Thumbs up Cayenne Upsolute Chip review

After driving the Cayenne Turbo for a few weeks with the Upsolute ECU remap, I decided I would let you guys know how I felt.

Well, basically the truck is a new breed. As many 996TT owners know, the Upsolute Chip can add close to, and over 100HP. Now in my situation, It supposedly added around 50-60HP and 60-70TQ. I can definetely feel this added power. When boost hits in my truck , which is now about 500 RPM's less than usual, the truck pulls like a freight train. I have no problems running next to a Z06 from a roll, and I very easily pull normal C5 corvettes. Before this would not be the story.

I believe that Upsolute changed the timing, redline, boost, and some other parameters to make this truck perform to its optimum limit. After I changed my exhaust a few months back, I lost some back pressure resulting in a slight boost cut and more lag. With this ECU upgrade, the truck still has lag, but no cut in boost. The bar gauge immediately jumps to 0.8, where the gauge stops, but we are going to hook it up to the lap top to see what it is really running. We would guestimate around 1.0-1.1 BAR.

For as simple as taking out the ECU is (under the plastic under the hood), and how quickly this procedure can get done, I would strongly suggest doing it to any Cayenne Turbo. Most people do not know that Upsolute is doing Chip Tuning on the Cayenne, as they dont advertise it, but it is a great investment. It is not too pricey, but you WILL feel major gains in the truck.

let me know if yall have any questions.

Harris

Cool any idea if the chip is worth doing for the CS? Looks like only 30hp gain vs 80 on the Turbo

I'm interested also. Is this tune DYI or do you have to send your ECU out?

You can do it either or. In my case one of the authorized dealers shop is not far from me so im going to take the drive down and have it done. Technician told me it will take 2 hours in total. They send your original ecu script to Austria and they send back the new script. Tech told me it will give 87hp and 81tq.

That sounds nice. I have this car in Costa Rica so I would end up having to do the install unless they have some1 down here. Do they have a dlr in Miami?

Seems like they dont have a dealer in Florida but you can always ship them your ecu and theyll overnite it back to you.

Will do, I also had HHR send out a set of 3" primary and secondary cat delete pipes. I just need to decide who I'm going to order the rest of the exhaust from.
