rfuerst944s - I was just curious as to how hard it was to put that chip on your 944S?? I have an "S" also and am interested in doing this. I can only get 91 octane fuel where I live, will that hurt the performance much?

Did you notice a difference? You said it pulled hard, but how about low-end gears - any more pick-up like when you hit the gas in third??

Alex: Their website (http://www.autothority.com/) has a list of all ditributors. I believe you'll find us there.

Prince: the installation of the chip for the S is the same as all others. Here's a link:

Good Luck!

To Prince,the install was not bad all though I ended up calling Autothority for clarification on taking the boards apart inside the DME to get to the chip.As far as the performance I did not see much of an improvement under 3000 rpms but above that it seems to really turn on!One thing I want to pass on to anyone doing a chip change,be carefull of electrostatic discharge,the last thing you want to do is fry electrical components on the boards inside the DME,make sure you are well grounded before ripping into the unit.
