FWIW I've already done the TPC racing front width kit, cup car sway bars, control arms, etc. Along with full Tractive DDA R/T setup and DSC controller.
I've done this on my .1gts with PIWIS 3. No error. You'll like the new steering feel. I think it'll be the last missing piece with all the mods you've done.

If some can please give us steps to change the steering to GT3, that will be really appreciated. Unable to figure it out after spending 30 min.

Also do I need to backup Original software prior to coding?
Electric Power Steering [NOT Electric Steering Wheel] --> Functions --> Power Steering --> Brush Hidden Modified --> Information – Coded Items - Coding Value GT3

OR THIS [or combination of both, I forgot the one I used]

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING -> POWER STEERINNG -> CODE/BRUSH HIDING -> RULE CODING -> CODING VALUE --> GT3

OK, I coded my 991.1 GTS. I actually had multiple options. First I tried the GT3RS option. This one wasn’t my favorite… it made the steering more responsive but too light. I suspect because the GT3RS used rear axle steering.

The GT3 setting though… WOW!!! I can’t fathom how people can’t feel the difference. It’s night and day. More road feedback and far more feedback when the car is loaded. Steering is way more direct. It’s about the same amount of heaviness though.

I have a 991.1 base with pdk with the GT3 cup steering software change. If anyone in the NY/NJ/CT tri state area would like to try feel free to PM me. I don't have a PIWIS but someone did it for me from the 981 cayman forum ( courtesy of nhnguy12)

I was able to code it this morning, and wow! It’s giving me an error but will silence it later. It’s a must if you’re still debating.
