I have a gemballa ECU and a stock ECU...I am looking at Stock ECU, but it doesnt say porsche or turbo or anything else other than 996 on the part number...does anyone know if there is anyway to know if an ECU has been flashed...I am thinking I have an unknown flash on this one and the Gemballa one in the car?

What type of BAR should I be pulling with K16s max...1.0 BAR? or more?

 

If you want to be 100% sure your ecu is stock. I can arrange to have it flashed with a stock file for you.

 

.7 bar max with k16's

 

.7 max flashed? or .7 max stock

I am seeing .08 all the time and .09 in cold weather with K16 and Gemballa ECU

 

my car from what i know is stock and last night i saw 0.9bar... maybe i have something on the car ? or is normal ?

P.S the car is tiptronic.

 

yours is flashed alex... stock is .6-.7

 

Whats the best K16 flashed? 1.0 possible?

 

A flashed k16 car will run 1.0 bar. Anything over that is overworking the turbos. At 1.0 bar you should be around 500 fwhp.

 

Just some clarification...when folks say they saw .9 or 1.0 or whatever is this sustained? I mean is this what you get in third or fourth WOT? If not, it is just a spike and not representative of what your car is really boosting. Stock K16s will get you .6-.7 with spikes above that when conditions (e.g., environmental) are favorable. With a flash you can get much higher...the question is when do the K16s run out of power...most agree it is about 1.0-1.1. So even though they might boost >1.1, the power is not there. BTW it is not all about the boost....

 

second to third gear WOT when i saw 0.9
