The local Porsche dealer in Dubai is claiming that a chip from cartonic (
Porsche Tuning by Cartronic Motorsport
) will give a 25hp increase without any other modifications! Now I'm not totally convinced and have asked them to proove it.
The cost for the tuning is 2000dollars... I guess if you're spending 2000 bucks, you'd want to see 25hp at least...
Does anyone else know anything about cartronic's chip?

They told me the same thing! They don't have a dyno here, but I think the audi service center does. Do let me know what you find out please.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics. I would get an iron-clad money back guarantee if the chip (why would they use a chip anyway? it should be programming not a chip) that if you don't get 25hp (which you absolutely won't) that you get your money back, of course proven on an independent dyno.
BTW, I have some Cayman decals I will be selling that are "guaranteed" to give you at least 10 extra HP! Why? Because I said so! Now pay me $1000!
Yes. I know that it's likely to provide an opportunity to prove true the old adage "A fool and his money are soon parted."
Sounds overpriced and unproven. Can they can show you valid before and after dyno plots, hook you up with other users who can tell you about reliability, etc., etc.?
Yikes, 25 sound reeeeaaaaaalllllly optimistic. Maybe they meant 2.5?
With all the burned out cat problems we've seen, I am wary of chips which often spray more fuel, which may be igniting in the cats and causing the problems over time. Spraying more fuel reduces intake temperatures and I think if you use more aggressive timing you should be able to burn it to make more power. But yeah, leftover fuel going into the exhaust is not cool.
I can attest to the efficacy of Ken's decals - I have two and there is a DEFINITE difference. Mostly midrange but some additional peak power!
They could be speaking of miniature horses, when making reference to horsepower. Or perhaps a horse of a different color.
I want to put two decals on the front so I have some reverse thrust for braking.'
P.S. should the title be "Porsche Tuner claims . . " rather than "Porsche claims"?
Yeh, but flames out of the rear exhaust outlets do look really cool!!
uneducated dealer..
They offered me the same thing and after research at this website found out it is complete bulls**t.. I wanted to see any facts that support that but they had none.. The dealer in Dubai sells the most Porsches in the world.. It is rated as the highest single dealer seller of Porsche.. Not surprising when you consider the amount of money over here..
