ECU tune Cayenne Turbo/Panamera turbo ???

I have contacted several software/ecu tuning company's and it seems that GIAC is the ONLY company that currently has a tune for the current models CTT/PTT. If there is something that I'm missing please let me know. thanks

The only other option that I have seen mentioned on the forums here is a EVOMS kit. Check out Sharkwerks, since I see that you are in the SF Bay Area.

Sharkwerks said that the Evoms tune is hit and miss.

Giac

I'm going to have IPB-Motorsport do the ecu tune, they are a GIAC dealer with years of experience located in Sacramento (916) 453-1465. If your interested talk to the owner Ron .

Doesn't the DME still have to be bench flashed? GIAC told me it still has to be sent in even if you goto an authorized dealer.

Sounds tempting, but getting back from them to SF without a car would be problematic. Looking forward to your feedback on the tune when you get it done!

Some dealers that are mod friendly will do it for you. Which is good because you'll get a free loaner.

It's so strange that after 4 years, Giac is the only tuner to crack the coding on the ecu.

We equate the security on these DMEs to little bank vaults that you can't brute force your way into. The 991TT is even worse.

You can pull the DME in your garage if you have basic tools. It's very easy to get to.

This is a piggyback resistor box. From my experiences with our customers who've switched from using them, they tend to go into limp mode a lot and have a small power gain sometimes, no gain others.

When a tune is developed how many cars is the tune optimized across?

How much is potentially left on the table to allow the tune to work with all cars in all environments, altitude, temp and humidity?

Basically can you describe the difference between performance gains with your one size fits all tune and a custom tune? If I sent my car to your facility how much more could you get out of it?
