Here's the deal. The upsolute chip will get you some nice gains (60-70hp) and with exhaust and maybe intake...close to 70-85 hp. The problem is that if you ever decide to go further you start all over again (with a differnt program/chip). So you have several options...GIAC has an ECU program that can be flashed onto the ECU without removing it and they have a flashloader that will allow you to switch between multiple programs. Kevin @Ultimatemotorwerks has a programmer that does that as well. The advantage to Kevin's is the program is in the programmer...no need to remove the ECU or go somewhere for the flash and he supports multiple options/upgrades. So Upsolute may be just fine for you....but if you decide you want more later....then you will pay.

What is the cost of the chip?

Most likely something as simple as a microswitch.

A PST2 or PIWIS will likely narrow the problem down.

Where are you located? Do you know an independent or a friendly dealer with a PST2 or PIWIS?

I am in Central OHIO. I guess I can try the local Porsche store, unless someone has a suggestion.

Can you remove the ugly front bumper extensions(the two abs plastic bumpers) without leaving a hole? If so how do I do it.

Thanks

Sameer - I sent you a PM.

I am getting the rear spoiler failure light. Spoler does not go up. What should I do?

Thanks

David

Under what conditions?

What model year car?

Standard, or aftermarket spoiler?

2001 996 turbo, total stock car, no mods, when I hit the spoiler button or drive above 70 mph. It does not go up. I get the light.

Thanks

Yes, the RMS (Rear Main Seal) is the flywheel side crankshaft seal.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Great, just 16000 miles on it. My warranty expires this December, I hope it does not fail again.

I had my 2002 996 in for an oil change and the dealer replaced the crank seal and also put on new flywheel bolts.

Is thes the RMS problem I read about just under a different name?

Thanks
