Porsche ECU Tuning has been the main specialty of VR Tuned and Vivid Racing for many years. Being able to provide a performance ECU tune and upgrade is something we are strongly passionate about. Our ECU Tuning for Porsche has been used on customer vehicles worldwide including our very own Project Cars. We offer a wide variety of ECU Upgrades for Porsche vehicles. This includes both normally aspirated and turbo models. Popular tuning platforms are the Porsche 911 Carrera and Turbo. We also do tuning for the Cayman and Boxster vehicles. All variants of the Panamera and Cayenne as well as the Macan. Tuning is available as a OBDII flash or a plug and play tuning box for some vehicles. No hassle installation and software use provides you with a warranty safe tuning solution.
VR Tuned was among the first to offer OBDII flash tuning for Porsche models through its proprietary iFlash system, allowing Porsche owners to upgrade their ECU without removing or opening the factory computer. Over the years, VR Tuned has developed hundreds of Porsche-specific calibration files, all tested in-house on both street and dyno. Whether it’s maximizing boost on a 991 Turbo S, refining throttle response in a 718 Cayman, or preparing a 992 Carrera for larger turbos, VR Tuned’s Porsche tuning catalog is among the most extensive and refined in the industry.
Proven Porsche Tuning Examples
Porsche 991.2 Carrera / Carrera S (3.0L Twin-Turbo Flat-6)
The second-generation 991 Carrera introduced turbocharging across the range. From the factory, the engine leaves considerable room for improvement. VR Tuned’s ECU calibration increases horsepower by up to 60hp and adds significant torque throughout the powerband. Power delivery becomes smoother, more urgent, and far more responsive under part-throttle conditions. Support is available for both stock and modified cars, including those running upgraded intakes, intercoolers, and exhaust systems.
Porsche 992 Carrera / Carrera S (3.0L Twin-Turbo Flat-6)
With tighter ECU encryption, tuning the 992 Carrera required deep R&D — and VR Tuned delivered. The calibration enhances turbo boost control, throttle modulation, and timing to produce gains of 80+ horsepower on 93 octane fuel. On Carrera S models with PDK, the tune also refines shift timing and makes the car feel sharper in all drive modes. It’s the software equivalent of a new engine, without sacrificing the luxury and balance Porsche engineered.
Porsche 718 Boxster / Cayman (2.0L / 2.5L Turbo Flat-4)
Though controversial for their shift away from naturally aspirated flat-sixes, the 718 Boxster and Cayman have immense tuning potential. VR Tuned’s ECU upgrade for the 2.5L S model delivers up to 50hp and dramatically improves throttle feel, turbo spool, and in-gear acceleration. The 2.0L Base model also sees excellent gains, making it feel more like a higher-tier model without the need for costly mechanical upgrades.
Porsche 991 Turbo / Turbo S (3.8L Twin-Turbo Flat-6)
One of the most iconic platforms for tuning, the 991 Turbo responds aggressively to ECU optimization. VR Tuned’s performance software increases boost, refines fuel delivery, and adjusts torque targets to deliver gains of 100+ horsepower over stock. Tuned Turbo S models can comfortably exceed 650 horsepower with supporting mods — turning Porsche’s luxury missile into a truly elite performance machine.
Porsche Macan S / GTS / Turbo (3.0L & 3.6L Turbo V6)
Porsche’s best-selling SUV also benefits tremendously from tuning. VR Tuned’s ECU flash for the Macan platforms enhances throttle input and midrange torque — especially useful for passing and highway merging. Depending on the model, horsepower increases can range from 40 to 70hp, with improved pedal response and smoother power delivery, all while retaining factory comfort and drivability.
Porsche Cayenne Turbo / S E-Hybrid
Even the largest Porsche vehicles benefit from performance tuning. The Cayenne’s turbocharged V6 and V8 engines respond well to boost and fuel mapping, improving off-the-line response and midrange pull. VR Tuned also offers tuning support for Cayenne E-Hybrid models, carefully balancing the electric and combustion systems to create a more responsive and efficient hybrid experience.
