Somewhat glossed over in the news that the 991.2 SDI21 ECU was cracked is that this led to ECU tuning also opening up for the 9A2B4 2.0 and 2.5 motors in the Porsche 718 models.
What kind of power are we looking at for a Stage I tune for a 718 Boxster or Cayman S? Roughly 430 horsepower at the crank:
An increase of 80 horsepower but that torque curve is questionable. Why it is spooling later tuned is anyone's guess but there is a ton more area under the curve from 3000 rpm until redline.
How does this stack up to say a tuned 991.2 Carrera GTS? The tuned 718 S makes roughly 100 less horsepower. Another way to look at it is making almost stock 991.2 GTS horsepower. That should result in slightly over 400 rwhp on a Dynojet.
That makes for quite a Porsche performance bargain and the 718 GTS model with its larger turbo will make even more power when tuned.
It is a good time to be a Porsche enthusiast at any area of the model spectrum.
