What is it that you do for Powerchip? I think most folks know the basics of what's changed within the mapping but maybe you can give us an idea of what size of company it is, what type of equipment they use, and what types of use/abuse testing they do.
We have been tuning cars (chip upgrades exclusively) since 1991, in Australia. We opened up our North American operation in 2001 based out of Los Angeles, CA.
We employ 8 full-time staff in North America. I am operations manager and have worked with Powerchip for 9 years. We use state-of-art equipment and have the ability to modify certain vehicles that no other company in the World can.
For example, we are one of the very few companies to offer an upgrade for the 1996 993 Porsche 911. This is an example of how we focus on our Porsche range, to make sure we keep up-to-date.
We have developed a number of files for the Boxster engines that vary by octane rating and any other modifications made to the intake or exhaust. Over the years we see everything including supercharged, turbo and even NOS applications. Fun Fun Fun.
More information on our development, testing and other background is in our corporate brochure:
