boxster re map

[boxster]

i have a boxster 986,and i wold like to re map it. but there's nobody who will do it where i live. i found a few companys on the net that will do it, but theyre all far away, and they told me that i can send them the ecu by post, and then they can send it back to me. there are two things that im concerned about. 1. since the remap wont be done with the car there, will the ecu give me any problems when installing it, like an engine check light?

and 2. what if it gets lost, ill be doomed!

anyone has any experience with ecu re mapping on the 986, is it worth the risk?

also i saw that there are diy kits with which you can re map the ecu at home, but they only do them for the 987.

someone come across one for the 986?

thanks!

Nowadays, ECU re-mapping involves uploading a software file via the vehicle's OBD port. It's no longer necessary to solder or send out the DME for programming . Here are some companies who are known for their quality programs :

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 .
