supercharged so that can be improved with chip only without a pulley...
or with chip AND pulley...zoom!
Cars are rediculously fast...my plain-jane turbo is already stupidly fast for driving on the street and it's only about as fast as the stock S600.

yeah, the turbo would probably leave the line better w/AWD but...
the S600 would be faster up top. That guy ran 12.4 stock and magazine times for the turbo are about 12.4...think I could probably get a better 60' though with AWD but brake-torquing with an auto means no botched clutch dumps.

well, as opposed to X50....
which was just too expensive.
Really don't need to chip it...it's fine the way it is...already a handful on twisty roads if I get the throttle wrong and make a request for more boost than I meant to.
The two problems for me with chipping it are 1. It's leased and 996TT chips run $3-4k and 2. It's leased and has a warranty which protects me from repairs I couldn't possibly afford...if I chip, void the warranty, I'm in trouble there.
Chipping a Porsche is MUCH harder than an Audi in that there is more data stored that makes it obvious to a tech if the car has been chipped and ONE mistake and you've permanently let Porsche know the car was chipped and they won't help you if you need to replace that $35k engine.
