Default What tune for built 997.2 with PDK

My build should be finishing up in the next week or two (forged internals) and now I’m at the point I need to figure out what to do with the tune. Currently the car has a Cobb with pdk tune (yet to flash it, car went down before I could load it). I had planned to flash the pdk and run Cobb stage 3. The car has awe intercoolers, Cobb 3 bar sensors, full catless IPE exhaust, do88 charge pipe, EvoSpec crank, rods (carillo, with carr bolts), CP pistons (dry lube skirts), apr studs, and every other internal component that is wearable is replaced.

Now, the car has 60,000 miles and I don’t want to blow up the pdk. This is my daily driver.

thank you for the advice.

I don't see any reason to move away from cobb AP as a tuning platform. the important thing is to get a protune from a reputable tuner. With all the money you must have invested in this, a proper custom tune is needed to make all the pieces come together.

I wasn’t planning on it but who does everyone recommend to tune it and how exactly does that work as I am not near anyone who is on the forums?

I had Scott Slausen tune my 997.2 Turbo with the SoftTronic Software, and my car was a 600 HP beast with no issues, no CEL's. A fantastic tune. Look him up if you have any questions. He's very good with responding.

Sam at ByDesign is a wizard at tuning Porsche 911 Turbo cars, including the 997's. He was who I went with for my tune. Just curious are you planning on running your OEM turbos, just asking as you built a forged engine?
