no chips for early cars. check the tech section on this site. all the possible engine mods are listed. unless you come up with something creative, then let us know. but check that out first.

fyi- you're unlikely to ever see anymore 150hp out of that engine without forced induction and still be able to drive it on the street. just to give you an idea what to expect.

thks, i wasnt sure if it could be chipped or not.
i dont expect to get too much HP out of the car, just minor things to get a little.

another question
ive read about ppl putting on a bigger throttle body, say from an audi 5000. will the porsche boot for the intake fit over this throttle body, or others?

This is pointless, especially if it is done alone.

yup, to give you an idea i added one on a car with just higher compression, a header, and a better flowing exhaust and i didn't feel any difference. it sounds a little neater when both butterflies are open but that was about it.

keep searching.
