Flashing The ECU
I got my tuned ECU back today. I took the car out already and the change is INCREDIBLE. I really did not think that the tune was going to be that noticeable since the Fabspeed muffler and air intake don't go in until next week. However, acceleration, throttle response, and overall power were significantly improved. I have a base C2 and I have read all the threads about nominal gains. Granted, I am not a pro driver, or even a good novice tracker, but the power increase is OBVIOUS. I don't need a dyno for that. Best $$$ I have spent on this car!
I got a lot of feedback from all of you on this forum, so thank you. In the end, there was so much info on GIAC, EVOMSit, ETG, and Softronic, that I just got "analysis paralysis!" This guy, Chris Sterling, who owns an indy tire/wheel shop in Lake Forest, Ca, has done light mods to my car. He arranged the tune, took out the ECU and reinstalled it after the tune. I am not a DIY kinda guy! I am not even sure which tune we went with. He was right though, it works! His shop will install the muffler and intake next week. If you live in SoCal, he's worth looking up to work on your P-Car. Honest and reasonable are not common words to use around many P-shops. I am proud to say I found one! PM me if you need his contact info.

I took the car out a second time tonight. This time with my 16 year old son....just to check my potential bias on the car's "new" performance. He pretty much agreed with my earlier assessment....teenage words...."freakin' sick!" I think he pretty much agrees with me!

For others interested, please contact the sales department or your local ETG dealer to schedule an appointment.

Yet if I'm not mistaken some Porsche dealers sell the flash software.

Don't believe me...Call PCNA in Atlanta and ask them.

Not disputing you at all...just pointing out some dealers sell mods that can effect your warranty...could go along way in a small claims court.
