Who in your opinion are the best Porsche 997.1 Turbo Tuners in the US?

 

Todd K.

 

Todd K. Protomotive 👍👍

 

I dont know if Todd does Cobb? I have his turbos and he is a great guy. Robb is out of the country and doesnt do Pcars as far as i know.

My tune was done by Dzenno. I would rate him a 8/10. VERY good tuner and he knows what he is doing with this platform, but he seems to be busy with 5000 projects so you have to bug him for weeks sometimes to get a revision, etc. I would recommend Dzenno if you dont mind waiting.

 

In my experience, using a COBB Accessport V3 with our pro-tuners custom file have show phenomenal results.

• 93 Octane: Peak: +8% HP / +14% TQ - Max: +15% HP / +15% TQ

Stage 2

• Exhaust Requirements: After-Market Exhaust System (Larger Diameter Piping)
• Intake Requirements: Stock air box with stock air filter or upgraded panel filter o Boost Targets: 17psi on normal mode, 20psi on Sport mode. (+/-1 PSI)
• 91 Octane: Peak: +17% HP / +13% TQ - Max: +24% HP / +24% TQ

i've used Todd K for a 93 octane exhaust tune, , an ms109 tune , and now injectors and E85 , all the tunes have been spot on.

Since youre using cobb , you remote tune with any tuner out there tunning with cobb AP.

 

Todd @ Promotive

I'm tuned for:

93 oct
ms 109
and e85 (but still havent switched)

 

He doesn't work on our platforms anymore. He's busy with BMW.

I have a custom tune from him also. Some drive-ability issues,.. and it pulls 5+ degrees of timing at times (usually around 4,100 rpm).

The tune is locked,.. so I'll have to have another tuner tune it from scratch on a dyno this Spring.

I won't do remote tuning again. Better to fly the tuner to you.

 

Tuning what? Bolt-on setups, built motors, stock ECU, standalone, FlexFuel/Anti-Lag features, etc.? You prefer someone local or "the best"?


Need more info before you people can make an appropriate recommendation.

 

What I have now: Bolt-ons, stock motor, external boost controller, speed density tune, Cobb AP v3, stock ECU, tuned for 93 octane.


Really just wanted to know who's the best in the country - top 3.

 

Since you're using COBB, I'll focus on people who have w/ that tuning module like -- BoostLogic, D3 Performance, RobTuned, Garth @ Turtle Tuning (also contact AIM Performance to get a hold of him), Rick @ DEFIV Fabrication (tuned Rob Bailey's 997.1 Turbo; video below)



AND of course, there's lots of other options if you're interested in not using COBB going forward or standalone, etc. etc. However, I would highly recommend dyno tuning (with some drivability street tuning) with someone local in case the car starts acting up. Nothing will ever replace having that hands-on assistance.
