TPC DSC quick question..

My car is a 2007, I ordered the box for it and this one was sent. I was going to try and figure out how to install this bad boy today and I'm trying to make sure this is the correct box. I'm not sure because it does say 997.2 on it.

I believe that Harris stated in another thread that the .1 and .2 were the same, but it would not hurt to give him a phone call tomorrow just to make sure.

The DSC box does work...so it must be the same...


After 50 miles of driving, this box so far seems like money well spendt. The car rides so nice in Mode 1. Mode 3, seems pretty bad *** on the on-ramps to the EWAY. Chicago traffic today was a little bad. hard to really push it, I'm sure I'll try it some more this week.

Mode 1 is the "softest" setting so to speak, so when you get to bumpy roads etc. that's the mode I go into (for example, NJ Turnpike from exit 13 onward and in particular around the airport where the expansion joints are like 3 inches below the road surface so the car just sea saws).

Mode 2 I use for a bit more spirited drive in the country (mode 3 basically firms up the front a bit more than mode 2), but I find that it reacts a bit better to bumps that are short and sharp in nature - hope that makes sense. On the track I use mode 3.

Sorry for the delayed response here. I have been out of town and just returned. For the 997 Turbo, .1 and .2 are the same for the DSC module. Porsche used the 3-axis accelerometer that the .1 Turbo has in all of the .2 cars, so when our programmer burns the box, he puts .2 to note which file he is loading.
