Went to the nearest highway, accelerated up the on-ramp and quick moved over a few lanes - with so much torque, responsiveness of the throttle and elimination of most of the turbo lag, I was pushed quickly into the back of the seat and reached 120mph without even realizing it. So much smoother! Loaded the software in less than 5 mins and took the car out to see how it would perform.

The difference is amazing, the acceleration pushes you flat into your seat! No issues whatsoever in regular driving, the car even seems to run smoother. Purchase and installation smooth and easy, cable sent right away, read took 15 min, uploaded file, received tuned file next day. Actual flash took 2 minutes and car was up and running. Real happy!

It took me less than 5 minutes to load the tuned file to my 997's ECU.. Instead of using wi-fi, I wired my laptop to my internet for a faster connection. After the upload, I clicked the "finished" button and switch on the ignition. The idling went up a bit to 1,000 rpm, but when I revved the car, I could hear and feel the beast in the car. Took it for a drive, and wow and OMG, the 997 took off like a rocket. I guess the additional expected 80 gain made the 997 a 560hp supercar. Thanks to Dan and to Billy of Vividracing. More power to you. I just uploaded my tuned file to my 2007 99tTT yesterday. It took me less than 5 minutes to load the tuned file to my 997’s ECU..

With 480 horsepower to the crank and Variable Vein Turbos, this car is one to be scared of. But as with any other turbocharged car, there is more hidden inside it. With some adjustments to the boost level, timing, and air fuel ratio, Softronic can create a monster out of the stock 3.6L 997 Turbo.

Idling and normal (off-boost) driving is normal and still smooth to use even in traffic ... Aggressive driving however is another story ... The car seems to have a different personality after this flash, first time out I buried the go fast pedal in second gear and as soon as boost came on the car broke traction in all 4 wheels with psm on!!! I LOVE IT ... It really should come with a warning .... More power is on tap earlier, all the way up to the new 7K rpm redline, another detail I loved ..... Thanks to Dan@Vivid and the tuners at Softronic for this wonderful product ... More to come after testing with race fuel ...

Now, I am not and engineer , mechanic or professional car driver ,therefore I dont have any HP/Torque/rpm curves to show, my evaluation is totally subjective and feel. I drive to feel the connection between the road and machine as it interfaces through my senses.

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.
