"Can you estimate the price of the chipping only. That seems like the biggest bang for the buck."

There are several folks making good-performing chips, the only one I have experience with is Autothority's chip which is very expensive these days. It has increased in price since I got mine almost 2 years ago. The current price is just under 2K Autothority Website.

As others have wisely said to neophytes like me when I first got my car, modding our cars is a slippery slope of expenses, its easy to get carried away, I know I did. Even so, it sure has been a lot of fun and interesting for me to learn about and mod my 2000 Boxster, my very first Porsche. I was driving today with a big grin on my face and continue to wonder at the performance of this "base" model Boxster (104 mph in third gear, sure got there fast, must be the cold weather....).
