... "chipping" is not the technically correct term, but doing a quick Google analysis of keywords you'll find that chipping is much more prominent than remapping, tuning, etc. That's why we still use it.

Also, on the newer Motronic boxes you can upload through the OBD-II port, but not so on the first gen 986 and 996. For those cars originally the chip had to be removed, read, remapped and finally resoldered back on.
Through some very unique custom software, we can now just connect the ECU box to our special computer, download, remap and upload the new data without having to physically open the box.



Happy Boxstering,
