Vigilante1, something has a little help somewhere. Have someone read your ECU settings.

You don't know until you have the real numbers . That will tell you HOW the engine makes the power. It could be as simple as your gauge is wrong in inaccurate. It also could be a nice ECU tune. Before you make changes to anything , get the base line ie find out what you've got. You can buy the tool for a few hundred dollars. Get one specifically for the Porsche. It's software but they ship you a specific custom made cable. It will be worth it!!

well, it def does feel like alot of power. Not to keep compairing, but my vette is about 3000lbs, and makes 500/500 at the wheels and this car feels faster. So I doubt the gauge is off. When you say they can ship you the software and cable, who is the "they"?

I have that cable (got it with my EPL flash) but hows that going to do him any good? He needs a durametric...which I haven't gotten around to buying.

Can't check/log anything with the cable you get with the tunes, at least not that I know of.

What software are you using? I guess I've never tried, just assumed I couldn't. Or are you just using the program Protomotive provided?

Do the new EPL/Softronic tunes up the boost even further?
My otherwise stock car with the EPL K16 flash hits 1.1 bar on a regular basis.

Hi,It was in my Protomotive tune with their cable..
After Protomotive tuned my car, he had me do a data log to make sure it was at its best.
