Take it to Wayne Schofield, Chip Wizards, near Rochdale (wherever you live the drive is worth it).
He won't put a new chip in, but will do a live re-map of your exisiting chip (he puts it on his rolling road and then spends several hours reprogramming your chip to make optimum power and torque. Off the shelf chips are generic for a whole series of engines when of course, in reality everyone is slightly different, wears slightly differently and so on. Wayne remaps your car to the best your engine can do.
You won't find anyone who doesn't think Wayne is the best there is. Various Porsche racing teams and BTCC teams use Wayne so he can't be bad.
And he makes a big difference - on my 993 he found a fault with the varioram and rectified it through his laptop while he was at it, he also spotted that the OPC which had just service the car had switched the HT leads on various plugs (remember they have twin plugs per cylinder) and so it wasn't running perfectly. When he first remapped the car it went to 308bhp and 278lb ft of torque with a much stronger torque curve (a later exhaust lowered the bhp to 298 but imporved sound so I lived with it). Made the world of difference in in-gear exceleration.
He's just done my 3.2 too - not quite the gains in the 993 but once again he made it better.
I can't recommend him highly enough.
Wayne is simply the best, above all knows exactly what to do with ALL 993 s ............hes just done my Cup Car and also a few years back my 993 gt2 with a twin plug engine ............hes not expensive and will suss out if ur car needs anything else before he starts .............if u find anyone better please let me know !

He charged less for my 3.2 as it has no electronic gadgets to make his life harder and it's a while since I had the 993 done. I think it was £350. I'm certainly not out by more than £50 although it was 2 years ago.

I'd be really interested in hearing how you get on as I'd like to get my 993 C4 (Varioram) done at some point.

Wayne done my 1994 993 around 4 years ago. Got it to 300 bhp and cant remember the torque but it did increase. As with others on this site he reviewed my cars performance 1st, noticed a flat spot that required a mechanical alteration, made the fix and spent 6 or so hours tuning it. The increases are around 10%, it wont all of a sudden become turbo performance and will more than likely be un-noticable even Wayne informed me of this before he tuned it. However its liable to run a lot more smoother especially when in heavy traffic when on and off the clutch he manages to stop the engine from throbbing. Is it worth it? Definatly, if you have a sports car it may as well be running at its optimum or why buy a sports car. The guy gets 11 out of 10 from me, granted charisma wise hes about a 2 out of 10 but its his brain your paying for.
A rare genius where your car is concerned.

Agree with all - cost me £400 approx 12 months ago - did not take cards though - take many layers of clothing a flask some sandwiches you will be in a wind tunnel like expierence for about 4-6hrs at least took my no vario over 300bhp and increased driveability no end all - all to do with injectors switching on off and intervals etc - he is a genius but dont expect lots of banter !!!!!
well worth it !!
