Upsolute Chip

I did use the search function, and did not find anything more recent than 2004.

A friend of mine suggested a chip from Upsolute. He has used these chips on other cars and vouches for their quality. But he's never chipped a pooch before, so cannot say how it will work for this car.

I know that upgrades can get expensive and not produce a lot of gain. What they are claiming for a Boxter 2.5 is 220 hp / 263nm torque for $349.00, which seems like a reasonable price for a 10% increase in horsepower.

Any thoughts?

If these claims are true then I would do it...But companys dyno claims of power improvement are rarely accurate. I couldnt find on listed for the 2.5L.
