Best ECU Flash for Stock K16

I did some quick searches, but not much about which one... So was wondering what ECU flash was recommended for a stock 996tt?

Thanks!
Chad

There may not be one right answer, but I will say that GIAC is not one of them, and most on this board will agree. And I currently have GIAC (came with my car when I bought it and knew a lot less about the aftermarket!)

I say EPL or Protomotive. That is what I will be getting soon....

I know! Too many options. Please list what you have, any pros and cons, how it is installed (send in or remote via laptop) and if you want, the price...

Oh no. Not again.




Search. Look up posts by Mikelly for one, who had two different flashes on his car. Etc.

I'm getting a EPL flash on my K16 hybrids. No comments yet but will post my experience shortly. EPL was running a special on stock K16 flash with DV's for $999 a while back

After a lot of research in terms of power and long term upgradeability it came down to EPL and Protomotive. I went with EPL for the K16 flash and will soon upgrade to K24/18g. I like the power and throttle response and all the additional features EPL offers (launch Control etc.). They have great turnaround and customer service.

I will say that you cannot go wrong with either tuner,Todd has been great too on answering my questions on the phone and also offers remote tuning via durametric.

For me EPL did it price wise and also a possibility of custom dyno tune in the future when Tony gets to Chicago.

Gl with your selection.

Thanks for the input guys! Seems like a lot of options and looks like many are good! Looks like the ECU flash is a quick and easy way to get some more HP!
