RE: More horse power

you could re-map the vehicle's current ECU... or if you want to buy a newone... but you can do your job by remapping the current ECU... is it a 2.5L?

RE: More horse power

The ECU can be remapped through the OBD port with GIAC software. It is not something you are going to be able to do yourself. I think our flashes run about $895 for the boxster. Good for 8-10hp.

RE: More horse power

Theres nothing you can do that is very cheap to add horsepower. Exhaust and chipping don't add that much and are not that cheap. We supercharged one. Added about 100hp.
