Hey there:
I bought an Upsolute chip for my car awhile ago. I havent had it installed yet (shop couldnt do it, I left the country, etc etc). Anyway, their site claimed ~20hp/tq. I am planning on dynoing my car so that I can do a comparison.
There are alot of chiptuners out there, but the best would be a custom chip. Talk to speedybenz, he happens to know alot about this subject. Basically, the shop will dyno your car and make adjustments to maximize your car's performance. With a high-throughput chip, there is less of a chance of maximizing due to the performance variation of the same type of car.
Good luck,
DLS

Porsche Turbo Stage 4, Cayenne S ... gone C43, C32, ML55 & Ducati 999.
I did H&S to my old 98' C43, and is defenatelly worth it that I have done now to my C32.

My C43 with H&S and K&N filter was running really quick, and the imporevement in torque was awesome. The biggest change was 3th speed, it was notable quick!
For that there is a procedure to remove the ECU, you ship it to Germany, they downloand your original program, depending your engine tollerances, and optimize. Finally they uploand the new program.
The total operation takes between a week and 9 days, and is I gues $1,200 with shiping.... but is defenatelly recommended and worth it!
If you need help let me know
