EPL Flash

So yesterday I called Tony from EPL about tuning my stock turbo. This morning my flash cable showed up and I got started. 4 minutes later (yes, 4 minutes) the tune had loaded onto the car and I was up and running. I was able to leave my car stock for a grand total of 5 days. The first thing that you'll notice after the flash is that part throttle normal drivability is improved 1000%. The car is no longer jerky when coming off the throttle. Once you get into boost the torque hits so much harder than stock it was scary the first time. I saw a few brief spikes to 1.1 and 1.2 bar and it holds 1.0 until redline. It delivers such an abrupt shove to your back when the turbos spool that it probably seems faster than it actually is. So far my passengers think it feels faster than my Corvette that trapped 125mph. The Porsche might be faster through the first 2 or 3 gears anyways. It does feel stronger than my 120mph Mustang though. I might have to take it to the track to see what it can do. I think this car will need coilovers and brakes before I add anymore power. This is how the car should have come from the factory. I would like to see how it does against a stock 997TT now.

Big thanks to Tony and Dave from EPL. Excellent customer service

If you arent flashed already, GET IT DONE!!!!

Thanks for the kind words guys! Glad you are all enjoying the cars. Just keep in mind we always leave you an upgrade path if you want to upgrade the turbos later! So once you get used to the power, we'll credit your tune towards a set of upgraded turbos and injectors...

Tony is the man! Not only does he do some wicked tuning, but he deals with my constant questions and ****. Trust me he gets some VERY random ones. Did you know he didn't know what an Emu was!?!??!?!

60-80hp would be ballpark depending on octane and assuming your car is healthy.
