VR Tuned ECU Flash Tune Porsche 996 Turbo X50 | Turbo S K24 01-05

The 996 Turbo is one of the most popular enthusiast and tuner vehicles of its time. With the ability to reach double its stock horsepower and over 200mph on the stock engine, speed junkies are all over the 996 Turbo. The K24 turbos found in the x50 package or Turbo S have huge potential even though they are making 50 horsepower more than the K16 turbos. The K24 turbos build about .8 - .9 bar of boost. Once flashed, these Porsche cars hold about 1.1bar of boost. Because the K24 turbo is larger, it is moving more air already so the gain is not as large, but still an impressive increase compared to stock. With an aftermarket exhaust system, you may see boost spikes to 1.3bar which is completely safe. The 996 Turbo engines in good health can run 1.5-1.6bar on 100octane. With the increased boost and horsepower, we highly recommend changing your spark plugs to a 1 step colder plugs such as the Denso IK22 or the NGK BKR7EIx. Stock plugs with over 5000 miles will typically cause the car to misfire at peak torque around 4000rpm.
