Rennsport chip success story
Ok, so there I was the other morning, drunk, with rubber shoes, a speedo, and surgical gloves (no, this doesn't involve a small animal or power tools, just static avoidance), and predictably I experienced a moment of uncertainty. Thanks to Steve Weiner's emergency phone advice, I was able to complete the transplant of the rennsport chip ('95) and I'm pleased to report that the patient is doing well. After regaining consciousness and some of my clothing, I took her out for a spin. Impression? Throttle response is noticeably improved and the hole below 4k rpm has been partially filled. In short, IMO, more than worth the $$. Thanks Steve! Due to a rare instance of good judgement, I've decided not to post pics.
