The 300 bhp chips used a 3.0 bar FPR and factory modifications to the WG (shims), and have “104 okt” (104+ octane) hand written on the labels.

The Canadian cars came with a single chip set installed in the DME/KLR with tamper proof seals. These chips were equivalent to the Escort sprint (275) chips. But - the rumor is that many of the Canadian Cups were found with drilled cycling valves, jetted banjo bolts, tampered WGs, etc...

Easy to tell the Cup DME/KLRs – they have a black label on them and the seal on the edge which says Type CUP CAR. The part numbers also end in – 05 for both units.

I'm surprised Porsche would have 3 chips available but only used 1 in Canada.

Interesting that the Cup mechanics were the predecessors for cheating in club racing.
