I am trying to decide if you are trying to be funny, sarcastic, or simply uninformed and blue eyed. Not sure.

 

Tuning in my experience, today I installed the akrapovic exhaust with bmc filters and 200 cell downpipes. When we did the M-engineering tune the carrera 992 gts gave 547 whp I think it’s prettying good but the performance went down drastically when it’s started to get hot, I really believe you need Intercoolers for this car, I got a new map from m engineering adjusting some altitude parameters. I believe ( or my local tuner thinks) the car should do 580 whp to the wheels so tomorrow we are going to try it.

( all above was in my experience)

 

If people are worried about the warranty on their engines, then don't bother to post in these threads. It amazes me how many people just read a thread about tuning and then start talking about warranty when they have no intention of ever modifying their own car or may not even own one. Go start a thread on warranty. Your input here is senseless. For the rest, who want to modify their cars and are not at the holy grail of warranty, carry on.

 

Just ordered a tune for my 4S from M engineering. Can’t wait to see what she puts down in the real world. My previous car was exclusively tracked for 26k miles by original owner who heavily modified it and I drove it another 10k without a hiccup. I’m pretty sure the current owner is smiling ear to ear. You gotta give more credit to Porsche cmon man

 

Dear naysayers, its 2022, m-engineering for example is technical partners with Porsche NA. Does anyone logically believe PNA would partner with a tuner to only grenade their motors, lol? Tune with a trusted source and its extremely unlikely you'll ever have a issue. Heck, my dealership even installs tunes like APR. As technology progresses I'd venture these types of tales are becoming more myth than truth. I've had all my modern pcars tuned and never once did a dealership deny a warrenty claim, nor did they notice it was tuned...or atleast they didn't ask / tell me they noticed it.

 

Looks some people got up on the wrong foot this morning, complaining about what people can or can not post on open forums. Chill, gentlemen, move on, it adds nothing to the topic either. My 2c

 

What you guys need to understand is that the people who warn about warranties don’t realize that everybody already knows this. They think that they are the first people broaching this subject.

I know, as early on I sort of did the same thing. Then I tuned, and now I read people posting about warranties and roll my eyes as well, but it’s ok. A few of them will eventually say “f@&k it!” and tune their cars as well. It’s a journey, as the initial excitement about your car fades and you begin to catch the mod fever

Not really - the thread is named "is anyone tuning yet"...natural answer is responding yes or no and provide a reason why. I myself have had many tuned cars and still have 2 tuned and 3 not tuned. Yet, I chime in when people falsely claim that tunes cause no warranty issue and Porsche does not care, turns a blind eye etc. If these false claims would not be repeated 100 times nobody would challenge and correct it. And now a bunch of people will get on me tell me they never had an issue, their Porsche dealer installed it and is cool with it (mine installs GIAC tunes) and on it goes. Any of you guys blasting the "warranty" guys - I like to see your stance when your manufacturer black lists your car and an engine swap/repair is north of $20k. So, cut out the false claims and nobody will respond to it.

 

M-engineering stage 2 akra downpipes and bmc filter

 

Congrats on the tune. Do you have any clips or videos? I am looking to do the same....

 

Good points. There are many factors that effect the decision whether to tune. The age of the vehicle and any effect on a pending warranty is just one of many factors to be considered. Anyone who takes the time to read this thread will see that the warranty problems are also recognized by the tuners themselves. See Charles from M Engineering (great company and product) post above recognizing that warranty is a potential issue and also the APR response. APR actually offers a supplemental warranty with its tune to address this issue. So, the people who develop, sell and service tunes recognize it is a legitimate issue and actually discuss it in this thread which is preferable to an ostrich-like response. Hope is not a viable risk management plan. Moreover, the warranty factor also effects the WHEN I tune as well as the IF I tune. But, I do appreciate the open-minded RL members who welcome contrary views expressed by others and realize that everyone does not wear the same size and style of shoe. Thank you for reminding all that this thread was originally by “991.1 Guy” with a question that encourages debate and discussion regarding the decision to tune. Everyone is invited to respond to that original question. It was not started by those who discount any opinion which is different than their own.

 

Good for you. I am glad you have pockets deep enough to cover all risks and any contingencies. But, many RL members do not. I think many 992 owners are looking to tune their cars in a few years when their factory warranties expire and/or after headers are installed first. There is no reason to alienate or discount those members since it is their 992, their $ and their decision after all. You should support their decision to wait just like they support your decision to not wait with your car and your $. I see the meritorious argument for both positions. When and why others chose to tune is their decision, not mine, so I do not criticize that decision. No more complicated than that.

 

Ok then those same rennlisters should wait till their warranty expires. Not everyone has the same levels of concern. It’s also not cool to bash on the guys who are not afraid to tune and venture into the unknown. If not for them the tuners would never advance the technology. And you guys who are on the fence would have nothing to be on the fence about. The Warranty Worriers do not support the guys who tune. That’s part of this entire argument. If you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen

 

Did I miss something? Who is bashing the guys who have tuned their cars? Seems this conversation lost any correlation to its origin. Lets move on, it becomes boring.
