I was however, interested in the banter about it on forums. The previous car was a 4CS, and that would not have made much of a difference to justify me to going through the long winded exercise to flash the ECU. With the current car being a 997.1 Turbo, I now felt it to be more justified. The prices and the long process involved were still too high for me, but …………..the SOFTRONIC ECU tune from Dan at Vivid Racing was much more reasonable, in both price and the convenience. So, I ordered one from Dan, and received the cable 2 days ago. Yesterday (Tuesday), I hooked up my laptop, softronic cable, battery charger, downloaded the programme; and my ECU file was uploaded and automatically within 25 minutes. I just wanted you to know that the process was very easy, and in fact, quite satisfying. Today (Wednesday) both the tuned file and the original file were emailed to me. The car is easier and more pleasurable to drive. This must be because the power seems more linear and starts being available lower down the rev range. On heavy acceleration, there is much more urgency and quite a rush! Cornering in more acute corners, I am getting more tyre squirm upon applying the power. (I wonder if I can reduce these squirms with Bridgestones instead of my pilot sports). In short, I am enjoying the change so far. Flashing the ECU was something I had never considered seriously.

Process is simple and instructions very easy to follow. Takes 20 minutes to send copy of original flash, was returned 1 1/2 days later and took only a few minutes to download the new file. softronic flash on my 2008 997tt made a huge difference! very noticeable power gain and still very smooth as my DD.

The process is very easy and Dan from Vivid Racing offered exceptional customer service and walked me through the steps over the phone. I am amazed with the gains my car now has, its amazing. The car is very smooth and the car pulls really hard on the top end. I wish I would have purchased this tune earlier. I am very happy with my Softronic ECU tune for my 997 TT.

It is a definite \WOW\ ... I could not believe the difference the first time I floored it! It is an animal even in non-sport mode when you get into the boost -- but doesn't seem to have lost any driveability around town. I'm now considering if the brakes are up to the task, no kidding. The tuning process itself was pretty user friendly, as described. I received the tune file withing 24 hrs of uploading, and then got my original file back the following day. The fact that I have the control and could switch back to original at any time is an absolutely great feature. Kudos to Softronic and the team at Vivid, who provided excellent service throughout -- thanks! Also tuned a 997TT with softronic.

INSANE after flash!! Car runs awesome!! Dan, thanks again for the tech support. The Softronic tune was worth every penny. The install took 5 minutes to load and it'll take months to peel the smile off my face. I really like the fact that you can switch tunes back and forth (although I don't see a need to) and the car retains all driveability without being twitchy or quirky. Again.. BIG props to Jon G. and Dan at Vivid. I've been buying there for a few months now and they are extremely helpful and easy to deal with. Thanks again guys. -Pete "Showking" Maurro 2007 997 turbo….

I have had several high HP cars taht I have modded in the past. Dan was very quick to answer all my questions. Flash arrived in about 5 days and was very easy to do. It took about 40 min to pull the original file and less than 10 min to load it. I am very very happy with it. Some prior cars I had, (Audi A4, Audi S4, 993 TT, 996TT) all had to send the ECU in to do the flash. I have a 07 997TT that I ordered my Flash from Dan.

Now being able to tune my 997 TT through the obd port myself is worth the price of admission and having the power to change back to original condition at my command is huge and gives me an added dimension no other tuner can offer. Thanks again for the superior service during my experience. If you guys were only closer you would get in my pocket quite often. By the way not to forget about the fun part, the power difference is insane. I thought I would have trouble noticing anything but boy was I wrong. If anyone is on the fence have them send me an email and I will be glad to get them off. Thanks. Dan,
