Default Has anyone Upsolute your Cayenne?

It looks pretty cheap to me compared to GIAC, has anyone done it to your Cayenne?

V6 250 -> 270hp
S 340 -> 358hp
TT 450 -> 530hp

in all honesty the price sounds right.. I think the $1500 others are charging is out of control. the only suspect part is the remote programing.. Please. Hard to believe.

heres the response:

The programming costs are $700 plus $25 for labor. It would require two appointments - one to read the information off the ECU and a second about a week later to upload the modified file. You can expect a gain of about 25HP and 25 ft/lbs of torque.

So, we're up to $1000-1100 and then add the cost to get to a shop if you're not in the same city as a distributor/tech rep. I'm not convinced that you could notice these small increases in HP.. does anyone really feel that this would make a difference for daily driving in a Cayenne V6 or S? Turbo maybe?

I would only do it if I had the turbo.. I wouldnt risk warranty (I got the 100k plan) for 25 measily HP.

Evo can do the same for 1200 CS and 2K for the turbo, just through the ODB port claimed 45hp for the CS and 80HP for the CTT
