Default GIAC tune available at dealers


I went to the dealer today to pick up my plates and I asked about GIAC tune. They confirmed the GIAC tune is available, car will retain factory warranty.
Add labor cost to attached pricing.

I would probably add a center radiator kit with this much extra power, although the GTS does not have center radiator kit. I just want to ensure I have enough cooling capacity but I live in Houston, it is hot here.

How do you know, do you represent a dealer???
My service rep confirmed that car will retain factory warranty and GIAC is offered through Porsche and not individual dealers

Is that right? That's fantastic. This is a no brainer upgrade if Porsche warranties this tune.

Porsche (AG) has not (never) offered any warranty for engine tuning. Not even on respectable specialized in Porsche tuners from Germany. I find it a bit hard to believe they now would offer this for a US tuner. Where does Porsche state this warranty??

My dealer is in the Netherlands, they don’t offer it nor does Porsche Germany. Looking forward to reading about the GIAC tune on the Porsche NA website ...

If true, the new 911 Turbo suddenly becomes the Porsche to own.

Almost 100 hp gain, matches Turbo S power? Crazy.

Crazy indeed yes...which makes it way too good to be true.

There is simply no way Porsche would warranty this.
