Since the launch of our VR Tuned brand in January 2014, we have been making quite a stir in the tuning world. Our OBDII ECU flashing device and ecu bench flash tunes have been producing incredible results in the Porsche Turbo, BMW M Series, and Mercedes markets. Many of these vehicles are pre 2013 which allows for such read and write access. However most of the newer vehicles such as the BMW F Series, Porsche 991, Mercedes CLA have strong read encryption to not allow tuners to create the additional power and performance you crave. The new VR Tuned OBDII Auto Flash is the answer! The VRT Auto Flash is a simple OBDII dongle that loads pre-calculated maps to your ECU which alter the cars fueling and timing along with improving upon the automatic shifting of the PDK, DSG, or other paddle shift transmissions.

This completely new product allows the end user to program the vehicle through the OBDII port in just a couple minutes without having a PC, laptop, or internet connection. There is no need to read out or send any vehicle data as everything is stored in the control unit that is mated to your VIN. It can be used as many times as needed to flash the car to stock or with the performance mapping.

This new programming tool gets around the vehicles anti tuning security on the ECU. The VR Tuned Auto Flash is vehicle specific and is really designed for automatic transmission cars like the Porsche PDK or VAG DSG transmissions. Providing increased engine power and 50% faster gear shifting along with speed limiter removal where applicable. The VR Tuned Auto Flash is the only engine and gearbox tuning solution available for some models. The module uses a 64 bit processor for ultra fast programming which enables both engine and gearbox tuning to take place in under 2 minutes.


What about performance and safety:

• The OBDII flash adjusts fueling and timing. (For boosted cars, this is not changed. Our Plug and Play Tuning Box handles boosted cars.)
• The mapping works in accordance with factory knock and engine sensors.
• With changes to ignition and fueling, the car has improved throttle response, torque, and mid-range pull.
• VR Tuned flash improves paddle shifting car shifts.
• As tested on our own vehicles, we KNOW these work and your satisfaction is guaranteed!

How does it work:

• The module plugs into your port and following some simple instructions, it flashes the ECU.
• After the flash has been done, you can remove it from the car for a stealth look.
• You will notice a change to the vehicles performance instantly. The file learns and adapts over the course of 10-100 miles.

Biggest selling features are:

• Undetectable by dealers.
• Does not change the ECU flash counter.
• Does not change the file size of the ECU map.
• Bypass anti tuning without having to remove the ECU.
• Have warranty concerns, flash it back to stock!
• Did the dealer update your vehicle firmware, reflash the ECU again!

Where are the numbers? None of your other tunes on your site have them either.

 

Numbers are not always present because its more about the improved driveability. Some people dont have dynos to show real world numbers and simply use basic calculations to change the tables and then give you what a BHP number would be. Some people think that real world is PBox times only and if they improve their 0-60 or 1/4 mile, then the product did what they desired. What matters end of day is the gratification you have and you feel. With that speech here are some numbers LOL.

So right now my 991 Turbo has our new headers installed and exhaust with high flow cats. What I did was run the car back to back with the VR Tuned Auto Flash on and off. I compared the numbers in both standard and sport mode. Since the VRT AF changes the torque limiter, gives the car a bit more fueling and timing, the low end really gains making the power a bit more linear as it felt.

You can see the comparison with Sport Mode on. There was ample cooling on the car with fans and time in between runs to not have an affect on the EGT making the turbos pull timing. The 2 things that suck is 91 octane and its getting warmer here in AZ! So here are the differences. The solid line is without the VRT AF flashed. The 2 dotted lines represent Sport Mode runs with the VRT AF installed. The dotted line with more space in it has a larger gain initially so not sure if that was how I rolled into the throttle or that the 15 mins between the 2 sport runs had left over EGT temps higher. But you can see that compared to the other VRT AF flashed smaller dotted run, they run the same course with torque and HP at about 4000rpm.



Here is a comparison with Standard Mode. You can see the Torque is increased over the non VRT AF flash run. Its also a bit smoother curve. Since this is standard mode, there is no variable of the EGT temps in place.



Here is a comparison of the standard and sport mode with the VRT AF.

 

Here is an article about TCU Tuning and the PDK you should find interesting http://www.vrtuned.com/tuning/why-tc...is-beneficial/

 

Do you foresee S and non-S models having the same peak power, or does the S still have an ultimate advantage?

 

Good question. Since I have a non S, that is all I have had a chance to test with. However comparing how the 997.2 Turbo and Turbo S both got to the same results when ECU flashed, this is probably the case too. There will soon be a Tuning Box available for it like we have it for the Panamera.

 

Good to know. I'm on the fence with picking up a 991TT and, if so, not sure if the S is worth the extra $$$ since I don't feel a "need" for PCCB or PDCC. Since I'd probably end up tuning anyway, knowing that the ultimate power levels would me the same would help make my decision much easier.

 

That is how I justified the configuration and not the S. Wheels, suspension, tuning, all would change. I also picked things that would have good resell in the car like the centerlocks, sport seats, red seat belts, sport chrono.

 

Guys, Check out the regular 991 forum. Looks like there isn't much data.

Did some research and did you guys really just rebrand the Zeus dongle (zeusflash.com)?

Lmao I'm pretty confident they don't even do full calibrations or even full map flashes for this car.

Be careful what you buy guys..

That being said.. Still waiting for a real flash for the 991 Turbo so I can trade in my Panamera..

 

Never heard of them. Might be another reseller of the manufacture.

Confirmed. Just a reseller like us.

 

Is this a Softronic program Dan?
Are you still supporting their tuning software. Most customers were fairly happy with that product for the 997. I'm getting a 991 & will be interested in a software tuning upgrade.

 

Thank you for your question. This product is engineered, built, and created from a manufacture in Europe. This is not a Softronic product.
