Bav, I hope your car is faster and making a lot more hp/tq then it did. I'm not trying to rain on your parade (too much at least). I just put very little stock into people's butt dyno claims whoever that may be. Some people may have no problem basing their decisions off what others say, but me, I like hard factual data that's not biased.

How Can You Tell If It's Been Chipped

I bought a second hand 2000 986 and the guy I bought it from said that he thought the guy before him had it chipped but he wasn't sure. Is there any way to tell without pluging the ECU into a PC with the software. By that I mean do they put some sort of sticker somewhere?

Thanks

I understand the skepticism.



I have not gotten a chance to really try her today. I dug her out of snow (was a nightmare) but I was afraid of the roads being icy to take her to speed.




Still, feels like there is extra pulling power in 5th gear...shrug.
