I have the PDK AND ECM tune for 991.1 in my 2016 TTS.

Aside from the fact that I feel the Sport mode shift (and running) points are about 500 RPM's too high in most gears, no issues to speak of.

What are you experiencing?

 

Sam was good enough to give me a test drive of the early version...I only left it in the car for 2 days then removed it.
I found it to be somewhat over the top performance wise for MY street driving characteristics. It simply held gears too long for my preference and seemed to want to keep the rpms always in the upper range.
I realize there have been changes since the version I tried but to be honest I don't find the need to change the stock PDK characteristics...at least for MY street driving

 

Hey guys,

If you have issues please let us know and send an email so we can work on if there are issues.

As for custom requests like RPM's being too high also email in and we will update maps to suit what you guys are looking for. PDK maps are hard because everyone has a different driving feel and preference.

Thanks!

I just wanted to say thanks to Sam at ByDesign and the guys at Cobb, they have been great and i’m sure that they will solve this problem.

 

Wow! I was saying the same thing, that the gears were being held too long, and the shift points were just too high in most gears, then I see the post from Cobb saying that they would dial it in on an ad personam basis....too much! I'm going to reach out to them and dial mine in...wow wow wow!!!

 

 

If you didn't do the relearn, how would go about it after having put a few thousand KM's on it since the PDK software upload?

 

 

Will try that, thanks!

 

and, just in case you pull a stupid like I did and didn't realize it, you need to have the car idling when you do the relearn.

It made a huge difference and I'm 100% happy with the PDK tune

 

Well, they (Cobb) reached out to me, responding to my e-mail to them the other day. They were very quick and extremely responsive, as was Sam@ BD.

I sent them a detailed e-mail with the things I liked and disliked about the PDK tune, and they promised me a new tune yesterday, which they sent.

I immediately loaded it and (patiently) did the relearn procedure and all I can say is wow! The PDK shines now! They lowered the shift point RPM's in sport, raised it in normal, gave me everything I wished for, including a bunch of features from the sequential map, incorporated into the Sport map...and now I have the perfect PDK map! I couldn't be happier!

Thank you Mitch/ Sam and the team at Cobb!! You are all awesome and awesome to deal with!!

 

Anytime! Glad Jon got you all sorted out!

If anyone needs anything from us please let us know. We will most likely add this style of map to the firmware so that it is there in the future for guys that want this same thing.

Great idea! It works so well...and is just the perfect blend of maps for someone who wants to cruise and be more in the powerband, but not screaming along while on cruise control.

It's how the car should have been equipped from Porsche, but couldn't be.

I think you guys really nailed it on this one Mitch!

 

Well, it has been almost 7 days since I got my dialed in PDK from Cobb, who did it in under 8 hours from the time they got my e-mail, and I am loving the new software!!

It has everything I could ask for, including reversing the upshift/ downshift on the main shifter, to make it perform like the GT3. It works so well in normal and sport, that I have a whole newfound love for the car.

It's more aggressive than the OEM PDK software, less aggressive than the original Cobb Sport PDK, yet still keeps the car in its powerband in sport, all the time, and it shift into 7th at 75 MPH, my cruising speed to stay under the radar. It's as perfect as perfect can be!

Thanks again to Cobb and Sam for going that extra mile and completely appeasing and already happy customer!
