Vivid may post one or Softronic or about 20 other Dealers that I tune for, with or without the Softronic logo.

I do not hold much faith in dyno posts by any aftermarket manufacturer since they are all easily manipulated to the companies desires. I have always had this stance as a technical expert for the PCA and Porsche.



Best,

Re-reading your posts, I now think you were saying: K16 at 1 bar = K16/16g at .7 bar (which may be right, but I've never run mine at stock boost levels).

I'm still curious to see a dyno plot of a Vivid/Softronic 996TT K16/16g car. Will you post one up when it becomes available?

Yeah, it would be nice if they tell you that up front.
Kevin at UMW can fix the problem though.

Totally agree!
When I bought my TT, I was only thinking of modifications, modifications and modifications for more power and didn't realized that there is a significant boost leak, which accounted for much of the power loss. After I have the leak fixed, it is already much better. And now I'll go for a flash, exhaust and........

Where was the leak on your car and how did you fixed it? , my car was bought from a dealer that serviced it before delivery and a new clutch was installed too but your experience would be very interesting to know , maybe there is something I need to check too

Thanks

Technically, I dont really know where the leak is, some sort of valves ??, they (the offical dealer) unloaded the whole engine and found boost leak from multiple sites. They fixed them and the car now feels a lot more solid when accelerating.
