I am not interested in any other tuning except Evom or Giac, so feedback on both would be greatly appreciated... Is the Evom as easy as the Giac to change back to stock tuning??? thanks

 

I had the GIAC on my 2008 Turbo and loved it. Very smooth. Not comparing apples to apples but I have the EVOM on my 2011 Cayenne Turbo. It is a piggy back system (somebody with more knowledge than me will have to explain) and does not seem as smooth. I drove a friends Cayenne Turbo with the GIAC and it definitely had a smoother delivery of power. Only reason I went with EVOM was the GIAC was not available at the time. Maybe that is why it is smoother. They took some extra time to fine tune it.

 

GIAC all the way. i'de never let anyone take the ecu out of my car.
champion exclusively uses GIAC. they obviously know their stuff.

curious as to why youre not looking at APR ? the ability to toggle from 93, to 100, to stock via the cruise control stalk is pretty awesome.

 

We have the ability to switch programs on the fly as well. It's actually about as seamless as you can get considering you don't have to enter any passwords, watch blinking lights or cycle the ignition. Simply press a single button and you're good to go.

Not to mention we have many custom options for varying hardware setups.

 

GIAC for me too, very smooth power. I won't go with a piggy back system, do a search and you'll find piggy back alter some signal from the DME, but not as comprehensive as the chip like GIAC. My 2 cents.

 

We make fantastic power on the GT2RS and it is incredibly smooth, just like your previous Turbo. You won't regret it in the least.




Here are the wheel horsepower gains over stock we see on 91, 93 will be a bit higher:


Here are the wheel torque gains over stock we see on 91, 93 will be a bit higher:


As noted previously, we have different files for this platform based on a myriad of hardware combinations and real program switching.

 

I don't want to hijack the op's thread but I already talked to Mike @ AWE. I would really like to hear, in person, the exhaust for the GT2RS they did along with your tune. They, in conjunction with Sewickley Porsche, did my '08 Turbo.

 

+1, I was there for a tune a while back and it was awesome!

 

Hey Local in L.I , do your self a favor and drive up to EPL in CT; they are close and nothing is better then a proper dyno tune.

 

Selarno, i have heard a lot of good things about EPL, problem is they are in CT and i didnt want to drive to far for a shop, incase there is a problem....

 

Thanks everyone for the input, it looks like Giac has won the race.... now i need to locate a Giac dealer on Long Island NY...anyone out there know one????

 

Why not Softtronic?

 

AWE-Tuning isn't a far trek from you and they're very specialized with Porsche models. If you're looking to stay specifically in LI, Tuning Works is our dealer there.

 

He can head over to AWE-Tuning and have that done with us as well.
