Hello,


So as of recently we have been pretty quiet on the forums. Porsche for us is a small show only consisting of a few engineers so it has been pretty non stop. For those current customers that have dealt with me know the hours I work, so there hasn't left a lot of time for any updates, but there has been a TON of Porsche stuff going on here at Cobb.

First bit of news is that we have gotten a second Porsche for R&D. We purchased a white 997.2 PDK. We use this car for development so current 997.2 Turbo owners be on the lookout for some new updates in the near future! I am looking forward to it!





Next up we have a new Calibrator that is going to be full time helping me in Porsche. I will still be around all day every day, nothing will change now we just have another person to help if for some reason I cannot not quick enough. So for those that liked our customer service it is going to get better! His name is Jon Hebbeln and he has been a calibrator for Cobb for a few years. He will be focusing on getting new OTS maps out for all Porsche platforms, so it is good news for all of our Porsche customers! If anyone needs anything at all please feel free to email him at any time and he will be sure to get back to you. Jon.Hebbeln@cobbtuning.com. My focus will remain on adding additional features to the AP so it will be a great year for current customers and new as our upgrades are just a firmware update away once released, and no charge!

Ok onto some more of the custom work that we have developed. Last week we were able to start on custom code stuff and were able to get out BOTL (Boost Off The Line) code tested and working! So what that means is that next month we should have this update available for our 997.1 Turbo customers! We will do some more testing as this is a big part of any of our stuff, but a good test will be TX2K this month

That is a log of the car at 8psi at the line. The RPM is selectable as well the severity of the fuel cut. The amount of timing is also controllable. Really a great feature for those of you that drag race and need a bit more off the line. This will be a Protuner only feature at release so if you would like this feature added to your map contact your tuner and they can set it up, or you can email us and we can add it to your current map. I would caution those of you to not make this too aggressive as it can damage cats pretty quickly haha. So be on the lookout for this release next month!

Next we have also been working on getting new maps added to the OTS library. We have 100 octane maps for the 997.1 Turbo that will also be ready for next month’s release! Be on the lookout for a slew of other OTS maps, many will be great for those that are looking to make a bit more power!


That is all the info I will share for now. We have another huge thing we are working on for the 997.1 Turbo guys, but we need to verify a bit more but for now it is working awesome! It will be a first in the stock ECU Porsche world!!


Thanks so much and if anyone needs anything at all please don’t hesitate to ask!

Love Cobb (on all platforms)

:thumbs:

 

Good stuff Mitch. I'm looking forward to release of some of the new features you guys are working on. It's been awesome working with you/Cobb thus far.

 

Haha, funny you mention that. I'm looking to buy a new Daily Driver for myself and the requirements it needs are:
1) turbo
2) awd
3) Cobb must support it

 

GTR!

My buddy Eric just bought a new 2015 Premium for $80K and the car had only 10 miles on it. Then he went to Cobb yesterday for a tune and midpipe.

 

Haha that's what I was thinking but then it's a slippery slope and will quickly not be a daily driver
$80k is a smoking deal for a 15 premium, wow

 

BOTL is good, right in time for spring !

 

+1 for Mitch - dude knows his ****

 

what the hell... 80k for a 15 premium... which dealer.. haha

 

Long Beach. Obviously it was a lot car. Dark grey. Based on his post at GTR Life it was the best deal ever on a GTR but my guess is that they continue doing this until 2015's are gone.

 

BOTL will work with 6mt as well? or just auto?

 

Works for manual.

Mitch

 

new stuff for the 997.1...can't wait!
