This weekend I finally took the plunge and installed the RS Barn stage 1 chip. I was quite worried about this, cause I have never fiddled with a car's computer, but it was quite easy and the only hard part was getting the DME frame out from the foot well. After installing the chip, I thought I might as well do the Airbox mod. I finished that on Monday night, but I didn't get to drive the car until this morning.

What a difference!! The car just feels so much more enthusiastic now, it actually reminds me of the way my 964 felt...it has a real sense of urgency about it. I am not sure what the difference is in HP, but it just feels so much better.

Another satisfied RS Barn customer!

welcome to the club. I really hoped to hook up my g tech and do a couple before and after runs to get some type of measurement on each mod. Never got around to it though.

you did well in choosing the rs barn chip - it works better with the airbox mod than the other chips

if you did the airbox mod the way dave and i worked it out, used a K&N filter, are on at least 93 octane fuel (ron+mon/2), and are at sea level, you should see about 22-23hp (depending on things like the condition of your engine, etc)

it isn't a straight total of the chip(15+) and airbox mod(11.8) as they stand alone, but it's pretty close, and definitely the best bang for your buck

LOL...you guys are funny!!!

I think I am on step 6. Now I just need more money...I'll have to divert some more money into the 968 Maintenance account. Oooo that sounds like the addict speaking.

There is just so much I want. 996 3 spoke airbag wheel, new castor blocks, Complete RS Barn exhaust, braces....and dare I even think about it....creating a Turbo S replica.

Someone please save me from myself!
