Arrow Custom ECU Tune Panamera Turbo 970.

Recently purchased PP Turbo with 39k miles. Installing Akrapovic exhaust on it. Everything else is stock.

Willing to add more fun to it. Very important is throttle response and of course hp/lb to wheels.

Crank numbers from major market tuners are fun but willing to find someone who will tune it proper way using dyno.

I’m in Chicago,IL and I’ll appreciate everyone thoughts and recommendations.

thank you...

I'm in Chicago as well - I used FVD tunes on both my 2010 PTT and my 2012 PTTS. Was very happy with both of them. FVD will take into account any modifications and program the ecu accordingly. As an aside if you want to unlock power on these cars you need to change out the down pipes to something with less restrictive cats and then do a tune

I did option 1 because option 2 isn't able to accommodate the removal of the cats, the x-pipe and the ipd plenum which they were able to account for with the bench tuned ecu.

hmmmm, seems a bit strange to me because only difference I can see here is or customer is capable and willing to remove ECU from his car or he prefers to use 'My Genius Handheld Flash Tool'. In both cases actual car is not tested on dyno..

P.S. and here is printscreen from tutorial video about this Flash Tool where is shown that all modifications can be accommodated;

Congratulations on proving me wrong. When I got the tune done in 2013 the only way to do it was to send it to Germany and have it bench tuned - apparently now they have other options. Get whatever you want - I was just sharing my experience.

I'm not trying to prove anything, I just want properly understand what is what and that's why we have these open discussions I think Big thanks for sharing your experience.
Now you wrote another interesting fact that you had to ship it to Germany, I thought that for US citizens it could be done (and would be more reasonable) in Florida https://www.fvd.net/us-en/contact
unless again it was not possible 5 years ago....
