Chris,
I'm on the fence between a local shop doing the tune, fvd and another tune for a 09 turbo(w/ fabspeed exhaust) I read in another post somewhere that you switched to fvd from something else.. What software did you have before?, and what was the difference?? I'm on LI and notice you are too.. Thanks for your thoughts

Was the fvd a big noticable difference? Im also considering softronic-- P-car guys on the DFC board all rave about it--I just dont know if I believe the 615hp/615tq claims.. Also do you know anybody who has used Manhattan Motorsports in Roslyn? He claims to write his own software???

Kip Harris is the guy at manhattan motorsports in roslyn, he used to be at farnbacherloles, good guy, very knowledgeable. I believe their software is based on the revo.
The only negative I've heard about softrionics is that they turn off the CEL feature, personally I'd want to know what's going on.

I spoke to Bobby at MM... I asked about their program-he only said they write their own... He said they will dyno before and after to show me the hp/tq gains... Im a little leary of the R&D with their tune...Do you know anybody who used them?

No, not on a 997tt, but I know a guy with the 996tt package is very happy.
That being said, I believe that they do in fact use the revo software with some minor custom tweaks.

Softronic does not turn off the CEL.
