I don't think it's worth voiding your warranty, but to each his own.

are you talking about the intake resister? the thing that tricks your ECU into thinking the air is 30 degrees thats coming in??

check this, its the detail about powerchips now days...



http://www.connact.com/~kgross/FAQ/944faq13.html



actually i just bought one for my own... its a plug and play thing so i only use for special places...

people dont use it because it can harm your engine and lower gas mileage.

powerchip developers claim that the chip does not harm your engine because the chip stays within the ECU and engine regulations, specifications, whatever..


if you want to try it go ahead your one of the very few people who would try it. like me.
than again i have not witness or read anything about someone car being ruined because of the chip....









ooo one of these performance chip threads needs to be deleted
