Sorry to be so dense but the post intrigued me so I went to the flat six website. I couldn't seem to find the "tune" that was mentioned unless I am misinterpreting. It looks like these are all complete engine rebuilds and pretty detailed at that even on the "Stocker". I assume that your air/fuel ratios and octane "tune" was part of one of the rebuild packages, correct? Thanks

Hi Jgk,

Custom dyno tuning is not included in most FSI builds but it is available as an option for a build. FSI does not offer tuning for any engine that they did not build. The only exception I know of is a forum member that had his IMS Solution installed at FSI. In any case, there are no canned tunes, each car is individually tuned using its own DME download as a base, with specific requests by the customer addressed for their tunes (hp and torque profiles, fuel, other ancillary options) and in consideration of each individual’s other mods (usually intake and/or exhaust).

Thank you Fred! I didn't realize that 10/10ths also had his engine rebuilt by Jake as well but that makes perfect sense. Sure am having fun living vicariously through you guys! Take care...

You’re welcome! I don’t know if 10/10s had a complete rebuild but if I’m not mistaken FSI did have hands on his car for the IMS install and tune.

No....

.....I did NOT have my engine rebuilt.

When I bought the car in 2015, FSI performed maintenance work in addition to complete engine builds.

They have since stopped performing regular maintenance work and only build engines for customers these days.

Since I am a previous customer, Jake is using me as a “control sample” for lack of a better term, to see how these engines wear out over time.

He was kind enough to allow me to ship my car to his shop for her five year major maintenance.

He and Lake Speed developed a new oil called GP-1 and I had been running his previously developed oil called DT40.

Jake wanted to use me as a test subject for the GP-1 and since I needed new water pump, AOS, et al, I agreed. So he dropped the sump and completely drained out all of the old oil and R&R’d all my old parts. I also needed a new fuel pump and O2 sensors and other bits. Long list of parts.

Anyway, this Boxster is used for our vacations all over North America. I need her to be absolutely reliable. So Jake replaced the crank angle sensor and all the known failure parts for me as preventative maintenance to ensure another five years of trouble free motoring.

I decided that since the car was already at his shop, and since she was getting all these new parts, I might as well have him dyno tune her while she was there. Why not? It’s only money. I can’t afford one of his badass engines like Old Car Guy, but I had enough coin for the tune and tuneup.

So that’s what happened and the car is awesome.

Not as awesome as Old Car Guy’s I’m sure, but good enough for now.

Cheers.
