scott at softronic told me that since i had bought his program for the boxsterS recently he would swap me for the program for my C4S at no charge since they are the same price. all he asked is that i flashed the boxster back to stock before trading-in. no problem, i was gonna do that anyway.

flashed the boxster to stock. brought home the C4S. read the original program and sent it to scott over internet. next day he sent me my tuned ECU program which i flashed into my ECU through the OBDII port.

throttle response is better. low and mid-range torque is noticeably higher. power comes on less peaky. should work nicely with planned mods...

engine: IPD plenum + turbowerx headers
suspension: H&R sway bars
trim: front license plugs, driver door plug and painted bumperettes from eric the "plug guy". (thanks eric for turning me on to the painted bumperettes option. they will look almost as good as an expensive euro bumper for lots less $$$.)

wish i could afford PSS9s, but gotta save some money for michelin PS2s later this year.

 

Thats one of my mods im going to do this winter is a ECU Flash and I have the Plenum Intake coming anyday now which should be a sweet combo.

And am on the fence with the PSS9 as well. I think im going to do it . Once you start modding its all ova hehe

 

you should talk to scott at softronic. he doesn't try to charge extra for the race gas or stock program. his software modifies the maps in a way that scales from 93 octane up to race gas. and, he includes the stock program in the base price.

 

looks interesting...any comparison test on Softronic vs Revo vs Giac vs FVD?

 

only on paper:

S/W HP TQ $$$$
FVD 10 11 1295
GIAC 10-20 10-15 995
REVO 10-20 12-18 899
softronic 20 13 895

this is information gathered from public web sites.

 

Is scott still offering the durametric software with the flash like he did for the cayman crowd.

 

you get a durametric USB/OBDII cable. i didn't get any durametric software from scott. but, durametric has free software download. i meant to ask him if that would work. i'll email him and find out...

 

ok. i spoke with scott. he said any order from 6speed'ers that stated "vick57 sent me from 6speed" he will include the $247.00 durametric software/cable setup for free.

 

Do you have the website for softronics? I am very interested in this mod but I think it might be a better idea to get the IPD Plenum first. Either way, I do plan to get my ECU flashed in the near future.

You did this with a lap top?

 

That's a nice deal!!

 

I added the Softronic tune last year (Scott's a great guy, and very patient I might add) along with the RSS plenum and the Schnell straight tube intake. Together these made a nice difference - sharper throttle response, no flat spots, car feels quicker (subjective I realize) and pulls stronger. Doesn't turn the car into a TT, but I like the extra grunt and I'm happy with these mods.
Just installed some FisterD cans (thanks Darin!) so have the full choir on board ... no need for a stereo now

 

Does anyone have a LWFW and the ECU upgrade? I am getting my car back today with my new Spec Stage II clutch and LWFW. I would like to know what the car feels like with the LWFW and the ECU upgrade.
