. Anybody have experience in this?

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

The only thing I ever saw was where they tried to copy another ECU tuner's code and got caught, but that's all I know about Power Chips, don't know anyone using them.

I read about a chip by GForce. Huge claims for $69. Sounds like a Bernie Madoff scam!

Problem i have with them is the power increase is always at the very end of the RPM range were it is seldom used and MPG are decreased

Have you looked at the APR upgrade? APR Product Selection They do decent work on the Audi's but I haven't actually met anyone running this on their Porsche. But then again, I don't get out much!
