Wow, how friendly is this response but appreciate the update. Like the OP before I spend $1-2k, I want to know the latest feedback because technology changes and some things get better. Rather find that out before buying

A file maximized for your car is the way it is unless you want more/upgrade. If something is improved for a specific platform, some vendors will offer updates.

Someone please convince me to pull the trigger and get a tune. I have a 991.2 c4s with bmc filter, flat 6 divertor valves, vector headers, 2m fabrication 200 cel cats. And sport exhaust. Love the car but it is slow to respond from a light. And of course I believe more is better. And yes I do get a cel every once in awhile and would love never seeing that light again.

Do it. I’ve got a C2S with GTS turbos + APR stage 3 93 octane tune. Haven’t looked back. I want even more power, so Tial T800s may be in my future, but only after I’ve upgraded the suspension. The CEL won’t go away in - in all probability it’s from the 200 cell cats. I’ve shied away from exhaust mods for exactly that reason. Tune vendors are not going to turn that off, because they will face massive fines from the govt for emissions violations.

Surprised 200 cell cats result in CELS. I've got Soul's version, no lights on my dash...

sounds like you want a supercharger.

Forgive if this is obvious, but is the PDK in a 991.2 the same as the Turbo?

I'm wondering what the extra 100hp/100tq from softronic would, if anything, cause to break or wear faster (other than obvious things like tires). My car is CPO for two more years but I still kinda want to just do it. No one seems to be reporting major engine or drive train issues...

I appreciate your reaction to his response being a little salty. People like that forget they were new to their Porsche experience at one time too. I'm looking at various tunes, but was taken aback at Cobb's pricing so when I found the Softronic site obviously it caught my attention. While I'm familiar with Cobb's product and installed it on my BMW 8 years ago it was also about $500. Would love to hear from others using Softronic on their 991.2 Turbo S. If I understood correctly Softronic can delete the stop/start function? Also, are there any similar Porsche coding apps e.g. like Bimmercode?

Most people with a PDK and a tune wind up getting a TCU tune as well, which increases clamping pressure so that the clutch can handle the additional torque. I think what a lot of people may not realize is that, as with a manual transmission, your clutch plate life is going to be reduced. Just a fact of tuning. I've got a good 10k miles on my C2S with GTS turbos + tune, a lot of which are track miles, and no problem with my manual transmission as yet. There is evidence that these things are overbuilt as far as transmissions are concerned.

Check the Thinkdiag thread in this forum. Lots of great coding possibilities.
