boxster re map

[j.fro]

The remap alone won't get you a whole lot more power. Also, the company doing the remap will want to know what other modifications you have done so they can program accordingly. If you're going down this road, get all of the other mods done first: intake, throttle body, headers, cats, and muffler. You don't want to have to remap twice...it's the most expensive single piece!

unfortunately nobody seems to be able to send dme programming for the 986. they all do the 987 but not the 986. the upgrades i have so far are the intake, mufflers, cats, exhaust and the techno torque from pedro's garage.

All of the companies that I listed offer ECU upgrades for the 986 boxster .

Check out this link from Softronic, They copy your original file so you can put it back if there is a problem.

So in the case of a MY97 986, which I've read is the only year with a DME that does not allow the nice and easy plug-n-play ability of all subsequent model years' DMEs, would I still have to remove the DME from the vehicle in order to have it programmed?

No. Companies like FVD/Brombacher, Softronic, or Evolution Motorsports will create a specific software file based on the information optioned from "reading out" your vehicle's DME . This step is accomplished by using a special cable/interconnect that they supply you with . Subsequently, the file is sent back to them, wherein they use this information to create a new ecu program . Once you receive the new program (usually overnighted back), it's then necessary to download it onto a laptop . The next step is to upload the program through the vehicle's OBD port using the same cable . It's a very simple and straight forward process.

Johnny Danger,
I contacted all those companies, and they all gave me the same reply, that i have to take the car to them for them to be able to re map my ecu, they cant just send me maps to upload on my laptop to do myself. they told me that they only do that service with the 2.7 engines upwards.
i also tries companies like unichip for a piggyback device, but again, i only found for the 2.7.
if you know of any company that has something for the early 2.5 i would appreciate it,
thanks
