Porsche Boxster 987
S (3.4)295PS·340Nm·Petrol
We don’t tune the Boxster S (3.4) yet.
One email the day it lands. Nothing else.
It’s deep engineering — and the hard part is unpredictable, so we can’t promise a date.
The ECU is locked down by security and signature checks — we have to get past them before it will accept a map that isn’t the manufacturer’s. It’s the least predictable part of the job.
Developing and dyno-proving the tune for your engine — never a generic file.
Safe by design, reversible by default
Tuning isn’t risky when it’s done right — the same calibration a good workshop would load, with the same safety margins.
- Your factory file, always on handWe keep a database of original OEM files, so your factory file is always there to restore — even if your ECU’s memory can’t be read.
- An interrupted flash is recoverableIf a write is interrupted, the ECU simply stays in programming mode, ready to resume. Once the flash completes, your vehicle starts normally — no permanent damage.
- One-tap return to stockRestore your factory file anytime — for a service, an MOT, or selling the vehicle.
- Within safe limitsYour tune is built by experienced engineers to stay inside your engine, turbo and clutch tolerances — never past what your hardware can take long-term.
Every map is calibrated by ActiveMotion, a professional tuning house that has tuned tens of thousands of vehicles. Available right in the app.
- 10+ yearsin engine software & calibration
- Every enginedeveloped on the dyno

“A very nice experience and a flawless service. I recommend.”
“Very good after-sales support, effective product — thanks to Charles for his help and professionalism.”
“I was looking for a simple way to boost my Porsche 718, 300 hp. I first looked at piggyback boxes, but quickly gave up: engine access is far from easy (about an hour of removal and refitting), I want to be able to return the car to stock quickly if needed, and that solution is frequently criticized. The second option was taking the car to a specialist for a Stage 1 — but having to book again to restore stock before each dealership visit felt heavy and costly. I finally stumbled on this solution, which lets me do the whole thing autonomously and quickly. This innovative approach intrigued me and, of course, raised questions… what if it didn't work? I talked at length with Chuck and Théo, peppering them with technical questions as a former IT guy. I was welcomed with real kindness and their many answers were extremely consistent — at no point could I catch them out. I ordered and set up my Boxster 718: the stated gain is 70 hp and +80 Nm. The update worked wonderfully — the Boxster ran well before, but now it's something else entirely, a true pleasure… I especially appreciated the after-sales contact with Théo, who again patiently answered my convoluted questions. Frankly, top service and a system that works…”
“The dongle and the remap work very well. Communication between people could be improved a little. Overall a positive experience.”
“Very simple to set up, effective result.”
“Ordered a remap for my RS7 — Stage 1 and ethanol — impeccable. I'm delighted! Everything works well and above all it's disconcertingly easy to set up: 2 minutes and it's done. I strongly recommend their service, at prices that defy the competition… Thanks to the whole team. Laurent”
“The concept is a revolution. Reprogramming your car at will, from your smartphone, is a first. As a remap enthusiast I let myself be tempted without quite knowing where I was going, I'll admit. I ordered a map for my car and a few days later received the adapter, with which I flashed it. I plugged it in and after barely 15 minutes my car was remapped as if I'd been to a specialist. Customer service is ultra responsive — Chuck and Théo are there to answer when needed. The big plus? You can return the car to stock whenever you want, and remap it again at will. I don't have a sports car, just a simple Touran that needed a second youth. I've already done 1,000 km on the remap and everything is perfect. Thanks to the team.”
“I'll give an objective review: I remapped my Clio TCe 90, a sluggish little engine to begin with. The remap worked well — I can definitely tell the difference from stock even if it's no rocket. To be precise, I went from 0–100 in 14.4 seconds to 13.5. Not exceptional, but where the car really gained is mid-range pull, especially in 4th and 5th — it picks up much better; it just lacks a bit of low-end torque. We'll see with ethanol since I took the FlexFuel option and I'm currently running SP98. My experience is quite positive and the technical team listens — a bit hard to reach on chat at times, but responsive by email. In the end I'm satisfied because I can go back to stock whenever I want. Thanks — it's great to be able to do the remap yourself.”
