Here is a YouTube video of how to remove the ECU from the car.

It is in German… but you get the idea.



Disclaimer: Please see the post #77 below, @Mr.Smith points out the video may not be very accurate and the link on RedShift website may be better…

From experience, this is a very inaccurate.
I would use this one

Correct, our video covers a lot more details of the removal process.
Taycan https://www.redshift-performance.com/taycan-ecu-removal
e-tron GT https://www.redshift-performance.com/etron-gt-ecu-removal

One caveat is that the Cross-Turismo trunk panels look a bit different and are more difficult to remove. I will add instructions for CT models in the near future.

Have any of your customers had the tune for the Turbo S? Whats the feedback? Any numbers you could share?

Is the tune availabe to be programmed/selected in "Sport Plus"-mode only?
Hi @Maahero
We have upgrade 2x Taycan Turbo S models about two weeks ago. Both customer were very happy and thrilled with the results. Unfortunately they have not yet done any measurements of the car afterwards but the delta in acceleration is definitely noticeable when riding in the car.

Increased peak power is available in all modes unless specifically requested by the customer.

Would you guys consider a discount for a group buy?

Hi @MEA
Generally yes, if enough people come together for an order we can consider a group discount. Please contact us at [email protected] to discuss more details. Thanks!

Any prediction on when you will have the RWD numbers. I’m specifically interested in the larger battery HP, and 0-60 times if you’ve tested one…

Hi @Marcad80
As soon as someone with a RWD Taycan gets our performance upgrade done on their vehicle. I currently don't have access to a base RWD Taycan to perform these measurements. My apologies.

Thank you Taycan Forum members for the tremendous amount of feedback in this thread and to everyone who reached out directly to discuss the upgrade and next steps! We are excited for what the future holds and we take the feedback in this forum seriously in developing our services for our customers.
Based on some of the suggestions in this thread we are actively developing a second/backup ECU solution to provide the additional piece of mind that some people are asking for. Stay tuned!

Interested in both these comments, 1.) the second/backup ECU solution and 2.) a group buy....

There is no '4' trim level - only a '4S'.

Not sure of the context on your post, but my Cross Turismo most definitely is a “4”.

Do not try and bend the 4S sedan into a 4 wagon, that’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no 4 wagon. It’s really a 4S wagon, waiting to be unleashed.

Still waiting for group-buy enthusiasts.

I stand corrected. You’re absolutely right that it’s a 4S in sheep’s clothing.
