    Porsche 997 Turbo OBDII ECU Flashing has Launched

    Publishsed by Dan on August 27th, 2009 | Posted in Product Info, Tuning & Tech | No Comments »

    After months of testing, programming, and engineering, Softronic has become the first tuner to give customers the ability to flash their ECU in the Porsche 997 Turbo via the OBDII port. This release of the Version 3.0 software comes after 2 years of having to do it the old fashion way, bench flashing. With a change in technology, the new 997 Turbo was not able to be flashed like the older 996 Turbo via the OBDII port. However, Softronic has raised the bar and change all that with this release. This is a first in many ways for the Porsche Tuning community. The ECU Flash is total process of about 30 mins. Once completed, your car will gain nearly 60 horsepower and 55 ft/lbs of torque. All Softronic Tuning is based off the factory knock and oxygen sensors to ensure safe, accurate, and reliable power added. With this new OBDII ECU Flash capability, there is no downtime, altering the main ECU box, or inconsistencies from poor coding or tools. With 30 years of Porsche experience and the official data verification for Porsche Motorsports, you can assure that having your car tuned by Softronic will be the best!

    This product is available for immediate purchase at $2795 including the FREE Client Cable. Get more information by visiting our Porsche 997 Turbo ECU Tuning Page Here.

    Softronic does 3 things different that make the ability to tune your Porsche 997 Turbo efficiently and conveniently. First, Softronic uses a Client Cable that simply plugs into the OBDII port and then connects to your laptop. All of Softronic file transferring is done on a secure server that Softronic’s Flasher Client Software sends the files to and from with. This is necessary to maintain the security of your VIN and IMOB coded ECU and make sure that all files are for the proper vehicle. By using this method, there is no need to remove your ECU from the car, no need to have additional equipment to flash it, and no need to worry about dealer warranty.

    Second, when you receive your tuned file specifically for your car, Softronic also sends you your true ORIGINAL file that can be flashed back to your ECU at anytime. This is exactly what it is, the original. Others have a “stock” file that can be loaded, but it is not your true original read out. Others “stock” file can be detected by the factory Porsche PIWIS diagnostic tool.

    Lastly, Softronic is 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. With this superior ability from Softronic, you can be sure that each individual lambda and timing table is tuned properly. You never had to worry about re-reflashing your car for basic things like race gas, exhaust, intake, etc.

    With our Guarantee to our customers, the easiest Installation available, and Online Support, Softronic is the best answer for those 997 Turbo owners wanting more power from their vehicle.
