Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

It seems like every tuner out there has re-mapping the ECU as the most basic HP increase mod, to the tune of 20 hp or so. If this is so easy to do that any tuner can, why does Porsche (or any other car company for that matter) not just map the ECU like that in the first place? Is there some other down side like it won't pass smog or it kills the gas milage? Of course I would certainly expect a decrease in milage with more power. I've often wondered this but never asked anyone who knew...... Craig

craigbryant[/quote] - you have to understand that Porsche releases it car to the general public while Performance houses like RUFF and 9ff are targeting enthusiasts.<o ></o >[/quote] Enthusiast will always prefer a more aggressive throttle, higher compression, and increased in HP from timing of ignition at peak detonation for higher octane fuel. Enthusiast will almost always use 93 vs.lower octane fuel like the general public.<o ></o >[/quote] The side effect is additional stress on the engine and brakes...so there are tradeoffs. No such thing as a free lunch.<o ></o >[/quote]

ECU remaps aren't worth 20hp either, maybe 5-10 and usually work best in combo with a better intake and exhaust to achieve maximum gains.

Stock engine can only go so far but with the Cayman's great design we only need a few horses.