“A really great concept! Thanks to Charles for his responsiveness. I received the dongle in 3 days and the Stage 1 was done the same day. I've had remaps done at shops before, but nothing beats doing it at home. Performance-wise: top! The torque and horsepower gain is incredible. A thousand thanks — you'll be my choice from now on :)”
“The difference is impressive — my Q5 now has exactly the power it needed, 220 hp. I'm very satisfied with my remap. The advantage is doing the whole operation without going anywhere, in complete simplicity — that was one reason, if not THE reason, for my decision. Despite the extra power, consumption is actually trending down. You can truly trust them with your remap.”
“Top — Stage 1 on a 2019 A3 Sportback 35 TDI. Torque gains and +45 hp. Took about 15 minutes on my car.”
“Stage 1 E85 + pops and bangs on my RS3 8V. Noticeable power gain and running on E85 without any issue. I find the pops and bangs don't last long enough (about 1 second). Apart from that, very satisfied with this remap.”
“Hello — I remapped a BMW 525d F10, 204 hp, which went to 300 hp. Great result. There was an issue during the flash but Théo was very responsive — outside support hours at that — and it was sorted in a few minutes. Good product and a good team.”
“Where to start… First of all, for the sceptics: this isn't an app out of nowhere — it's been in development for years. These are custom maps: you send your own map and everything is worked on YOUR file, they don't send you a generic map. It's very simple to use and the team guides you through the whole process. It's fast, very easy to pick up, and you can go back to stock whenever you want. In my case the first flash 'crashed' — I restored my original map with no problem, and 5 minutes later received a new map that went through fine. I asked for tweaks until I got exactly what I wanted, all of it very quickly. The app was tested for a long while on a superb Aventador SV — if there were any real risk, I doubt the owner would have chanced wrecking it :-). A similar app has existed for BMWs for years, so really don't worry about the risks. I'm fully satisfied — support, app and result alike. The day I get tired of it, I'll restore my original map in 5 minutes. Map done on my Huracán Evo. Thanks to the whole team!!”
Questions, answered
Is it safe?
Is there any risk for my engine?
Manufacturers de-tune engines at the factory to cope with poor fuel quality in some parts of the world and to meet strict emissions rules — so there’s real performance left on the table.
Our maps are built by powertrain engineers to unlock that reserve while staying inside your engine, turbo and clutch tolerances: software optimisation, same hardware. And it reverses to stock anytime.
Can an interrupted flash brick my ECU?
No — an interrupted flash can’t brick your ECU. Flashing is all-or-nothing: if the write is cut short — a flat battery, a dropped Bluetooth link, the dongle pulled out — the ECU won’t run a half-written program. Instead it stays in programming mode (its bootloader), waiting for a complete file.
While it’s in that state the vehicle won’t start, which can look alarming but is completely safe: nothing is damaged and nothing is lost. You simply reconnect and re-run the flash — SmartFlash is engineered to recover from any state, finish writing, and the engine starts normally.
As a safety net, we also keep your factory file on hand, so you can always write the vehicle back to stock.
Will it void my manufacturer warranty — and is it detectable?
We’ve built the solution so that, once you flash back to stock, it’s usually not visible to a manufacturer — though OEM tools evolve, so we can’t promise that forever.
And to void a warranty on tuning grounds, a manufacturer has to actually prove the vehicle was tuned. A tune can still affect warranty cover, so it’s worth knowing your maker’s terms.
Will it affect my insurance?
It depends on your insurer and country, so we can’t give one global answer. Remember the tune is fully reversible to stock.
Is tuning legal?
It depends on your country and how you use the vehicle — laws differ across the markets we serve, so you’re responsible for checking your local rules. Either way, you can always flash back to stock.
Does it suit an older or high-mileage vehicle?
It can, as long as the engine is healthy and well-maintained — tuning rewards a vehicle in good condition, it won’t revive a tired one. Sort any wear or due service first.
Do I need a healthy battery to flash?
Yes. Flashing draws power for several minutes and the engine can’t be running during programming, so a healthy battery matters — and if yours isn’t in great shape, connect a charger. The app walks you through it; just don’t interrupt the process.
Flashing & the app
Can I switch between the tune and stock whenever I want?
