Chip Wars...Let the Games Begin!

I have been a forum "lurker" for over a year and purchased my 88 Carrera last October. I recently installed a Fabspeed pre muffler and a Monty two in one out.

Drove this for several weeks and noted more throttle response and smoother idling. Today I installed a Steve W. chip. Steve made it for the above modifications, 93 octane and raised the redline to 6850. When we took the old chip out we found it to be an Autothority chip (911.020.200.20). No one understands why it has what appears to be a Porsche parts number. The chip must be at least 10 years old (PO didn't know he had one).

In my opinion Steve's chip made a dramatic improvement in acceleration and throttle response. I have not been able to really test it above 3d gear yet. It REALLY moves between 1st and third up to 80mph!

Thanks Steve!

Too much negative vibes lately to participate in this one. It is great that you are happy. We should just leave it at that, rather than re-hash what has been discussed many, many, many times before.

Perhaps a previous owner copied an Autothority chip and overwrote the stock chip.

Do a search for Steve W on this board or www.911chips.com

You won't be sorry you contacted him.


Ben I am glad you are as happy with his chip as I am. Mark
