When professional vert skateboarding legend Bucky Lasek picked up his 2001 Porsche 996 Turbo, he needed get rid of that stock status!  So he turned to Vivid Racing to gear up!  Coming from a fully built Supercharged BMW M3, Bucky was used big Brembo Brakes, Vorsteiner aero parts, Bilstein Coilovers, and some amazing 3pc wheels.  With no sound, stock ride height, and lacking that look, VR has pointed this 996TT in a new direction.  Now that the BMW M3 is sold and shipped off across the country, Bucky needed to being the process.  So we first flashed his car with Softronic ECU Tuning.  The Porsche 996TT isinherently laggy till the turbos kick in.  With the Softronic ECU Flash, his 996 Turbo came alive by giving him better throttle response, smoother power band, and a big increase in TQ and HP.  In addition to the ECU flash, Bucky also added some Agency Power diverter valves, an Agency Power exhaust system, and a K&N flat panel filter.  These mods combined add 100HP to the car!  Not only can he skate, he can drive, check out www.lasekracing.com.  So before his upcoming track day, we hooked him up with some Brembo 2pc replacement rotors for his 4piston calipers, Pagid RS19 brake pads, and some Agency Power brake lines.  In the meantime while he hammers out his wheel decision, the stock turbo twists were painted black and some H&R 7mm and 14mm spacers were added for a flush fit.  Finishing off the handling situation is a set of Bilstein PSS10 coilovers to be installed.  In the looks department, Bucky is about to add a MaShaw GT2 Front Bumper and Rear GT2 decklid/wing for a much improved look.  Stay tuned for updates on his project build and magazine coverage.  Thanks for the support Bucky.

Yesterday I tuned this car and just wanted to share it with everyone.

This customer came to us from the east coast and wanted to get some things fixed and we decided to re-tune the car since it didn’t run all that well.

Good ole Forced Performance Green Turbo.

Modifications:

I think that about does it. Tuned with VR Flash. Greens normally do around 340 or so. Car runs good.

Thought we would jam pack this holiday weekends Porsche news into 1 simple blog here.  We always have tons of customer updates and try to get the coolest ones out there!  One of our customers from Australia recently flashed his Porsche 997 Turbo with Softronic.  He left a great review of the product and some pics, check out the SoftronicTuning.com Blog here.

We also just added some new Agency Power 996 Turbo Exhaust Videos on our YouTube Site Here.  There is 1 idle video and 1 video inside the car as we cruise down the road.  You can view these on the  Agency Power Blog Here as well.

Finally, thought we would share some pics of this Porsche Cayenne S we have been working on.  The car features the Fabspeed Tips, Eibach lowering springs, 22″ wheels powdercoated to match the car, and a Kenwood DNX7140 installed by Sound Xpression.

Coming from our large customer base on the 6Speed online forums, Tom decided it was time to equip his Porsche 997TT with a Softronic ECU Flash.  Gaining much needed throttle response, torque, and horsepower, Tom flashed his car fairly quickly and was quite happy.

“Also tuned a 997TT with softronic. It is a definite WOW … I could not believe the difference the first time I floored it! It is an animal even in non-sport mode when you get into the boost — but doesn’t seem to have lost any driveability around town. I’m now considering if the brakes are up to the task, no kidding. The tuning process itself was pretty user friendly, as described. I received the tune file withing 24 hrs of uploading, and then got my original file back the following day. The fact that I have the control and could switch back to original at any time is an absolutely great feature. Kudos to Softronic and the team at Vivid, who provided excellent service throughout — thanks!”

Yet another amazed and suprised customer had his Porsche 997TT flashed and this time we got his impressions very candidly. After his permission, of course Enjoy the video!
