I personally would not mess with the ecu on a non turbo car...there just isn't much there...unless you just want some more pops and bangs.

I’m tempted to use Cobb but I’m waiting for more reviews.

yeah I was too until I learned you needed to send them the ECU 1st to unlock it prior to using their accessport...

I talked to my guy who has been working on my cars for 7 years and he said skip the tune. Mostly for reasons above. I have a Carrera T as well and we tuned that to give it a little more get up and go. Much easier to do on a turbo car.

Wait what? Is this on their website or their forum post somewhere? Totally missed that.

Larry Cable

yeah its buried in the FAQ, here: https://cobbtuning.atlassian.net/wik...CU+Flash+Guide

That seems like a big detail to leave out on their product page and in their thread here on the forum. They make it sound like it's a simple plug-and-play.

I agree - I was a little surprised myself when I found it - I guess this applied to all 991 and 718 variants ... the whole value prop of the AccessPort is not having to pull the ECU/DME and ship it off - even with overnight turnaround ...

I lost interest in it when I saw that - and the price!

COBB Tuning

Hey everyone! I know this thread was initially about a different tuning product, but noticed some misinformation about ours so wanted to hop in and clarify.

The Flash Guide referenced was from our initial release of tuning support for the 718 and 991.2 vehicles back in June of 2018, when ECUs did need to be removed from vehicles in order to be unlocked before flashing via the Accessport. In December of 2019, that all changed when we released the ability for our Accessports to tune supported 718 and 991.2 vehicles right out of the box, without the need for a bench unlock. This new process is how tuning for the 991 and 991.2 GT3/GT3 RS works as well. You do not need to worry about removing the car's ECU, flashing via the Accessport directly through the car's OBDII port works right out of the box.

Available maps for 991 and 991.2 GT3 / GT3RS can be found here: https://cobbtuning.atlassian.net/wik...3+RS+Map+Notes

Hopefully that puts some of you at ease about the Accessport and it's functionality. As a reminder, we also offer a 30-day money back guarantee. If you purchase an Accessport and are not happy with the results, simply uninstall it from your car's ECU and ship it back within 30 days for a full refund. Let me know if I can answer any other questions!

Thanks for clearing that up! I hadn't heard anything about needing to remove the ECU so that news came as a surprise

Larry Cable

thanks for clarifying that Marshall! - you might want to update your FAQ for the 991.2 & 718 ...

I could be tempted!!!

I will highly recommend https://www.m-engineering.us/collect...1-2-gt3-gt3-rs , they program ecu with up to 3 maps and tcu is a custom.
They do have a great service and support.
