Redshift Performance Intro - Taycan ECU Performance Packages

[whitex]

You’re absolutely right that [Taycan 4 is] a 4S in sheep’s clothing.

Hmmm... So a Taycan 4S CT is a naked Taycan (no clothing)?

Gross. I’m buying a car cover.

No, it’s more like a Superman thing - a shepherd’s wool coat over colorful tights.

Someone pulled the wrong lever.

Any update whether you can provide a 2nd ECU with the upgrade rather than having to ship the original in case the car needs to go for service urgently?

I am not speaking on behalf of RedShift, but I strongly suspect that if a replacement ECU is possible, it would still require the original to clone it, meaning you will ship the original and get back the original and a tuned one. Unless of course there is a tool out there somewhere which can program them outside of the car with just a VIN as input.

That should be fine. I think the reason why a lot of people are hesitant to consider it is not having the original ECU at all times in case of any urgent repairs. If it has to be shipped once at the beginning that’s not an issue.

This was answered in post #33 of this thread. Currently you have to buy a new ECU and get it programmed and/or coded at the dealer before it will work.

Why would the dealer do that? What would you tell them to not raise any suspicion?

Hi @unbiased
We are almost done with the development of the secondary/clone ECU option. This will allow you to have a secondary ECU with our tune applied while keeping the original ECU untouched. Your original ECU will still have to be sent to us for reading out of the necessary parameters, but as mentioned it will not be programmed and remains stock. Stay tuned for an official update on this in the near future!

See my last reply above. We still need to have the original ECU once for reading of the vehicle specific parameters. Both ECUs (untouched original & cloned upgraded ECU) will be sent back to the customer.

Hi @bluesky
Based on the feedback from this forum we are in the process of developing an alternative process which does not rely on getting the secondary ECU programmed at the dealership. Stay tuned for an official update on this in the near future!

 

[unbiased]

just curious, is it the same tune as HGB in Germany and there is some kind of licensing agreement? Or entirely different and proprietary to you guys?

Do you have any dyno for the turbo S before and after?. I think that will really help influence people. Would be nice to see under the curve what the power difference is rather than just quoting peak #'s.
