Porsche 997 Carrera in for VR Tuned ECU Flash
The Porsche 911 is synonymous with performance cars. For decades it has been the performance benchmark to beat. With multiple versions of the 911 offered, Porsche keeps power limited on the lower models to protect the sales of the higher models. Such is the case with the 997 Carrera S. Luckily, the aftermarket offers tons of parts which can increase the performance of the 997. An ECU tune is the best bang-for-buck way to get extra power out of your Porsche, even if you already have other aftermarket modifications.
An ECU flash works by adjusting the parameters your engine computer tries to stay within. These parameters include things like air/fuel rations, ignition timing, and many more. By making these parameters more aggressive, engine output is increased. Here at Vivid Racing we are massive Porsche fans and our tuning department, VR Tuned, has works hard on making our Porsche tunes very reliable and very powerful. In the case of the 997.1 Carrera S, you can expect gains of 13hp and 12lb-ft once the tune is installed. With aftermarket modifications such as an intake and exhaust, power gains can be even larger.

I was told my 997.1 S had your vr tune on it. How can I confirm and does the tune support catless exhaust set up? Fairly local to you guys so got check out the shop one day.

Does the car have a cable kit somewhere? A small red or black box in the glove box? No way to physically tell, we would have to read out the ECU to see. Or you can PM me the previous owners name and I can see if we have it on file. If the original owner had it tuned for the catless exhaust then it will work, but if not then you will still get a CEL and need a reflash
