Who can push a 986 special edition tune?
 

I am doing the 987 airbox/74mm TB mod in my 2004 Boxster S and would like to use the 987 maf. For this, I beleive that the best way would be to use the special edition tune. The problem is: where on earth cane I get this file and can it be loaded into my existing ECU? :confused:

That will require access to a legitimate PIWIS system.

you will also need the codes for your car - specifically, the DME programming code. not easy to get. porsche is supposed to give them out but never does. you gotta know a 'guy' to get them. perhaps pm 986bsdriver to see what he is going through to get his. i *might* be out east in may, and could bring my pst2, but really up in the air at this point (currently losing on both sides of the money/time equation). otherwise, i have the old ducting left over from when i was running a base tune with 987 airbox and TB that i could send you.

@TRK Were you using the 986 MAF with your setup?

before i went to a 996 tune in order to use the larger MAF holder, i had the 987 airbox and an adaptor to reduce down to the 986 MAF holder that i swapped off my old airbox. i have this adaptor though to the silicone elbow onto the throttlebody if interested.

Certainly interested! I'll send you a pm. :cheers:

I told my local dealer service manager my engine failed so I was installing a different engine & converting to a racecar. He called PCNA & gave me the codes.

How did you upload the codes?

It's certainly not easy to get the codes and every place has its reasons why they don't want to hand them out. I gotta be present with proof of ownership which isn't a huge issue, except I was on vacation with a different car. I did pay the dealership for the radio code though, they would not hand out anything else Other then that.

the codes come as numbers on a piece of paper, associated with the VIN and specific to each car (ecu, gauge cluster, immobilizer). you type them into the pst2/piwis when pushing the new tune.

My PST-2 I bought from Todd Hollyoak.

I sent you a pm but haven’t heard back. :)p

ditto. that todd gets around.

I can push....
 

....my 550 SE down my driveway.


Does that count?

:p:p:p

Only if you can push it back up! :dance:
