Here is a source for reference:

Does softronic do a ecu tune for the 986 2.7l ? I was under the impression that they only don't have that but only the 987 2.7l. And only the 3.2l for the 986.

Softronic was my first choice... but since I have a 986 2.7l, in the end I went with the superchips (uk) option. The engine is noticeable smoother, a little better grunt but did not notice any improvement in the consumption. An additional 10+hp and 10-15nm of torque was all they quoted, which is probably believeable (no dyno done).

I wasn't expecting much on a NA engine so am not disappointed... the smoother engine is already a bonus. Was hoping for better consumption though..

Hopefully with the future mods of the ipd plenum, exhaust, everything will add up nicely..
