Are you sure about that?

I just shared an email with an employee of FVD.

Robert,

We have been tuning Porsche's since 1983 in Germany. We have alway's designed our own software in house and 99% of our software is only for Porsche. We consult with Bosch Motorsports and Siemen's Motorsports in Germany directly to make sure that our software is as safe and powerful as possible.

I think what Cartel was trying to say, is that FVD uses a similar OBD cable/interface as Softronic does, however, they are in no way related. All of FVD's programs are exclusive , proprietary software.

Absolutely correct, the interface is the same but the software is 100% FVD Brombacher.

Rhonda I am glad to see you made it over here! Welcome and again many a thanks for everything. Like I stated on the phone with you earlier today, I only wish my vehicle was not already flashed or I would have been all over this give away of an opportunity. Below I am including a sheet of my test runs yesterday which can be found in my thread I created yesterday, but here it is as a point of reference.



I only wish I had dynoed my vehicle directly after flashing and not in conjunction with my flash, lwfw, and udp. In August I dynoed my vehicle without the new modifications (lwfw - ecu flash - udp) and I amassed an average of 226 rwhp comparable to that of yesterday's 244-247 rwhp. I am very impressed with the results and look forward to dealing with Rhonda and the rest of the FVD staff.
