Hello, just picked up a 2002 turbo and I have a full set of 5558 turbos to put on the car.
question is what is a great tune to use, so many options and are the Cobb worth the money?
specially the stage 2 stage which is around 6k worth it?
Any thought would be appreciated!
best

Pic for attention

 

I can only speak to my experience. I've worked with both Sam @ ByDesign and the team @ BBI. Both use the Cobb platform (which is awesome) and both exceeded my expectations in every sense of the word. The Cobb OTS maps are garbage, do yourself a favor and reach out to either party for an amazing custom tune.

 

What is the Cobb platform? Also OTS?
I’m new to all of this

 

Cobb is a tuning device, Sam does custom tunes loaded to your car via the Cobb programmer. The other popular remote tuners are Markski at markskituning.com and Todd K at protomotive. Not sure who Aim uses for their tunes if you live in the north east.

 

Aim is ESMotor and "OTS" is "off the shelf", generic tunes for stock cars....nothing you can use.

 

Markski tune, customized and you pretty much get life long support. He is a great tuner and person.

+1. Hard to judge which tune is the best. But I'm also very satisfied with Markski. Marek gives excellent support.

 

I used Marek from Markski Tuning also. My car came with another tune that was garbage. We took it back to stock and started over. It is a world of difference better. Marek never tried to upsell me on anything I didn't need. Just a great guy who knows 996tt.

 

I've heard nothing but great reviews on a Marski tune.

 

Markski mafless tune all the way.

 

I have a custom tune by Sam @ ByDesign. He couldn’t be more helpful or more of a gentleman. The car has run flawlessly since day one.

 

not much new under the sun. but my inexpert advice would be to go with kevin, sam, or marek for their during as well as after tune support.

all else being equal.

 

Marski is a top notch guy and tuner. He goes out of his way to help get your car dialed in.

 

AIM Performance tuned my 996 to 700 hp on pump gas using Mygenius. I believe Emre (@tuningbae) did the tune. Spoke with Joseph Santos (owner of AIM) when the car was shipped to me and he sent me a new map for the lower octane fuel here in AK. Great support, amazing tune. I haven't had any issues. AIM takes the Porsche platform and elevates it to another level. Check out the video below. . .ever seen a Porsche try to fly to the moon?

 

^ funny cars! nice.
