How much power does the VF ECU Software for 982 718 GTS add?

VF Engineering quotes 395 hp and 390 lb-ft from its ECU Software for 982 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS models with the 2.5 liter engine, gains of 35 hp and 73 lb-ft over the factory 360 hp and 317 lb-ft.

Does the software fit the GTS 4.0?

No. The later GTS 4.0 uses a naturally aspirated 4.0 liter flat six, and VF Engineering writes a separate calibration for it. This listing applies only to the 2018-2019 GTS with the 2.5 liter turbocharged flat four. Each is sold as its own listing.

How is the software installed?

VF Engineering installs the calibration at its Anaheim facility in Southern California or through an authorized VF dealer. Bulletproof Automotive coordinates the appointment with VF after the order is placed, and nothing is added to the car or changed in its appearance.

Does it work with the manual and PDK?

The calibration works on the engine and VF Engineering lists it for the 2.5 liter 718 GTS without restriction by gearbox. The six-speed manual or seven-speed PDK keeps its factory behavior while the engine delivers noticeably more torque. Clutch and gearbox hardware are unchanged.

Does the 718 S use the same calibration?

The 718 Boxster S and Cayman S also use a 2.5 liter turbocharged flat four, but VF Engineering names only the GTS in this listing. Owners of an S model should ask Bulletproof Automotive to confirm with VF which file applies.

Description

VF Engineering Performance ECU Software for 982 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS

VF Engineering’s Performance ECU Software for 982 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS is written for the first 718 GTS, built from 2018 to 2019 with a 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-four and a variable-geometry turbocharger. VF quotes 395 hp and 390 lb-ft with the calibration installed, gains of 35 hp and 73 lb-ft over the factory 360 hp and 317 lb-ft, from revised boost, ignition and fueling. The torque gain is the remarkable figure: it gives a mid-engine car of this weight a shove from low engine speeds that the naturally aspirated GTS 4.0 that followed cannot match. It suits an owner who wants to make the most of the turbocharged engine.

About VF Engineering

VF Engineering designs supercharger and turbocharger systems, titanium exhausts and ECU and TCU calibrations from a 15,000 sq ft facility in Anaheim, Orange County, California, where it has been based for nearly two decades. Every calibration is developed in house on the company’s own Mustang AWD 500 chassis dyno, ECU boards are handled in a dedicated clean room, and new parts start in an R&D room equipped with a rapid prototyper. VF reports that more than 93 percent of its supercharger systems are still running after years of hard use, many on their second or third owner, and its engineers carry the testing discipline of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series into every road calibration.

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.
