I noted how bumpy the drive to his place was (Bad roads). I drove back to the track and fitted the DSC. My last session was the best.
But the biggest surprise was driving back home. Wow, not only did it produce better handling on the track, but it smoothed the bumps out on the way home. I couldn't believe it.
I have since made the maps more aggressive. I never used to drive in Sport suspension as it was too rough. Not anymore. I pretty much live in sport now. So max handling an liveable daily. Until I do the springs and tractive suspension.

Just received and installed my DSC module. I got one of the earliest V3 modules for 991.2 but had the s/r bug. After some months without a fix I returned it for a refund. TPC was great about it. I had installed one on my 991.1 and was very happy with its performance. When I read that they fixed the bugs for the.2 iteration I placed my order. I really like how it smooths the ride but sharpens the reflexes at the same time. It’s a terrific product for our cars.
One oddity I’ve noticed. When I switch to Sport+ the dampers don’t automatically go to the firm setting. I’ve switched the dampers manually and can feel the difference. It’s just not automatically happening in Sport+. Anyone else seeing this?

With the factory PASM controller, that was how it worked (and also the previously selected damper mode was reset back to Normal mode every time the car was started). But the DSC doesn't work the same way - it stays in the manually selected damper mode regardless of the "car" mode (Normal, Sport or Sport+) selected and it remembers the damper mode set on a restart. I find that the DSC Sport mode is so much more comfortable (compared to the factory PASM controller Sport mode) that I leave it in Sport mode all the time - the only time I switch DSC to Normal mode is if it's a particularly rough road.

Yes, I have made and stored hundreds of maps(aka calibration files) for DSC users worldwide. Send me an email request and I'll reply with the map to suit your description. My email is: tchan@tpcracing.com

Just added DSC to my 2018 991.2 Carrera 7MT on TechArt springs and...so far my take is VERY positive. Car seems "smarter" and the slight pogo-ing introduced by the firmer end of the progressive springs is either greatly attenuated or nearly eliminated—while keeping/enhancing the nicer ride with the softer end of the TechArt coils. Unfortunately, my favorite local road for testing (which leads to better roads) is being paved and has gravel everywhere—so my thoughts on handling are prelim but also smarter. More to come with more time and miles....

Went to TPC racing / DSC sport today to upgrade my 991.1 V2 to V3. Noticed a significant improvement. V3 seems to be a much more polished product compared to V2. There's a more noticeable difference, in both normal and sport. Normal mode the car rides very well, sport becomes more sporty. The added control of engine mount is cherry on top. Car feels more solid the harder you push it.
Truly dual function car now. A worthy upgrade.
BTW great customer service from Tom @ DSC sport!

Hi, Tom. I bought a DSC V2 for my 991.2 Base from a member here based on your recommendation. He had it installed with a set of Tractive suspension so the maps weren't the ideal set up for my Base 991.2 Cab. My 991.2 Base is lowered with a set of Eibach springs. Could you please send me the best maps to fit my needs? I'm emailing you now with my email address. Thanks!!!

We have tried to flash V3 firmware to V2 controller, it does not work as intended.
