My 997 Turbo went nuts? Help!

Guys, i had my car at Mckenna to do servicing and all, the service manager offered me a kind of ECU which boost up to 36HP. He told me it's called a
Plenum or some sort. After i took my car from Mckenna , i felt alot of difference to my car. But one night i was driving my car around, suddenly my car went NUTS!.

My sport button was turned off automatically and i couldnt turned it back on so is my Rear wing. The car was honking by itself, Lights went off and on, Center console couldnt be turned on. Basically all Electronic stuff on my Porsche was not working. Help please??

Maybe it didn't like having the masking tape across the top of the windshield?

How come you needed to get your windshield replaced? Did you get a crack?

similar thing happened when i had a VW. a Plenum isn't a chip or software related thing at all... but if they didn't install it correctly. i.e. loose connections it could be losing boost pressure causing the ECU to flip out. most likely you just need to tighten the hoses.

Love the colour and dark rims combination! You look fairly young to own that car, but of course I can't tell exactly how old you are, and of course there are tons of young people driving these sorts of cars. What impresses me most are the young ones who have earned the car themselves, through their own hard work.

Either way, nice car and hopefully you get your problems resolved! I'd be weary of a mechanic who offers a horsepower figure without giving you proper details on what he is going to install or modify.
