I’ve often thought about it for my GTS, but not sure how the Porsche warranty police would take it!

Yes, kind of!

I had the TDI Tuning, tuning box installed last week.

Best of both worlds; tuning, but plug and play with no physical remap or anything affecting the actual ECU.

Preliminary results on performance are great, but doesn’t give me a button in the cabin, dash text or launch control ;)

Interesting, where is it installed and can you remove for services ?

Here you go:
https://tdi-tuning.com/

Search for the tuning box for the GTS by putting in your particular car and model etc

Mine is an SD and I paid £419 for the Bluetooth with iPhone app version (with a 10% discount code making it £380 ish)

Not sure why, but the GTS version is more expensive at £499!

If it performs like the SD version, it’s absolutely worth the money though.

Unless others say different I’d imagine any change to the original Porsche setup will affect warranty if not fitted and approved by them.

And you probably have to notify your insurer too.

Yes of course it will invalidate a warranty claim linked to the engine if they know it’s there, and yes you should notify your insurer

As for this supplier they might be OK, but I wouldn’t touch anyone who is a jack of all trades like they seem to be (cover 100s of car and truck types presumably by adding boost, fuelling and advance the timing by 10%

If I was consider something like this it would have to be a Porsche tuning specialist
