Need some ECU/Tuning advice

My Porsche Technician trumps anything said on this forum, so I'm not influenced by anyone's bias. He has earned my trust and that counts.
I'm very excited about picking up my turbo on Tuesday from the shop. He installed the FVD tune and I'm told its a mean machine and that I'm going to love it.
Before the decision going with FVD; we sat down in his office and covered every detail about the different brands of tunes. His experience covered them all. Bottom line; he believes that FVD is the best overall value and would match up with my BBI exhaust great.
He has had problems with tunes before; but not FVD. So not sure what Speed21 is on; but it must be a mission.
I'll let y'all know the honest truth about this tune good or bad. Not a third part story teller.

I know you will love it as I have for the past 4 to 5 years
Your technician sounds like a wise man

Here we go again…Nick you may be good with your tricks both on and off line trying to convince certain folk that you are some kind of "real deal", but by now I hope you realise it doesn't take much for me at all to find out who is who in the industry zoo, and I'm talking about the real world here. And, you are not the real deal at all, merely just a solo owner of a Porsche car that has happened to have spent money with a particular company, now hoping to canoodle them into believing you can do actually something for them as a scavenger on the trade. Frankly, when it comes to the parts industry anyone half smart seeking to buy anything would know they are far better emailing or picking up the phone to the source direct rather than feeding small fry parasites that essentially know nothing to very little at best.
Anyway, back to topic if we may.
About Mental Illness Treatments & Services
About_Treatments_and_Supports
Most people diagnosed with mental illness can experience relief from their symptoms by actively participating in an individual treatment plan. Numerous treatments and services for mental illnesses are available. The choice and combination of treatment and services selected depends in most cases on the type of mental illness, the severity of symptoms, the availability of options and decisions determined by the individual, often in consultation with their health care provider and others. Most people with mental illness report that a combination of treatments, services and supports works best to support their recovery.

I wonder why. I think that lack of money appears to be eating you up "brother". Please accept money isn't everything and should not stand in the way of honesty.
Time to put down your axe and put up a decent contribution for a change. It isn't all about being popular amongst "the boys" surely? And, try and stay on topic...

It is pretty easy to see why so few are prepared to offer anything technical on this board when imbeciles are allowed to derail threads and suppress information by bombarding defensive hate against anyone prepared to offer sound advice or opinion.

I disagree.
Exchanging personal experiences, good and bad, is essential in a technical forum.
Regarding FVD, their HQ in Germany had no idea whatsoever how to make a proper DME upgrade for a GT3.
I've learned this the hard way.
That said, they do have good prices for certain parts and I've been a happy customer. But for an ECU tune; I'd definitely look elsewhere.

As a consequence of people now going for a ride in my car, at least two and likely 3 other local PCA members are planning to buy Softronic.
Obviously there are lots of choices, but I was impressed with my first Softronic experience as a passenger and it has only gotten better from there.

My first experience with Softronic was in a friends 997.1 TT, and it was smooth, very quick and easy to install. About a year later, after my exhaust upgrade, I put Softronic on my own turbo. Not only did it feel even quicker (running 94 octane), but I was surprised by how much smoother and more responsive the accelerator pedal was. I didn't mind the increased red line either.

It is always a good idea to upgrade your clutch with a tune but I wouldn't do it until your stock clutch is worn out (unless you have deep pockets and don't care.)
The clutch has a lot to do with the way you drive. I'm very easy on clutches..
That is just my opinion. The best upgrade is to the Sachs stage 2.5 from AWE tuning..
I have the a race gas tune that produces about 600 hp and I still have the stock clutch with 67k miles.. When it finally gives up I will go with the Sachs 2.5.
I hope this helps..
