Engine and gearbox mounts will also have to be at least inspected for condition or preferably upgraded due to the increased torque.
Leading evidence: 'Inspect condition or preferably upgraded due' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Despite being unable to get any decent numbers on a piece of paper on those cars with some slight tweaking, the poster changed their tune after some tweaking (tune and valved replacement exhaust).

I and others have used bosch 710n's on other twin turbo marks and pushed 24plus psi and rock solid in terms of no leaks and were about 25% the cost of more fancied aftermarket valves like forge, apr 034 , genuine audi diverter values (bosch 710n with audi stamped part number)

Upload the tune - then take some more data and email back to him for checking of multiple parameters (knock sensing etc)

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.

Thinking about a tune in the near future.
Im not after a drag car with over the top bhp but I figure about 500 odd ponies would be fun. Drivability and reliability are paramount.
The car is a tip and already has a Kline aftermarket exhaust but I’m wanting a bit more. So interested in peoples thoughts about what I could expect.
Also I have no idea about who and where I can can get it done. So if anyone has some positive experience getting theirs done I would appreciate any recommendations.
Perhaps have a chat with my colleague Chris Ryan. His 996 Turbo Tip was 3rd among 90 odd Porsches in the Targa. It goes really well. He had the motor and suspension work done in Melbourne, I believe.
Ok I’m not sure how the cars are tuned so please be patient with me
🤗
Do these guys tune on a dyno or just plug in a USB/chip? Surely each car is a custom tune to take into account any existing mods?
UMW do a "live" tune.....
He sends you a module, you download data, email to him and then he emails a new tune back.
Upload the tune - then take some more data and email back to him for checking of multiple parameters (knock sensing etc)
Way better than a "in the can tune" as it all allows for our crappy fuel......
Fuel quality and availability in Aust is better than US, there's a lot of 91 grade fuel (95RON) in the US and not a lot of 93 (98). US has less high quality fuel available
UMW for the tune, Kevin's business is wholly supporting 911 turbos and has been for years.
Mine has a UMW Tune and Kline exhaust, which has been fitted to the car for over 60,000km which is a pretty good testament to Kevin’s skill.
More power and definitely low down torque punch is what you will get, he can also tune your Tiptronic for more responsive shifts from what I understand.
The process is simple enough, he sells you a lead that plugs into your OBD port. You data log the car via a program he sends you on a disc.
Once you’ve data logged it you email it to Kevin and he will edit a tune for you, then he will email that back to you and you flash it back into your ECU via a the same program on your laptop.
It should be noted that a tune isn’t a straight forward as that, you will need to ensure your car doesn’t have any boost or vacuum leaks beforehand (it will, they all do, because very few here actually know how to pressure test a 996 turbo correctly) and your waste gates and diverter valves are functioning correctly. I’d personally update your diverter valves to 710N valves or aftermarket Billet DV’s.
No point doing a tune if your car isn’t 100% first and remains at that level of maintenance moving forward. A tune is great but remember your also pushing the car/engine closer to the edge and more maintenance and servicing is required.
Make sure your cooling systems both intercoolers and radiators are working correctly with no leaks and are clean, your going to make more heat.
Your suspension may need an upgrade due to rear end squat under 1+ bar boost has a tendency to kill the inner edge of the rear tyres. Engine and gearbox mounts will also have to be at least inspected for condition or preferably upgraded due to the increased torque.
A tune isn’t just one mod, it’s many mods (some may consider too many mods) to make that tune/car work without breaking parts, sacrificing handling or basically scaring the shit out of you.
@Joz
I'm scared now too.... WOW.
For a mild tune done properly (std turbos & coolers) as long as the car is mechanically sound - you'll be right.
These are stout engines with a huge knowledge base from many many, years of motorsport.
What ANY mod (incl a tune) will do is expose ANY weaknesses thats all, from clutch to coils to boost leaks. Some of these are preventative items - and should've been replaced, but you' should know - because your car wouldn't be running right......
It will not make any difference to tyre wear - and / or suspension geometry.... but the extra speed/power will again, highlight any issues if they are there.
Do not be afraid - its warm over here !!!!
@Fraz, any leads on a new set of 710N BOSCH diverter valves (not the flakey Kaiser ones - have a couple of sets of those). I have been looking for a set of the bosch ones (after stupidly donoring a couple of sets to others a few years back and didn't bother following up replacements at the time (goto valves when tweaking a twin turbo audi b5s4 in terms of bang for buck / boost leak reliability. )
I came across a post recently on a audi r8 v8 gen 1 forum recently, that used the words
underwhelming and disappointing
. Despite being unable to get any decent numbers on a piece of paper on those cars with some slight tweaking, the poster changed their tune after some tweaking (tune and valved replacement exhaust). Those words, perfectly some up my view on a non tweaked boosted 996 mezger. However, compared to a v8 r8, the difference is you can get decent incremental number increases to support the difference if your a skeptic of heresay butt dyno results from others.
I have bought from these guys before:
https://store.034motorsport.com/bypass-valve-oem-710n.html
However there are better and similar or slightly more/less price wise the fit and do a better job..
Audi switched supplier from Bosch to Kayser and stamped their part numbers on the kaysers around 2015to 2017. I have 2 sets of kayser's , but they been advised / known to weep when pushing 20 plus psi. I and others have used bosch 710n's on other twin turbo marks and pushed 24plus psi and rock solid in terms of no leaks and were about 25% the cost of more fancied aftermarket valves like forge, apr 034 , genuine audi diverter values (bosch 710n with audi stamped part number)
@Boosh
I thought I'd continue the tune topic here.
Cheeky buggars with the Cobb partners.
🤐
not supplying a stage 2 tune with the unit.
Why no 95/98 for a tune?
Thanks I’ve learnt about it today talking to a tuning workshop.
98 it is, as it was before.
Oh it’s booked in for a dyno run for a health check and all going well will be tuned.
Nothing to extreme as all that’s modded is the addition of a Kline exhaust.
