Went with Weltmeister chips and shim instead of Autothority Chips and banjo because a couple of cars in the area at that time with Autothority setup lost head gaskets.

Didn't really get into hp upgrades until I got the 90 944 Turbo. It was already hopped up quite a bit when I got it and scalded dog quick too. It had lightened knife edge crank, aluminum flywheel, lightened balanced K27 turbo, Oringed heads, pauter rods, nikasiled block, wrapped headers, Autothority MAF and chips custom for the K27 turbo, Manual Boost controller, and a wideband 02 with EGR temps. Disconnected the manual boost controller and it didn't make over 17psi of boost and dynoed 330 rwhp. But that wasn't the good part, with the lightened balanced turbo it would start making big power by 2500 rpm! That's what made it scalded dog quick. However, didn't get the lean on partial throttle issue fixed until it was too late and pre-detonation had already bent wrist pins and ovaled the girdle, it was starting to get rod knock so attempted to rebuild it. Picked the wrong builder, was not happy with it and sold "as is" for the cost of the rebuild parts when started falling apart after only 4500 miles.
