SoftTronic Tuning Stock 997 TT
Just wanted to share my experience and thoughts below.
Upgrading my 2007 997TT with SoftTronic Tuning
Process was super simple, just followed the directions to the letter.
After I recieved my Softtronic cable via Fedex, I simply plugged it into the car and read out the stock ecu file. The software automatically loaded it to the Softtronic servers. Less that 24 hours later I recieved an email from Dan with my new tuned file and old stock file attached.
Again, I plugged in my Softronic cable to the ODBII port, turned on my laptop - Double clicked on the new tuned file and within two minutes it was reflashed with upgraded software.
Initial reaction is WOW. Boost is definately coming on stronger and earlier. You can really hear the boost pressure increase from 3200 all the way to redline, which is now 7k BTW. It really has brought new life to the 997, not that it wasn't already a monster out of the box. Now its just sick.
Cheers

gaatr - congrats! I love the Nav headunit too. Which model is this?
Also, I know this is prob discussed bazillion times but can dealer detect the new flash or would you return it back to stock before going in?
Thanks

From what I understand from SoftTronic - no. But who really knows for sure

Tuned Power – 555HP and 525ft/lbs
pretty much on par with other reputable flashes

-X- if you need help with getting the flasher to work, please contact me. Vivid Racing now offers a new tuning system which you can read more about at www.vrtuned.com. We are no longer affiliated with or represent the other product.
To the OP, gaatr, thanks! Rep points for you

Softronic is an OEM supplier of several re-branded flashes offered by other Porsche tuners. I think their's is the best.
I have a good relationship with my dealer, such that modifications are not an issue.

hi gaatr - just wanted to follow up on how you are liking the tune. I would like to get your thoughts on before and after the exahust. Thanks
Also, i have a quick question on how softronic works. Who actually provides the revised software? Is it developed by softronic or by tuner (e.g. vivid) ?
