Porsche Panamera S ECU Tuned to Perfection

The Porsche Panamera S comes stocked up with a 4.8L 400 horsepower engine that can be very fun to cruise around.  It does lack that major kick that the turbo does, but a great way to improve the performance and driveability is with an ECU Flash.  The VR Tuned flash adjusts the cars fuel and timing maps.  In addition we can also play with the cat codes, speed limiter, rev limiter, and torque limiters.  Having proved the Panamera S flash on our dyno in the past, its always fun to see others reactions to their newly transformed cars.  The Siemens SDI6 ECU needs to be bench flashed right now, but we are working on a OBDII flash for the future!  Check out the these customer pics below.  Ready to order your Panamera ECU Flash, Go Here.

Porsche 997.2 Carrera 4S Tuned to Beat the Buddies

The DFI (Direct Fuel Injection) Porsche 997.2 Carrera was released for the 2009 and 2010 models as a facelift and engine change to the 997.1 Carrera from 05-08.  The Carrera variant was still available in a 3.6L or 3.8L engine but now the new “automatic” versions was the start of the PDK transmission.  Shifting incredibly fast, the PDK was leaps and bounds better than the Tiptronic.  Producing 380 horsepower to the crank, the 997.2 Carrera S has more to give much like the earlier 997.1 Carrera.  Doing an ECU flash is a great way to improve the 997.2 Carrera’s throttle response, low end torque, and mid range pull to redline.  When we tune the 997.2, we alter things like the torque limiter, speed limiter, fueling, timing, and can make changes for high flow or catless exhausts.  The ECU Flash done to the Siemens SDI3 ECU is very easy all via the OBDII port following our instructions at www.vrtuned.com/installation.

As this customer put it, “My friends will be even more jealous.  Here’s a pic, quick, and easy!”  You can order your Porsche 997 Carrera Flash Here.

Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust System for the Porsche Cayman GT4

Engineers have spent months developing a Slip-On exhaust system that takes the driving experience to a completely new level. This fully titanium exhaust system with three muffler configurations saves weight at the rear axle, additionally enhancing the handling with more power and torque gained with improved gas-flow dynamics, reduced back pressure, and a more linear power curve. Power gains are especially noticeable in the mid range. All these pluses are rounded off by a thoroughly pleasing sound note.

Thanks to the dual-mode exhaust flap system, the “cat-back” Slip-On enhances the unmistakably deep resonant sound of Akrapovic. Either you leave it to the car’s ECU to choose the noise level, or you select it yourself by pressing the button of the optional Akrapovic sound kit when it’s time to experience the passion.  This fully titanium exhaust system with three muffler configurations saves weight at the rear axle, improves handling with more power and torque gained with better gas-flow dynamics, reduces back pressure and creates a more linear power curve (power gains are especially noticeable in the mid range).
