Powerchip

[CALI 1]

NickCats not exactly sure but here is what some of my research has mentioned.
I think they all re-map F/A mixture, rev points, limiters and also help maximize the gains that can be achieved with other mod’s being utilized. Form other forums including this one it seems that GIAC is also popular.
Many to choose to from so good luck....

How is this chip different from the Jet Performance Chip. They do the exact same thing. Re-map everything. Jet is allot cheaper.

Thanks for the info, CALI...


Here is what I can gather :

GIAC

Claim 10-15 hp gain ( 1997 - 1999 Boxster 2.5 )

For optimum power gains the software must be coupled with an Evolution Motorsports cold air intake.

$795 ( Imagine Auto )

Powerchip

Claim 14-18 hp gain ( 1997 - 1999 Boxster 2.5 )

$690

Jet Performance Chip

Only Available for 2000 MY

No mention of HP gains on web site for Boxster

$400

I sent them an e-mailyesterday and this is what they said. Hp and Tq is almost the same.

Question: Does jet performance offer any ECU tuning for the Porsche Boxster 986 year
models 97-2004? My fellow Bosxter owners are very interested.

ECU 65002:
We do have an ECU upgrade available for your application. Since your ECU
does not have an easily replaceable chip we do require that the ECU be sent
to us for programming. Our ECU upgrade kit contains everything needed to
pack and ship the ECU to us and includes complete instructions, ECU location
chart and our programming specification sheet that you fill out so we know
what upgrades have been done to the vehicle. Next day air return shipping is
also included in the price. The part # to fit your vehicle is 65002, which
retails for $399.00. The kit is available through JET directly or through
any of our dealers.
Once we receive your ECU it will be programmed according to the vehicle
specification sheet to optimize the fuel and timing curves for your specific
modifications. For best results the ECU upgrade should be done after you
complete all of your other upgrades so we can program specifically for them.
We also recommend using at least 89 octane fuel due to the modified ignition
advance. Horsepower gains will vary depending on how the vehicle is
modified, but average gains are 12-15 horsepower to the drive wheels. If you
have any questions you can reach our tech department toll free at
800-535-1161. Our hours are M-F, 8-5 PST.
