Price effective?

Go with the best known, most expensive tuner. Ruf and Farnbacher-Loles come to mind.

Or get in bed with a trusted LOCAL guy who will embark upon a journey of discovery with you. In the end you may not save as much money as you expect, and your time has to be worth very little. Some enjoy the journey. Others just want to drive their dang car.

I say this as a veteran of the BMW tuner scene. The only real complaints about Dinan? The price.

Just one guy's opinion.

Ditto with the very real possibility that you will spend more money for a lesser result.

This has been covered very well in this site and a little research you can get many facts on the installations. I wouldn't say that you have to spend the most to get the best installation.

Hi

Buy a replacement engine from your Porsche dealer and get the software and other parts from PCA-TECH, then ask your Porsche dealer to do the installation.

This is an easy journey if done with PCA-TECH.

Search my threads about the details.

Cheers

Herman
