Softronic ECU Flash Porsche 996 TT X50
The 996 X50 package is an upgrade from the standard 996 Turbo to include the bigger K24 turbos and GT2 intercoolers. This car is making 450hp at the crank from the factory. Much like the GT2, these bigger turbos still have more to give. Softronic can flash the stock ECU to gain another 40 horsepower and 50ft/lbs of torque to the crank.
Stock Power - 450HP and 457ft/lbs
Tuned Power - 490HP and 507ft/lbs
Softronic flashes all the Porsche 996 cars through the OBDII port. With their Flasher Client software, they are reading a full 1mb of the file to completely tune the ECU. Other companies claim to be able to do this, but are only read 128kb and making global changes. The ECU flash will alter your boost, fuel, and timing maps to give you a very linear increase over stock. The stock 996 Turbo X50 makes about .8 - .9 bar of boost. Once flashed, the car will pull harder in all gears at 1.1 - 1.2 bar of boost. Softronic tunes using the factory knock and oxygen sensors to ensure you get the best map the first time. Basic bolt on modifications like Diverter Valves, Exhaust, and Intake do not require the re-reflash of the ECU, they only bring out further performance of the vehicle. For those worried about check engine lights, there are none! For those running a high flow cat exhaust systems or straight pipes, Softronic raises the O2 levels which will eliminate any CEL's. Once the car is flashed, the turbos will come on much quicker and the car will pull harder to redline. The overall improvement of drivability makes the 996 Turbo X50 even more fun then it was originally. Since warranty is always a concern, Softronic also provides you with your original file. With this original file you can flash your car back to stock at any point. If you go to the dealer, there will be nothing visible through the Porsche PIWIS system. Softronic can program your vehicle no matter what country you are from or what octane you use. We have different maps for those running 91 octane or 93 octane and higher.
What are the benefits/functions of going with Softronic compared to the competition?
Softronic does not require the removal of your ECU from the car. There is no down time at all.
Your car can be flashed at your convenience from the comfort of your own garage.
Softronic reflashing is done via a Client Cable that is connected to the OBDII port. The customer simply plugs the cable into the car and reads the file with a laptop per the instructions with the cable. Once the file is downloaded, it is emailed to the Softronic secure server where the file is tuned and then emailed back to the client. The client simply uploads the file and they are done. Total process is about 1 hour.
Reflashing is done according to the vehicles octane level of pump gas and modifications are taken into account (Intake, Headers, Exhaust) to enhance power gains.
Another function available through Softronic is the Launch Control. This allows the driver to initiate a launch at 5200 RPM with .2 Bar of boost. To Learn More

Softronic ECU Flash Porsche 996 TT X50 Reviews:
Posted by - Jeff Jensen
"My 2002 996 x-50 already had an ECU flash from a different company when I purchased it. The car was already seriously fast and fun. Subsequently Vivid Racing did all the engine modifications described above, Garrett GT2860RS turbos, Tial external wastegates, on and on. Vivid also used Softronic ECU mapping to create the new engine tune that complimented the engine modifications . The resulting transformation in performance was so astounding and intense that I basically had to relearn how to drive the car fast. I remain amazed with the result of this tune and get a very broad grin every time I drive it. What also continues to completely surprise me is how easy the car is around town and in heavy traffic conditions. The flexibility, practicality and stability of the tune resulting from the Softronic ECU flash is impressive. With these engine hardware modifications and the Softronic tune I can go berserk on the track to enjoy the extremely high performance limits of the vehicle and in those circumstances the Turbo performs and sounds like the utterly wonderful beast it is. I can leave the track, get stuck in traffic and the Turbo behaves as if stock. My car has run insanely fast, strong and flawlessly since the hardware modifications and Softronic flash. I strongly recommend this package to anyone with a 996 Turbo with a real addiction to acceleration and performance–you essentially get back a totally viable track and road machine that only the most stupidly expensive of hyper-exotics could begin to compare with on any level."

"I used the Softronic software to tune my 996 X-50 turbo and the results were great. My car now accelerates harder than before and can sustain 1.0 – 1.1 Bar boost on a consistant and reliable basis. The install was easy and the Softronic technician was easy to work with."

"Very simple to use, once you receive your cable, plug it into your OBDII Port and a Windows laptop with internet and follow these instructions... and you are done!"
