Default Need Chip recommendations for the 2013 panamera S

Hey guys,

As the title says, I need some recommendations for chips for the panamera s 4.8 non turbo. I know some guys have mentioned race chip but from what i see they only make the chips for the turbo models or the v6. Also any other hp recommendations would be very helpful.

Cheers,
Chris

You're not likely to find much for a NA motor, but the Sprint Power Booster might be a good fit to improve throttle response and drivability. I had one on my NA 996 and it transformed the way the car drove - like it should have been from the factory.

What are your objectives in a tune?

Truthfully to milk a few more HP's from that motor maybe some TQ's. Truthfully, I Am aware the germans tend to max these out right out of the box so i'm anticipating only 30-40 hp's with a few bolt-ons. Generally, the chips work well for the turbo models simply because they increase boost and adjust the fuel ratios so i'm not expecting anything extreme. Just maximization of the current motor.

Cheers,
Chris

You might be really happy w/ an IPD plenum, should be good for your 30-40 hp and allow you to keep the ECU stock. Good luck!

It'll still be valid for the Non turbo? I doubt there will be any fitment issues and the airflow will be improved but i didn't think it would move the need that much.

Cheers,
Chris
