Regarding the boost you're seeing, a chip alone will not increase the boost. There must be some kind of boost controller to increase the boost. The Autothority chip kit included a jetted banjo bolt that increased the boost as well as the Performance Products chips that were in my car when I bought it. I then switched over to Guru chips with the reliaboost and a stock banjo bolt. If you want, I have a new boost gauge (I think its Autometer) that I never installed. If you want I will sell it to you for $30 shipped, I think it was ~$50 new from SFR. I also have the Perm. Products chips I'll send those for free because I messed up the pins when I removed them. Some of the pins are bent but they are all there and you could probably straighten them out.
Jerad! Hey man, thanks for your help. Any luck selling yours? Hopefully you've changed your mind; that car is awesome.

Sure I'll buy the gauge from you. Will I need to buy anything else to get it working? How about the chips; are they safe to install without any hardware changes, like a boost controller, etc? Send me your paypal or whatever.

Boy, It seems you have a lot of issues with this car. Why don't you ship it out to me for 1 months time. I will fully restore it for you to brand new like condition and send it back free of charge. No I will not except any money for my hard work and parts because I know they are going to be with a wonderful porsche owner. Edit post: You must have some kind of horseshoe up your a$$. Nobody ever gave me anything without any string attached. Good luck, Nice story.

See, now that's the kind of response I expected. I'm from NJ, and nobody gives anybody anything out there except the bird. People are nicer in the midwest. You'd probably get something for free too if you moved out here (not sure where you're from).

It is Autobahn Garage and the owner is Tab Tanner 419 957 7210. He is looking into a Dyno run for a few car's in the Columbus area if your interested. We live in Findlay and that is where his shop is but a few of the guys interested in the Dyno run live in Columbus area.

Cincy, wow what good fortune!

You may have a shimmed wastegate to get those boost levels, assuming the gauge is right. See attached.
