Do you have a number or email?
Is this Porshe dealer?

Thank you

TtimeS

His email is sam@bydesignauto.com

he is not a Porsche dealer but he is a guru for this platform. I’m not sure any Porsche dealer would provide an ECU tune for you.

How is he different than going with Cobb? I just bought an 18 GTS and would like to tune it as soon as it arrives. My car is a CPO so voiding the warranty is not an option.

Sam does Cobb tunes.

An ECU tune can void the warranty even if a Porsche Dealer does it. Porsche, not the dealer makes this call. The dealer is not the one who pays for warranty work.

If voiding the warranty is not an option, you'd better forget about any tuning, no matter where it is done. It wouldn't void the whole warranty, but you could probably kiss the powertrain portion goodbye. As mentioned above, it is doubtful that any Porsche dealer would load a tune other than OEM. If any do, then I'm sure they fully explain any warranty impacts before doing it.

TtimeS

Yes, and that risk is ran if you mod, no matter what you do. He uses Cobb accessport device correct. But if you want to maximize it he’ll build you a custom tune. You’ll still be able to switch tunes via the Cobb device. My recommendation is contact him, he’s very honest and will talk with you and layout your options.

TtimeS

Exactly. I have read on here depending on the dealer they are usually ok with exhaust. Tunes not so much. I know a lot of people reset the tune to stock when they take the car in for service but my understanding is if they wanna see if it’s been tuned they can find it. Much has to do with the customer/dealer relationship.
