ECU tuning
Ahhh how greedy we all are! Don't we have enough horsepower and speed already?
Anybody hear of any legitimate, reliable ECU tunes for the 992, or anything else that is safe that can increase hp?

I’m sorry, please don’t take offense. I’m sort of new to all of this. The idea that I should buy a car well over $100k, then take a piece out of it and send it overseas, then have it “reprogrammed”, then sent back to me to reinstall, all while losing my factory drivetrain warranty, sort of..........ya know. Defies common sense.
It sure would be better if I could drive it into a shop, get it worked on, and then drive it home right afterward.

We have had our software out for the 992 C2S and C4S for sometime now. You can't get much more reliable than tuning Porsche models only since 1983.

requires chip to be sent in. Would be nice to be able to easily do this at home without tearing apart stuff and permanently voiding the warranty. COBB Accessport for the 992 would be my ideal for sure, but no available. Nor
do they even have a clue as to when they will
roll it out!

Perhaps that is why there is no COBB access port solution for the 992.
Warranty is void no matter how you look at is, so you should go with somebody you trust.
M-engineering is adding dealers daily, so if there is a tuner near you that you trust to do the install, just ask them to submit an application to carry the product.

FWIW, Mitch McKee with M-engineering used to be the lead of the Porsche team at COBB.

I for one, don’t know any tuners or shops anywhere in the area. Just a regular guy that doesn’t go to a track, do meets or club runs, etc. I just wanna get a little extra oomph from my car, if at all possible, while doing it in my garage in an idiot proof way by someone with little to no mechanical skills. Tall order, I know.....

I believe APR is tuning the 992 now. They are very reliable, they have a long history of tuning vehicles. I have used a couple of their Audi tunes, they are a bit more conservative than others, and they do a lot of testing before release.

As mentioned, our engineers started tuning the 3.2 L Carrera back in late 83 and have programmed every 911 model since. Our headquarters is in Germany and part of our development takes place on the Autobahn. The Autobahn is the ultimate proving grounds. The Autobahn ensures that our software engineers must produce power without sacrificing reliability. Countless kilometers at wide open throttle certainly weeds out any tuner who cannot program with engine safety in mind.

Not sure if your reply/comment was specifically about the company above or in general. Seems most do require the ecu to be removed and sent in, which has been the norm with most unless you go in persona and have them do it on site. I'd have to be out of my mind and loving to blow money to forgo the factory warranty for 4 years on a new car in exchange for some tuning. That is exactly what would happen the moment I show up for maintenance or a problem and they plug in the car. Especially for someone like myself that won't track, etc. That is why something easily removable without trace like the COBB is so attractive to me personally.
