I went with a FVD tune. No complaints at all.

I think it was about $1200. Claimed hp was like 99. I haven't noticed any decrease in mpg. If I had to do it again I would in a heart beat. Absolutely the biggest bang for the buck mod I have done.

Make a list of all your mods, they will ask for them. The ladies name is Rhonda. She's in Florida I believe. She is super helpful.

Good to know - means they’re tuning for the mods

I pulled the trigger last week on the VR stage 2 tune for my 2015 Turbo when they offered a 15% discount off the $1250 list price. They are claiming I can achieve 638HP | 693ft/lbs. I plan to do a full write up on here of the experience, fingers crossed it is a good one!

I regret to report that today I had to open a dispute with AMEX to refund my purchase from Vivid Racing / VR Tuned. It has been 21 days since I placed the order and I keep getting the run around and have not received anything. After this experience, I am blown away that this "8 figure company" is still in business. Caveat emptor!

I was eyeing their tune as well until I dug a bit deeper and read some pretty concerning stuff about them. Sorry to hear that it held true for you.

I have a 2012 958 cayenne turbo with the full Fabspeed kit (filters, intake plenum, secondary cat delete, axle back exhaust, and 91 octane tune). Curious if anyone knows if any of the above tuners will tune for e85 or e30-e40 on the 958 turbo's? My other option is to get methanol injection which would help clean the intake valves as well.

Can’t comment on the gas type but reach out to softronics and see if they are willing.
I have roughly similar mods to you but have 82mm TB and manifold and looking into a custom plenum soon and potentially custom intercooler and piping all the way to the plenum if it doesn’t cost a fortune. The only other option would be new turbos - but could get expensive quick (drop engine).
methanol is interesting but you should also make sure your intake valves are cleaned as mine were completely clogged. Lastly I use cosmos racing ignition coils and forge diverter valves

I put the EVOMS tune on my 2011 958TT a few months ago (SIP boredom and restlessness driven) with secondary cat deletes, exhaust, and BMS intakes, and I couldn't be happier. I wasn't expecting much difference but the WOT highway pulls are a lot more exciting now. So far fuel economy in normal driving hasn't taken a huge dip either, when I tuned my 955TT everything suffered.

Just heard back from EVOMS and they have developed a sort of flexfuel that will adjust from 91 all the way up to E25. They said they were able to pick up some good gains with E25 but going beyond that didn't achieve much more and gets complicated to tune. Just emailed back asking if they have any dyno numbers or 1/4 time improvements. Not sure if its worth the ~$1500 to buy their tuner and switch. I am sure I could sell my Fabspeed device with 91 octane tune.
