1.05 and 1.06 greatly smoothed out the torque so that it didn't feel like such a huge hit early on. I think it improves the feel greatly. Not to mention, backfires and the boost are now consistent with Porsche's OEM. 1.04 had backfires in Sport+ and none in Sport -- addressed with the latest releases.
So I remove my ECU and send it to Cobb correct ? Then it comes back with a control unit that I can down load different maps 2 ?
sorry I have never done this.

Yes. They return your ECU and an Accessport to you and you can change maps whenever you want. Very easy process.
It sounds like some of the older maps had more issues with PDK cars than manual transmissions. For those of us with a manual gearbox can we still run the older maps or are they no longer available?
I've had no luck with traction on, PSM sport, or PSM off. I have a Mitch pro-tune with 3 maps. The 93 map is 562hp/538tq and still misses the 3rd-4th shift half the time, even after a PDK relearn. The 91map (542hp/502tq) has not missed the shift since the relearn, and is smooth and strong- 91 map does 7.66sec 60-130, and 130 in the quarter I think there's a PDK torque limit that can not be exceeded until someone comes up with a PDK tune.
As for mine (manual), i did replace stock control arms with Tarett adjustable control arms and took some camber out. I was not able to put power down on 2nd gear and 3rd on protune for a base car. I now could.

LCA's to take camber out? We are on a different mission, I have adjustable LCA's and run -3.0front,-2.5 rear for the track. That definitely doesn't help with wheel spin
Horrible 60' time, but the trap speed/hp is there at 130mph on the 91 tune, and it doesn't miss the 3-4 shift.

No, upper control arms. The goal is to get rear wheel contact patch flat on ground.
Peter went different route and he has upgraded turbos (650 ps) so I thought worth checking out for you. See his comments in other thread, too. They're all there.

I think you're misunderstanding fsmich.... he's trying to NOT have the rear tire contact flat on the ground He's running -2.5 camber in the rear for max cornering grip.
M3, now that you have lived with the Stg 1 for a while do you have any additional comments, pro or con? No reliability issues attributable to the new model?
Thanks,
I guess so? I haven't seen it. Where is it posted?
No, Ive actually always been a BMW guy. Ive had an M3 or M5 for the past 15 years.
You'd never guess by my screen name, lol. Same one since I started on the forums oh so many years ago at m3forum.net
I thought I recognized that username. I’ve either been on m3forum.net or this board over the same period. I had an E46 M3 from 2008-2012. Same username on m3forum. “Cutlass476”
Sold it and when back to Porsche, then AMG, now back to Porsche again. Never should have left. Welcome to Porsche, I can tell that you are already satisfied with your decision.
