1996 993tt powerchip?
Hey guys
I just spotted this chip by Powerchip Inc. Does anyone have any feedback on this chip. It sounds good.
"Datasheets
Your Porsche 993 911 Twin Turbo 6sp 3.6 utilizes a Surface Mount Chip (SMT) – a very sophisticated and powerful memory device which is fitted to many late model (post 1996) vehicles. Because of its complexity, the SMT style chip must be 'flash' programmed in the same way as the dealership (don't worry - we do this for you when we recieve your ECU), similarly to when servicing the vehicle. The ECU itself is very easy to remove, and should be sent overnight to be modified at Powerchip and then return overnight to you (we use FedEx Priority Overnight Service). Detailed instructions (including photos) are also provided to ensure the ECU can be removed easily from the vehicle. Once complete, and re-installed into the vehicle, you are back on the road to enjoy your enhanced performance – as soon as possible.
In standard form, the 993 911 Twin Turbo 6sp 3.6 produces 400 hp and 400 lb.-ft.
Powerchip has a range of chips to suit your car, which can increase it's power to between 448 hp and 460 hp, and it's torque to between 448 lb.-ft and 460 lb.-ft.
The price of the Powerchip is USD $1,990.00."

"WHICH CAN INCREASE". yup it can do that -- for 2k i wouldn't waste my money on this. if you want to go faster drop the center of gravity on our cars and press the accelerator more is what i would say.

talk to Kevin at UMW if you want to chip your turbo...he is the resident expert...many have made claims that have not been proven in terms of power.

Look VERY closely before making a move on an ECU mod...

"Guys
From my research, I was under the understanding that the '96 ECU was not chippable and one needed to use a '97 ECU. Or am I wrong? "
A few tuners have figured out to tune a 96 ECU... Kevin among them. Upgrading an ECU is just the first step down the slippery slope... that's why I would recommend Kevin's tuning... he can help you fall down that slope with other compatible parts that will work together.
