When I put the cheap aftermarket headers and a twin chamber exhaust on my 2.5 boxster, I could feel the difference and it gave me about 17+ ft lbs of torque.
The price was about the same as the sale price of the chip you've mentioned above, but I got a nice growl out of it sound-wise.
Eeking out a smattering of additional HP and torque from our motors is really expensive. I guess this is because Porsche did a good job of engineering it in the first place.
I've thought of chipping my motor as well, but then decided to put the cash in the bank and save up for a Raby race prepared 3.6 or 3.8 when mine eventually blows from an IMS failure.
If you have no aspirations of dropping a new motor into your box, then chipping it might be the way to go. It's easily reversible with removal and a quick reflash for resale, and you might get a couple of hundred out of the chip after you sell the car.