Yes. Your original file is stored, so you can flash to stock and back to your tune in a few minutes from the app, as often as you like — handy for a service, an MOT, or selling the vehicle.
Is the tune really tailored to my vehicle?
Yes — never a generic file. Every map starts from a calibration developed on the dyno for your engine, by powertrain engineers.
You pick the stage and options, and it’s then adapted to your exact ECU software version.
How does this compare to a workshop remap?
It’s the same kind of calibration a good workshop would load — built by powertrain engineers — but without the day without your vehicle or the workshop price, and you install it yourself from your phone.
Unlike most workshop remaps, it’s fully reversible anytime.
How do you calculate the gains?
From dyno data for your engine family. Where we show a modelled curve, it’s labelled as such — what a healthy vehicle on the right fuel should make; your exact numbers depend on your vehicle’s condition, fuel and any hardware.
What does the gearbox tune do?
On automatic and dual-clutch boxes it sharpens and firms up the shifts, raises the torque limiter to hold the new power, quickens kickdown and launch, and removes factory shift restrictions.
It’s a separate optimization from the engine map.
Will more power increase my fuel consumption?
Not necessarily. Driven the same way — especially cruising — many customers see similar or even slightly better economy, because the engine works less for the same result.
Use the extra power often, though, and it’ll drink more, as you’d expect.
Does it work if my vehicle is already tuned or modified?
It depends on your ECU. Where we can fully read its current memory, we can back up an existing tune as a separate map you can keep and install whenever you like.
But our own tuning always starts from a clean factory base — we won’t graft options onto someone else’s map, since we can’t vouch for that work.
So if you have a Stage 1 from another tuner, we can save it for you — provided, as above, that the ECU’s memory can be read; but to get Stage 1 + Pops & Bangs as one of our maps, you’d take Stage 1 from us too (we can always build Pops & Bangs as its own map).
Stages, maps & options
Do higher stages need any hardware changes?
Some do. Stage 2 needs an exhaust change — on diesels the DPF must be physically removed, on petrols the catalytic converter (and the GPF if fitted). The configurator flags this when you pick Stage 2.
Stage 1 is software-only.
Can I add stages or options later?
Anytime. Add any stage or option later for its normal price — you won’t re-pay for the vehicle you’ve already set up — then a €49 build-or-update fee to roll it into a new map or update your current one.
I'm selling my vehicle — can the new owner keep my tunes?
Yes. We offer a transfer of your maps to the new owner's account, for the same vehicle (same VIN), for €99. Everything you had bought for that vehicle becomes available to them — they'll just need an OBD dongle to install it.
If you prefer, restore the vehicle to stock before the sale — free, a few minutes in the app. Either way, remember to tell the buyer if the vehicle is sold tuned.
Can I have more than one map for the same vehicle, and switch between them?
Yes. Everything you buy stays in your toolbox, and you can build several map variants from it — one with Pops & Bangs and one without, an everyday map and a full-power one.
There’s no on-the-fly switching in the app yet (it’s on the roadmap), so you switch by reflashing — a few minutes. Your first map is included; each extra is a €49 build.
The dongle & delivery
How soon do I get my tune file?
Once you’ve registered your vehicle in the app, most tunes are ready within hours — never more than one working day. You’ll be notified when your tune is ready to install.
When does the OBD dongle ship and arrive?
Dongles ship from our EU warehouse within one working day — same day if you order before midday — and arrive in 1 to 5 days depending on your country and whether you pick standard or express.
Exact delivery times show at checkout.
Where do you ship?
Anywhere in the EU.
Can one OBD dongle be used on several vehicles?
Yes. The dongle is just the plug-in interface between the app and your vehicle — it isn’t tied to one vehicle, so a single dongle works on any vehicle you own.
You buy it once; each vehicle has its own tune.
Guarantee
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. We stand behind the calibration itself, and if your manufacturer later pushes a software update to your vehicle, we re-do your tune for free.
Every order also comes with our 30-day money-back guarantee, and the tune is always reversible.
How does the 30-day money-back work?
Within 30 days, flash your vehicle back to stock and send the dongle back to us in its original box and condition.
Once we’ve confirmed the vehicle is on its factory file and the dongle has arrived, we issue your refund.
