Tuning Help Needed... (And Perf. Parts)

Just picked up my 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S today and was looking around for part and tunes. New to the Porsche world, any advice on great shops and parts? Particularly a tune? One that plugs into the OBD port would be ideal but I'm having no luck finding anything..... Thanks in Advance!

I would not touch a TTS, those things are too hot just stock ... plus a flash will void your warranty ...

If you have to, several vendors here offer an OBDII flash: Softronic, proto, Switzer ... have your pick ...

Good luck ..

Why not drive the car stock for a while to get to understand the car's baseline performance, its strengths and weaknesses before modding? I never get why people are in such hurry to mod the crap out of their already high performance cars.

I have no idea--perhaps you're a Lewis Hamilton behind the wheels and can drive the car at 10/10ths while sipping coffee and reading the morning paper, so you're looking to take care of all the performance flaws that you're finding in the car. If you're not a professional driver already, however, it'd be good to first upgrade the nut behind the wheel.

I always laugh when I see GT2s, GT3s, etc. with $$$$ invested putting around the track getting passed by Spec Miatas. Meanwhile, the same drivers are enthusiastically explaining all the mods that have been done to their cars and what they are going to do to it next. While I can appreciate their enthusiasm, I question the point of all the modifications when they can't even drive to 6/10th of the potential of the car.

If you are Lewis Hamilton, I apologize--mod away sir.

+1 for an EVOMSit flash for your 2011' turbo S- Evoms has a test-mule where they developed their software from with a ton of research and testing hours on the dyno- so you dont blow your PDK up just yet

Hahaha. Thanks for the help, we race regularly. Just got back from the ZR-1 School in Parumph Nevada... Crazy and lots of fun.

Looking for a plug n play tune for the s. I probably will buy it relatively soon but will try and not flash it for a month or two...
