991.2 4S - Eurocharged (2018) ECU Map - Any Opinions?
 

I've been on several forums for my previous cars... This is my first post on Rennlist. HELLO EVERYONE.

Opening the flood gates for options and feedback about ECU Maps/tuning. I did some searching on here and a majority of topics are around the other vendors but I couldn't find anything on Eurocharged.

The car:
2018 Porsche 991.2 (4S)
700 Miles, new car...

Cobb Tuning I've used on many cars, great company: still pending release, may take another month, will require ECU to be shipped

I was looking for a tuned ECU Map to use with a Genius OBD2 and I did not want to ship my ECU anywhere, staying in the car. That being said, looking for moderate (60-100hp/tq) power gains to impact the power band and also see boost increase to 16-18 ft lbs over the 12-14 the car runs at now.

Pricing was good and Eurocharged was very helpful, thus far. I will be updating the car next week.

Anyone on here use Eurocharged ECU Map on a 991.1 or 911.2 yet?

I've got EuroCharged tunes on both my 991.2 GTS and my BMW X5M, and I'm extremely happy with both. You won't be able to put a tune on the car without ripping out the ECU, at least not yet. Even COBB can't do that.

Hey I am also in CT and getting the COBB tune. So is my buddy and the seller is a Rennlist member as well. If you want to go COBB I think he would give you a great deal along with us for buying 3 tunes at one time. Without any other info, I feel the COBB tune will be the best mainly because they have been working on it and perfecting it for over a year, but time will tell.

I think the majority of that time has been spent unsuccessfully trying to crack the ECU so they could flash the tune via the AP without having to pull the ECU first. Looks like that was too hard, so they finally gave up and went to market with what they had. Having to pull the ECU may be the new reality for cars going forward, with stronger and stronger encryption.

count me in :D

Soler: Are you located in the NY/NJ/CT area?

MoreSpeed: Maybe I am mistaken, but NO ONE has been able to crack the code so ALL tuners will require you to send them your ECU to crack.
I had/have the same problem with my AMG Mercedes. You have to send in the ECU and no OBD2 has been able to crack it without doing so.

The COBB tune will be released for 2018 911 models within the next 10 days..

Eurocharged definitely had to remove the ECU on my 2018 GTS. I'm very curious what's going on with your tune. I'm thinking they are sending you something for another car or something like that.

I spoke with them again today and they are confident in only needing the flash-loader for the 2018 model as they just did it recently in their shop on a number of 2017 and early model 2018 911s...

The key is early 2018 models which I doubt mine is...
My car may not work but going to test it. Worst case scenario it doesn't work and I ship back the flash-loader at their expense since they sold it to me as a working option.

They are walking me through it over the phone and have been super helpful. The device is arriving today and I will be testing it tonight.

Yes, according to EuroCharged. Give them a call, i just spoke with them 15 mins ago. Office# 713-462-1600

Anyone know if I should be worried about the OBDII causing my ECU to "brick" ?
Or is that only when they are working with the ECU when it's removed?

I may be in with you guys as well..
*If EuroCharged can't make it happen tonight, I'm returning the flash-loader and will go with the COBB Tune. I am in the Norwalk CT area.

I haven't heard of any flashing through the OBDII port without first physically removing the ECU and having it unlocked. Once its unlocked any handheld will work through the port.

If they can in fact load new maps without first removing and unlocking the ECU they are the only people who can do this. I'm a little suspicious about this since we haven't heard anything about it.

Please let us know how it works out, GL!
