My best advice would be to pick a tuner that has a logical upgrade path for you.

In other words, if you're planning on upgrading turbos down the road, pick software now that can be easily upgraded in the future to accommodate new turbos, (like Champion/GIAC ).

Also, be weary of warranty issues. If you're concerned with keeping a CPO warranty intact, that's another thing you'll want to be careful of. We are the only company that offers and blanket warranty over your CPO which is still effective even with our upgraded turbo packages.

My advice, Champion.

Focused and honest with your individual needs, platforms to build off of, a complete tuned package that works and is fully supported by them, unheard of customer service, and driven by client retention...bar none...the best I have ever been treated by any Dealership or Performance shop.

One visit to their Werks1 shop and you'll understand.

Check them all out, ask questions, you'll learn a lot and will have fun doing it. If you're planning on future upgrades beyond a flash and exhaust, you might want to check out the 60-130 list (https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...le-thread.html) and see which tuners are making huge power.

I did alot of research before getting going with the Softronic.

Key factors.
Very positive feedback.
They have been doing it along time.
Very Knowlegdeable with Porsche cars.
No removing your ECU and the ease of switching back to stock with a push of the button.

After install was like a new car !!!!!

I am sure lots of tunes are good but I am very happy with my choice...

Troymx576 is infamous around these parts
I am working on getting a 997.1TT and one of my first mods will be exhaust and ECU. Here is what I came up with so far. Please help with more info and filling in the blanks. I tried to copy and paste it in but it would not let me. I had to upload as an image. If someone can post an excel part let me know.

in my experience with ECU tunes the lower the number the more realistic. Granted you have a hair dryer on the car but 135 hp gains seems to be preeeeeety optimistic. I'd like a tip tune and ecu. I dont know how much moding i will do on a CPO.

I think a lot of that 135 gain includes exhaust and increasing redline to 7400.... If real, that's ZR1 territory with AWD and Porsche quality for $4k if you get the exhaust used. Prob should factor in a clutch too
