Porsche Macan S Shows Off 60-130mph and Launch Control

The Porsche Macan S tuning box has been one of the best things to come for the 3.0L Turbo mini SUV.  Very sporty to race around town, the power it can achieve from a little boost is pretty impressive.  Our Tuning Box kit plugs into the cars boost, manifold, and camshaft sensors as well as a power and ground terminal to deliver 60 horsepower and over 100 nm of torque.  The Tuning Box kit features a dial on the back to change the setting based on your pump octane and from there is really no maintenance.  If need be, the tuning box can be easily unplugged and removed for warranty purposes.  Our customer Chuck, part of the Macan Forums, recently installed his and did a couple videos for us.

The first video is of his Macan S using Launch Control.  You can see the ferocity in how hard the 3.0L turbo pulls with the new tuning box kit.  The second video shows a comparison of taking his Macan to 130 mph.  One is a start at 70mph and one is a start at 84mph.  Enjoy the pics and videos and order your Macan S 3.0L Turbo Tuning Box Here.

Original Post

Installed on my 2015 Macan Turbo. I’ve only logged about 50 miles to date…but the thing works exactly as advertised and the installation is a snap. I highly recommend it.

So I received the unit yesterday and almost immediately opened it up and installed this thing. There are good instructions on their website…but I thought the pictures left a little to be desired so here are my pictures that you can use with their instructions.

What’s in the box (tuner module, harness, instructions)

After you’ve shut the car down and locked it with the keys WAY far away.

Step 1 – Remove this guy. Pretty simple, just pull straight up.

What it should look like after remove cover.

So the installation essentially is as simple as unplugging a sensor, plugging it into the harness, and plugging the harness into the OEM location (three times) and then hooking up a power and ground.

Sensor 1 (looking for little red wire):

Sensor 2:

They do a great job marking the harness so you can’t screw up which sensor goes where.

Sensor 3:

For power and ground you’re using two factory locations as per the instructions. They’re very easy to get to. The ground is on the fire wall (with wrench on it) and the positive is under the little panel (my photo got messed up)

Now connect the module to harness:

Put the module somewhere safe and out of the way. I chose to use the strut tower as a nice easy place to mount it.
