80hp and 84 ft/lbs of torque for $2500 - seems so high, since their non-turbo software is $900 and this price is just because 'they can', but is it worth tuning the ECU??

I think you should go GIAC, there are Porsche dealers that sells them, and you can get the switcher for another $150, I paid about $2300... people spend rediculous amount of money for 50HP,well worth it..You should call Sharky..is Revo done through the ODB port also?

Alex, I've heard that GIAC is not quite the best solution for the Cayenne, but I guess its all in who you ask. REVO is done through the ODB port also, and they have a switcher but it costs more, just like the reflash, apparently.

What's your review of before and after you had it done?

You will feel the difference for sure, boost comes early so acceleration definitely faster.. I had a chance to drive it back on stock when I brought the car in to the dealer, it's still fast of course but the throttle response is quicker and instant when it's on pump.. I switched it back to pump as soon as I got home from the dealer

Alex, but is it worth the $2000-$2500? Does it increase boost to 1 bar? Any estimates on 0-60 or 0-100?

not sure if this helps, but right now I would say REVO is the best for audis, they are able to insane numbers for us and the programming is genius imo

Heya Youngmin,

Where are you based? We can always flash you and if you don't like it for some reason you can go back to stock
