We typically check the software across 2-3 cars in different parts of the country (different environments, fuels, etc..).

For a given mod set, we don't leave anything on the table. If you were to drop the engine, add high flow cats, have a custom set of larger and more efficient intercoolers added, we could probably get more out of it. For basic mods like a cat back, secondary cat delete and/or IPD plenum, we've maxxed out what the cars can do. These ECUs are incredibly adaptive and will make more power on some cars versus others.

 

I have contacted most all company's that do ECU tunes and found that when it comes to the CTT, GIAC seems to be the most knowledgeable and experienced .

 

Thanks for the feedback

 

The GIAC tune for the Cayenne/Panamera Turbo is a serious night and day difference. The car feels like it shed about 500 pounds between the throttle response and increased power. Anyone looking to do the tune is welcome to contact us with any questions or for help ordering. We are also happy to give discounts to loyal 6speed members.

 

Emmanulle Design could you please introduce yourself. Please tell us a bit about your company. Thanks

 

Of course! We are a relatively new performance shop here in Orange County specializing in upgrades for European automobiles. I actually used to work at GIAC, so I am pretty familiar with their upgrades as well as the supporting modifications. We work closely with GIAC and Champion Motorsport on the performance modifications, and are also distributors for a number of aftermarket companies. You'll frequently see us out at the SoCal Airstrip events such as Shift Sector and No Fly Zone!

 

I have the Evom and I am not happy with it. Not a smooth delivery of power. Kind of jerky. I did mine before the GIAC was available. I had the opportunity to drive a Cayenne Turbo with the GIAC and it has a much smoother delivery of power. I should have waited for the GIAC as I had in in my '08 997 Turbo & loved it.

 

to my understanding, normally manufacture warranty is voided for these type of upgrade. Is it still the case with the GIAC mod?

thx.

 

Results with warranty will vary with your dealer. That said, we've not seen issues with these vehicles regarding that. If you're at all worried about it, you can purchase through Champion and they will supplement your warranty.

 

I haven't seen issues with warranty. To my knowledge, GIAC is the only software that is carried in select OEM dealerships as well.

 

Hello guys, I'm new to this forum but I would like to give my experience with my ECU Tune on my PPT. I was initially considering GIAC, FVD and Softronic for the tune, after much research and speaking to all I went with FVD.
Rhonda from FVD U.S.A. is a great person that responded to all my concerns. I took the ECU out myself in my garage on Sunday and dropped the ECU at FVD in Pompano Beach on Monday. Rhonda said she would try to have the ECU back from Germany by that Friday. For my surprise she emailed me on Friday noon saying the ECU had arrived.
I went to get it and was installing it that same day at home.

Let me tell you that the difference of how the car performs and drives is night and day. It's ridiculously fast. I now get peeks on the boost gauge at 15.6 psi.

Just wanted to share my experience on this thread and let everyone know how happy I am I went with FVD Brombacher for the ECU Tune.
