performance chip for 991.2 vehicles
has anyone found, used a performance chip system for the 991.2 vehicles to utilize the detuned loss of power?
clearly the 991.2 engine is capable of more (the S only has a few parts changed and tune to gain additional 50hp) and have heard statements where 100hp gain from a base could be possible with ease....
curious if anyone been researching companies.. ive found 2 but none of the big names have the chip yet.
this being said, im not trying to start a conversation about warranty, overheating, long term affects or opinion.. i have used chips on benz, ferrari, audi, and Bmw without any ill effects but the brands used do not produce porsche chips yet.

Something tells me the "chip market" for the 911's isn't huge because of the demographics.
Older, and most guys happy with the current performance. Not to mention, the cars are a lot more expensive and guys not wanting to void manufacturers warranties.
Everyone thought you'd see a flood of them because going turbo, but hasn't happened. I don't think Porsche has a "hidden" 50-100HP they're merely hiding in only software. The chips do help and improve mapping performance, don't get me wrong.
Buy a "real Turbo S"?? Can get the 991.1's for less $$ than a new 991.2 Carrera S
