identifying a "chip"
Hi All,
When I bought my 964 a few months ago I was told that a previous owner installed a "chip" to increase performance. He had no idea or info on what this chip is or what it really did to increase power.I've already replaced the "holy" air cleaner back to stock after hearing this made no difference & only added some sound. I've also read that some of the chips out there do nothing & can cause more problems than they are worth.
How can I identify this chip and is this something only found by hooking up to diagnostics?
Thanks much

where you at Alan? I looked at a very similiar 964 a few months ago as well. I also have an unidentified chip, so this topic interested me as well. Fingers crossed it's a Wonger

so my paperwork states it is from Powerhaus during one of their upgrade packages including the MAF, test pipe, bored out throttle body, PH Performance EPROM etc. Anyone have any experience with these chips?
