Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone tried SofttronicSoftware? They promise to add 15 hp, which I believe would be more noticeable on a base 986. Porsche 986 Boxster Performance Software Tuning Flash Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Well I have the Softronics tune about a year. It has been stable and I have had no problems or code issues, but my car is heavily modified. That was the primary reason I got their tune. They were able to adjust the tune base on my modifications.

POST 3Original post

I had it on a not-heavily modified 986S and would say that this was the single biggest waste of money I ever did on my Box

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the comments. I wonder if it's more noticeable on the base model versus the S.

15hp (7% on a base 986) is not likely to be immediately/easily noticeable in day to day driving but will help during full-throttle acceleration.

POST 6Original post

and dramatically saves you dosh on petrol consumption long term-wise. Lots of the emission control can be wiped out which I assume this is what they do also at Softtronic

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
