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.

On our test car that we dynoed, you can see on the dyno sheet that the peak torque for All Wheel Horsepower on the Mustang Dyno was a 32ft/lbs gain. The horsepower also increased with its largest gain in the mid range RPM of 4500 to 6000 with a gain of about 30awhp. With a drivetrain loss on a Mustang Dyno of about 25%, this X50 is now a 997 Turbo killer!
