Softronic ECU Flash Porsche 996 TT 3.6L 01-05

The 996 Turbo is one of the most popular enthusiast and tuner vehicles of its time. With the ability to reach double its stock horsepower and over 200mph on the stock engine, speed junkies are all over the 996 Turbo. Softronic is one of the original engine tuners of this beast. The K16 turbos offer alot more in gains then any other vehicle. It is the best horsepower per dollar to flash your 996 Turbo. The car comes factory making only .6 � .7bar of boost. Once flashed, the car will make a consistant 1.0bar of boost gaining you about 80HP and 90ft/lbs of torque.

Stock Power - 415HP and 413ft/lbs
Tuned Power - 495HP and 503ft/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. 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 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.

Price includes Tuned file and Software with Cable

Softronic ECU Flash Porsche 996 TT X50 and TURBO S

The 996 X50 package is an upgrade from the standard 996 Turbo to include the bigger K24 turbos and GT2 intercoolers and now works with the Turbo S Model. 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

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.

Fabspeed XperTune Performance Software ECU Upgrade.

The Fabspeed Porsche 996 Turbo XperTune Performance Software is a specialist ECU tuning upgrade developed for Porsche 911 Turbo, Turbo S and X50-equipped models of the 996 generation, manufactured between 2000 and 2005.

Fits:

• Porsche 996 TURBO 2000-05

Developed by Fabspeed Motorsport, this performance software is designed to optimise the factory engine management calibration, increasing horsepower, torque and throttle responsiveness while retaining the everyday driving characteristics of the Porsche 996's twin-turbocharged 3.6-litre flat-six engine.

The XperTune system uses a supplied handheld programming device that connects to the vehicle through its OBD-II diagnostic port, allowing the original ECU data to be read and a customised performance calibration to be installed without physically removing the ECU.

Unlike conventional tuning methods that require the ECU to be removed and sent away for bench programming, the Fabspeed system provides a convenient, reversible approach to engine performance optimisation.

By adjusting selected engine management parameters, including fuel delivery, sensor-related calibration and turbocharger boost control where applicable, the software is designed to improve engine output and deliver stronger acceleration.

Fabspeed advertises performance improvements of up to 78 horsepower and 90 lb-ft of torque for the standard Porsche 996 Turbo 3.6L.

For Turbo S and X50-equipped vehicles, the manufacturer publishes separate figures reflecting the higher factory power output and different engine configuration.

The supplied handheld device saves the original factory ECU calibration, allowing the vehicle to be returned to its original software configuration when required.

Each tune is prepared using information obtained from the vehicle's ECU and details of its existing engine modifications, helping match the calibration to the vehicle's particular setup.

Ideal for Porsche enthusiasts seeking increased performance without replacing major mechanical engine components, the Fabspeed XperTune upgrade offers a convenient way to enhance the power delivery and driving experience of the Porsche 996 Turbo.

What This Product Does:
The Fabspeed XperTune Performance Software modifies selected calibration parameters stored in the vehicle's Engine Control Unit.

The ECU manages key aspects of engine operation, using information from sensors to control fuel delivery, ignition-related functions and turbocharger boost behaviour.

By optimising these settings for the specified engine configuration, the software is designed to improve performance and responsiveness.

Its key functions and benefits include:

• Increased Horsepower: Fabspeed advertises gains of up to 78 hp for the standard 996 Turbo.
• Improved Torque: Manufacturer-published gains reach 90 lb-ft on the standard Turbo configuration.
• Enhanced Throttle Response: Designed to produce a more immediate and responsive reaction to accelerator input.
• Optimised Boost Control: Adjusts applicable turbocharger boost-control parameters to support the intended performance characteristics.
• Improved Acceleration Potential: Increased engine output can support stronger acceleration under suitable driving conditions.
• Engine Management Optimisation: Revises selected ECU parameters to enhance the engine's performance characteristics.
• Air/Fuel Calibration: Optimises relevant fuel-management parameters for the intended tuning configuration.
• Vehicle-Specific Tuning: Uses original ECU data and information about the vehicle's modifications.
• Convenient OBD-II Programming: Allows the performance calibration to be installed through the diagnostic port.
• No ECU Removal Required: Avoids physically removing the ECU for the standard tuning procedure.
• Reversible Software Upgrade: The handheld device saves the original factory calibration.
• Compatible Performance Modifications: Custom tuning can take account of disclosed exhaust, intake and other supported engine upgrades.
• Improved Driving Experience: Designed to make the twin-turbocharged flat-six feel stronger and more responsive.

Why Upgrading Matters:

• Upgrading the engine management software can provide a significant performance enhancement for a mechanically sound Porsche 996 Turbo.
• The factory ECU calibration is developed to balance engine output, reliability, emissions requirements, fuel quality and everyday driving conditions.
• Fabspeed XperTune provides a performance-focused alternative designed to enhance the characteristics of the twin-turbocharged engine.
