Which cars does the Fabspeed XperTune Performance Software fit?

The Fabspeed XperTune Performance Software fits all 2005-2008 Porsche 987.1 Boxster and Cayman models with the 2.7L, 3.2L, or 3.4L flat-six, including the Boxster S and Cayman S. Fabspeed writes the calibration for your specific engine and any modifications, so the tune matches your exact car.

How much power does the tune add?

Expect roughly 15 HP and 11 ft-lb across the range. The 2.7L goes from 240 to 255 HP, the 3.2L S from 280 to 295 HP, and the 3.4L S from 303 to 318 HP, with matching torque gains. Because the tune is custom-written, cars with exhaust or header upgrades can see more.

How do I install the tune, and do I need to remove my ECU?

No, there is no ECU removal or bench flashing. You read your stock file through the OBD-II port with the included handheld, email it to Fabspeed, and they send back a custom tune within one to two business days that you flash with the same handheld. You do need a Windows PC to transfer the files.

Can I return my car to stock?

Yes. Your factory file is saved during the process, so you can flash back to stock at any time with the handheld and re-apply the Fabspeed tune whenever you like. This makes it easy to return to a factory calibration for service or resale.

Will the tune affect reliability or drivability?

No. The XperTune calibration is developed on Fabspeed's dyno to add power while keeping drivability and engine safety intact, rather than chasing peak numbers at the expense of reliability. It is written for your specific setup, which is why Fabspeed asks about your modifications before writing it.

Should I tune before or after adding an exhaust or headers?

Either works, but the tune delivers the most when it is written around your other modifications. If you plan to add a Fabspeed exhaust or RENNKRAFT headers, tuning afterward lets Fabspeed calibrate around the new airflow. On a stock car, the tune still adds a noticeable, reliable gain on its own.

Description

Fabspeed XperTune Performance Software for 987.1 Porsche Boxster and Cayman

Fabspeed XperTune Performance Software for the 987.1 Porsche Boxster and Cayman rewrites the factory ECU calibration to free the power Porsche left on the table, without the drivability or reliability trade-offs that come with a generic off-the-shelf flash. It reaches the ECU through the OBD-II port with an included handheld tuner, so there is no removing the computer and mailing it in for a bench flash. Fabspeed’s tuning team writes each tune by hand for your specific car and modifications, drawing on 30 years of Porsche dyno development, then emails it back to load with the handheld. The result is a stronger flat-six across the whole rev range, sharper throttle response, and a tune you can flash back to stock at any time.

How It Works

The Fabspeed XperTune Performance Software is tuned remotely and custom-written for your car. You read your car’s stock file through the OBD-II port with the included handheld, then send that data and your vehicle details to Fabspeed. The tuning team writes a custom calibration for your exact setup and emails it back within one to two business days, and you flash it to the car with the same handheld. Because your original file is saved, returning to stock is as simple as flashing back, and you can switch to the Fabspeed tune again whenever you like.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
