The 997.2 Turbo S is one of the most incredible cars I have ever driven by Porsche. Â Available only in the PDK, the shifting speed and driveability of this car is insane. Â The Turbo S comes stock from Porsche with 530bhp. Â There are 2 things you can do to this car and call it quits on power mods if you wanted to. Â First is an exhaust system. Â The factory exhaust has 400 cell catalytic converters which make it very restrictive. Â Doing a high flow cat or catless exhaust and new muffler will gain you 30-40 horsepower right away. Â Unlike the 997.1 Turbo, the 997.2 Turbo exhaust is 2 pieces with the cats and muffler seperated. Â This opens up many choices from the likes of Fabspeed, Akrapovic, Agency Power, Cargraphic, and more. Â With the exhaust done, the turbos will spool faster and you will have much more power in the mid and top end range. Â But where the performance really kicks in is with the ECU flash. Â The 997.2 Turbo S Siemens SDI3 ECU can be tweaked to give your Porsche 80 horsepower over stock. Â Combined with an exhaust, this would take your 530bhp car to nearly 650bhp! Â Tweaks to the cars boost, fuel, timing maps are done. Â Changes to the throttle mapping improve the car to seem like sport is always active. Â For those running catless or high flow cat pipes, the ECU flash can also deactivate the secondary O2 sensor so you do not trip any faults.
When you own a 997 Turbo or Turbo S, there are two things to remember regarding the ECU flash. Â If you need to go to emissions, you will always want to flash your car back to stock. Â The ECU flash may change the vehicles ready status and this will instantly trigger a fail to pass. Â However if you flash your car back to stock and have an aftermarket exhaust with catless or high flow cat pipes, this may also trigger a CEL. Â So make sure when you are doing your ECU flash, you have your plan set down the road for emissions. Â Second, sport mode is a god send when driving these beasts. Â Sport Plus gives you the same features as Sport but with faster shifting. Â However remember if you are doing lap after lap, or pull after pull, you will be better off running in Standard. Â This is because Sport Mode gives you that extra boost but increases the EGT temperatures that are monitored with the probe in the headers. Â When the EGTs get to high, the car will start to pull back timing and you will lose top end power. Â Something that can be easily repeatable on the dyno or physically felt in the car.
