Chips
My son is buying a chip for his BMW 335 that is suppose to gain over 100 rear wheel torque and over 60+HP because it has twin turbos.
Im a newb when it comes to mods on turbos so people dont flame me
Is there any products out there like this for th 997 Turbo?

335,
I am going to give you some bits of advise that other people sometimes forget to give.
- The option in chips can be endless. Everyone knows that Turbo's, BMW, Porsche, Audi, whoever, came detuned from factory and are capable of much higher boosts.
When selecting a chip, I would advise you NOT to go with the chip that gives you the most boost. I would actually look for the more conservative chips.
Why, because the bigger boosting chips are going to put a lot more wear and tear on the car and is going to push other parts past their threshold.
And if you are going to chip your cars, you might also want to consider the collateral parts for an upgrade, like SAMCO hoses, etc.
In other words, anyone can push the limits of the ECU and give you much more speed. But at what cost? It is certainley not just the cost of the ECU flash.
When I had my Audi S4 Bi-Turbo, I had many friends with the same car. I went with a stage II boost and upgraded hoses, bypass valves, etc. I had some friends that had faster cars with their stage III boosts, and two of them had engine replacements in year two.
So be conservative with your decision. It will benefit you in the long run. Also, don't forget that alot of these guys doing serious mods, own their own garages, etc. So labor and parts are not as much a factor when things break.
