VR Tuned ECU Flash Tune (Panamera Turbo 970.1)

Product Details

The Porsche Panamera might have mixed reviews on its styling, but when it comes to tuning its V8 twin turbocharged engine, there is no question on the performance output that can be had. Like all other Porsche Turbos, the Panamera is no different with the power increase and driveability performance that can be had. As we have seen on other Porsche Turbo vehicles, we can gain anywhere from 80-115HP reliable with just a flash. Improving the vehicles throttle response, reducing the turbo lag, and improving the pull throughout the RPM range is all part of enhancing the vehicle with an ECU tune. Using our very own 2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo, we spent countless hours testing different tuning maps to get the perfect gain in performance. Our Mustang AWD Dyno has a drivetrain loss of about 20-25% which is normal for this low reading machine. The Panamera Turbo comes with 500 crank horsepower and our stock baseline was about 380 to the wheels. With our Stage 1 calibration, we were able to take the car to about 460 wheel horsepower and 410 ft/lbs of torque. The super sedan now goes from 500HP to 600HP with a ECU Flash. Standard mode takes boost pressure up to 1.2bar where Sport and Sport Plus show a change to about 1.3bar. Depending on your exhaust system or other intake mods, you may see +/- 0.1bar of boost difference. Purchase this VR Tuned ECU Flash Tune online.

How to Flash Your ECU?

• Use the DimSport handheld device (+$250).  You can flash between these at anytime.  See Instructions Here.
• Bring your vehicle to our facility where we can use our Master Cable to flash your vehicle.
• We can bench flash the ECU. To bench flash the ECU, you must remove it from your vehicle and send it to us. Once we receive the ECU, we will prepare the tune file and then overnight it back to you for reinstallation. We do not solder or modify the ECU board at all. All ECU tuning is done via bungy probes that have a needle tip to provide an electrical connection. See ECU Removal Instructions Here
