Introduction
mcchip-DKR is a world renown tuner based out of Germany, just outside of Frankfurt. For over a decade now, mcchip-DKR has specialized in ECU software development for performance street and motorsport application. In-house, they have a Superflow 880E 4WD dyno where initial development is conducted. Well majority of their tunes and hardware upgrades are further developed on the street and race track.

Our Collaboration
We are so honored to be the sole and exclusive North American distributor for the full mcchip-DKR product line. It has been a long time in planning and investment, but in-house we are able to take care of all of the flashing and hardware installation needs. mcchip-DKR offers a multitude of ECU tuning solutions and even more so for hardware upgrades. We are very thankful to be an extension of their establishment to reach out to all of you in support.

Porsche 991.2 C2 ECU Tune
Since Porsche introduced forced induction throughout the whole 911 product line, it was only a matter of time before software developers found ways to extract some big power from the 911 Carreras. The 991.2 911 C2 is now a very potent candidate to make some strong power with just a few modifications! mcchip-DKR Software Performance was very quick to get their hands on a C2 and C2S to develop a proper ECU tune that is safe, strong, and consistent. Like all of their products, they conduct as much dyno, street, and track testing as possible to assure sound performance.

+60 HP and Torque. Nice.

Thanks!!!

Wow very nice!

I see that's on the C2, what about the S Model?

bmedude

great work! I'm sure if the price is right, we will have a LOT of c2 buyers in the near future.

And what of the OEM warranty?

Bradley Scott

^^ I'd like to know the warranty status as well.

Never could understand why car manufacturers don't just tune these high end sports cars to have that kind of power to begin with. I'd guess a Carrera 4S with the above tune would push that into mid 2 second range to 60mph. That'd be the end of the story for the lamborghinis, ferraris, and any other exotic that calls Porsche a competitor.

Is there a reason they put the car out with 350/370 bhp so that it can be tuned by someone else?

Wouldn't it be wise of Porsche to offer in house ECU tuning? Say as one of their million options?

Also interested on what happens with the OEM warranty.

How is it installed ? It is some kind of Accesport that allows you to install/uninstall whenever you want ?

Nice to see more tuners coming out with .2 tunes. These are healthy gains.

The factory warranty will stay intact unless and until (1) the dealership realizes that you're tuned and decides to void your warranty, or (2) something happens to your car and it's time for service.

In (1), the customer can almost always argue against the dealership voiding a warranty based on a modification that hasn't actually caused any damage or problems yet. HOWEVER, good luck spending the time and money to fight this in arbitration. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus...s_Warranty_Act)

In (2), good luck arguing against this (again). The dealership can almost always link a problem to a tune since it can affect many parameters of a car.

I'm sure OP will chime in with possible warranty options that THEY may offer (some tuners offer their own warranty on your powertrain), but there's no chance that Porsche will "cover" this modification.


Engines are rarely maxed out from the factory (especially turbo cars). With increased HP and TQ, you're looking at less reliability, more heat, more prone to problems, etc. You're going to have a ton of people who give you an opinion one way or another, but there's always always always a risk of messing something up with an aftermarket tune due to the increases in hp, tq, heat, and pressure on parts. I've had two cars with aggressive aftermarket tunes; one never had any issues whatsoever, the second blew the transmission.

Thanks for the kind words!
mcchip-DKR did all of it's initial testing on their very own 991.2 C2S! I'll collate some photos and data for you all for the C2S as well. Huge gains!

Thanks! I certainly agree. Comparing to our naturally aspirated variants, the dollar spent provides some massive hp/tq gains.

Like any aftermarket product, it does not comply with Porsche warranty. From our experience, ECU tunes have never caused issues at the dealer, whether it be compliancy with service or getting other parts taken care of. For example, an ECU tune will by no means effect warranty of your brakes, suspension, interior, etc.

As enthusiasts who love molding our cars to our liking, it's the small risk we take with enhancing the car. Fortunately, all of the tunes have a lot of long term testing around the globe both on the street and track in varying conditions.

Certainly a very valid question and point! We are noticing that some automotive manufacturers are offering their enhancement packages, VW for example. Why they don't offer anything from factory, not entirely sure.

A user end platform and device is in the works for clients that are not able to come to our shop for in-house flashing with our host of tools. Once available, the user end tool will be an optional add-on. Otherwise, clients who have vehicles that are not OBDII capable for flashing, they ship us their ECU. On our bench flashing hardware, we are able to take a read of the original calibration, then mcchip-DKR massages many bytes for more power and smooth delivery.

That's a YUGE power bump. Nice.

Wow, that car looks great! Love the re-freshed front.

Why are the front wheels moving on the C2 in your picture?

Alex@PE

Thanks for the compliments! Definitely the route to go when looking for power!

The Superflow 880E is an AWD linked and synchronized chassis dynamometer. So both front and rear are spun in unison as if one were driving on the road. This works out very well for the newer Porsches without having to run any diagnostic protocols for a proper/accurate dyno measurement.

love the pictures, especially the enhancement of red on an entirely black and white picture.

Alex@PE

Thanks! It does add a little pop.

We hope everyone had a great start to the year. We have a very fun and exciting update for you all on the mcchip-DKR ECU tune for the 991.2 911. At Performance Eurowerks, we do our best to provide the community with products that are truly tested and proven. Over the last couple months, our tuners in Germany were further developing the calibration of more maps to provide factory-like power delivery, strong gains through the powerband, and assured reliability.

After further testing, we now have the latest rendition of the tune to our avail for all of you. We had many clients inquiring over the last couple months, but we encouraged them to sit tight for this latest revision which is now ready.

At the moment, flashing still as to be done with the ECU out of the car. So we are accepting ECUs from all over the continent. If you are local to the Chicagoland area, you are more than welcome to schedule an appointment for the tuning process.

Thank you everyone for the patience. We hope we can get some of the RennList family on this product!
