Redshift Performance Intro - Taycan ECU Performance Packages

[Porsche-Guru]

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?

@redshift-performance
I too would like to know whether this tune/ECU mod is the same as offered in Europe by HGP Turbo in Ohmden, Germany.
Thanks...

Hi @unbiased
We are not affiliated with HGP and are a completely separate company but we do work with the same developer team of the tune in Germany.

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.

no dyno but i have some draggy recordings of before upgrade and will have some done of the after. I just have to find the time at night to match the conditions and location of the two runs.

Are the 0-60, or 0-100 mph times going to be drastically different if the main purpose of this tune is to unlock the over boost that is available under launch control? Meaning, if you use launch control with a stock tune, and achieve a 0-60 mph time of say 3.1 seconds, is that 0-60 time going to improve significantly with this tune?

I have a Taycan ST GTS, so if @redshift-performance can supply specific performance increases for the GTS, that would be super helpful.

The 0-60 mph LC time is a useful background, but it isn’t what people aren’t looking to compare. It’s the NON-LC 0-60 mph time before and after. Another way to look at it is 5-60, since you can’t use LC for that. The point is to unlock the full boost so that is available fulltime without any special LC dance and having to start from a standstill.

Hi @Polar993
As mentioned previously our tune increases the peak power in overboost over stock AND make that available at all times and not just during launch control. For your Taycan GTS the available peak power will increase from 509hp (590hp in launch control) to over 800+hp all the time.

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!

Very exciting!

so don't you have any rolling test of each model?
I mean doing rolls before and after to do a comparison?
30 roll to 100
60 roll to 100
90 roll to 120
120 roll to 160
etc
I would like to see what it does to the taycan turbo.
the turbo vs turbo s, I thought there were hardware differences? how come the tune gives the same result?

Hi @Crystal_Sweden
As much as I wish it would be the case we don't have a version of every Taycan & e-tron GT model sitting in a garage. We have to rely on customer vehicles to provide us with these measurements and they will be trickling in slowly as we roll out this tune in the US and worldwide. Stay tuned!

Is that not something you simply give out for free to each owner with a specific model and then simply have a day at the strip with everyone and you measure? Who is the company in Germany you work with regarding the software upgrades?

Know anything about the .2 models?
Thought I had read something about RWD, 4S and Turbo having the same rear motor and inverter.

@redshift-performance , I realize they may not want to speculate, but do the developers have any estimate based on the J1.I how long after .II models are available to them that they might be able to estimate what, if anything, is possible on the refresh Taycan?

Hi @Bluesk @d00d
As soon as we can get our hands on the .2 facelift control modules our team will get going on the development. We can't give estimates on timing and performance increase yet but we will keep the community posted along the way!

Thanks, a .2 4S with the somewhat likeable front end, would be preferable to a Turbo, if they both tune to the same result.
