The Steve Wong chips are the ONLY way to go! The improvement in driveability from low end to 7000 rpm is VERY noticeable along with added throttle response. Fuel economy also is better, so every aspect of your perfomance will improve.

Fred,
I had one of Steve's chips (2k, 24-pin) in my Carrera for about 18 months. It was a great chip and provided performance improvements over the Autothority chip that came with my car when I bought it in 1997.
Last month I made the upgrade to Steve's 8k, 28-pin performance chip. IMHO, the car performs even better than before. The chip complements my no-cat exhaust system (i.e. Dansk pre-muffler w/O2 sensor and sport muffler) and recognizes the use of 93 octance fuel which is readily available here in VA. The car is VERY strong from about 2200 up to 6200.

Actually, he makes good points that should be factored in by any novice contemplating chipping (but the dude's 'tude...)
So, I'd recommend that a thoughtful enthusiast wanting to chip their 911 read ALL the Rennlist threads on the topic. Quite entertaining as well as enlightening.

Steve Wong is the only chip to buy for a 3.2 I have a S. Wong chip in in my 84 Carrera. Tremendous difference. I also have an '02 WRX (also not an STI).
Loren ought to be along soon. Disregard his anti chip statements.

Steve (not Wong)

I put S. Wong chip in my 88 carrera ( ROW 231hp ) in yesterday and now cars feels much beter then before. After realesing throtle idle picks up way beter then before as injection start stoping engine at 1100 rpm as oposed to some 880 - 900 as factory chip is. Idling is better smoother, and through whole range engine is more lively. Dont care how many hp is gain as long is that good is worth every dolar spend.
I have also audi TT chiped to 265hp and it feels slow overall except turbo punch is more to feel, but porsce goes way beter. If Audi have 265hp then my carrera should have at least 250hp now in comparison.
Watever loren is talking about is maybe true, but to flame others just because he couldnt make chip that would be any good is............. Otherwise is a shame that he is such a d***head as hes technical knowledge is very good.

the reason the TT feels so much slower is that it has Quattro, a four cylinder and its heavyier by probably 400-500 lbs of driveshafts, diffs, wiring and creature comfort things. but I know that 1.8T is capable of close to 350HP with out taking the head off. which is a damn powerful little car
