Upgraded Your Porsche 997 VTG Turbos and Not Making Boost?

Tuesday, September 29, 2009 posted by SoftronicTuning.com

Once you upgrade your 997TT VTG Turbochargers and flash the car from us at SoftronicTuning.com, you need to calibrate or initialize the wastegate actuators.  This can ONLY be done using a Porsche PIWIS tool which all Porsche dealers have.  The ECU program file is working, but the car needs to communicate with the new turbo actuators.  To do this process, simply follow these instructions with your shop:

1. Warm up the car.
2. Use the PIWIS tester and perform a full search of the cars control units faults and erase all the faults . This is under “Special Functions” under the 997.
3. Next go into “DME”.
4. Next select “System Check”.
5. Next select “Adaption of boost pressure actuator”
6. Make sure all the pre requisites are good and perform the function by pressing F8.

Porsche 997TT VTG Upgrade 700HP Tune

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 posted by SoftronicTuning.com

Porsche 997TT VTG Upgrade 700HP Tune – $2795

Softronic has developed an ECU tune for those 997 Turbo owners running upgraded VTG turbochargers. The upgraded VTG system retains all the factory components, but with a larger compressor and clipped wheel, these turbos can now produce up to 700 horsepower to the crank. Modifications should be consulted with a installer and the assistance of Softronic to maximize the potential of your vehicle. The tuned file is designed to retain the factory boost controller and up your boost level. For those running catless race pipes, Softronic raises the O2 limiters which trick the computer from throwing a CEL. This map is available for a 91 octane or 93 octane pump gas car as well.

Softronic is now one of the only companies in the world that can do OBDII ecu flashing of the 997 Turbo. 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. Softronic will also provided you with your original file. With this original file you can flash your car back to stock at any point. This map includes 2 revisions in the price. If revisions are necessary, you must provide the dyno sheet showing HP, TQ, Boost, and AFR as well as a Durametric Datalog. Durametric cable is required for this.

vr750beforeandafterWith corresponding performance mods this map was tested on a 997TT Tiptronic to make 557 all wheel horsepower on a Mustang Dyno. With a 25% drivetrain loss, that is a 696hp to the crank.

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.
  • All ECU Flashes include the Client Flash Cable. You can opt to upgrade to the Durametric Cable which allows you to flash the car, datalog, turn off warning lights, and more. This is piece is sold seperately for $400.
