Nick, I didn't know the alcantara wing was available. I need to get that for my Corolla. Merry Xmas! Thanks for your channel.

What I want to see is a tuned base model against a stock S

Id like to see turbo temp, water temp and oil temp numbers posted. Then you will have a good indication of the effects of the tune. As someone else noted, theporsche turbo has many more cooling bits to calm the fire.

That howling flat six is intoxicating....

tuned 991.2 vs turbo please

Always such a breath of fresh air to watch Nick's videos - Happy Xmas Nick!

Very tempting indeed! Thanks and Merry Christmas Nick!

A 911T tuned could be a great bargain.

Nick, William looks a little depressed....he probably just needs a bit more sunshine in his day. lol...... Hey in all seriousness I hope you have a wonderful holiday and a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy all your family coming to visit in your beautiful home. Thanks for all the fun and good humor (and learning a thing or two about cars) that you gave us in 2017. Cheers to a glorious 2018.

I had a GIAC tune on my mkiv Gti and it was a night and day difference. 50hp and 50tq for only 600 dollars. GIAC makes some of the most reliable tunes out there.

Cheap HP in Porsche money. The sound is the only thing missing in the turbo cars, but can't have everything. Love that color...

A Nick Murray video for Christmas! Thanks! Merry Christmas .

Oh that glorious engine note... That alone was worth the like. :-) Merry Christmas Nick!

Dit the tune for my 17 991.2. Big difference for sure.

That is an insane difference. Thank you for the video. Merry Christmas.

Tuned C2S - Widowmaker is Back

Nick your use of go pros and dslr camera really adds to the production value. I know editing takes longer but well worth it in the end.

Have an '04 Mini Cooper S JCW bought new. Love it, have no intention (or ability) to get a Porsche. Last had a couple in LA in another life. But I really enjoy your posts. So joyful, which is the whole point of driving, whatever you drive. Mahalo!

Great job Nick, I love your videos!!

Nick you gotta tune yours

Love that graphite blue metallic!

Hi Nick! Happy holidays! We got our 06 Boxster S tuned years ago and it was amazing the difference even for a NA car. Optimize for an exhaust and even better. Porsche has so many restrictions from the factory you really do get a bit of lowest common denominator action. I bet that was fun! F

Nick, love the content as always. Top class.

Merry Christmas Nick! 🌲Enjoyed the video. Entertaining as always!

Love your videos, Merry Christmas!

The tunes I know about on 997 turbos increases the maintenance schedule, especially plugs - which are difficult to replace because of where they're located. Not a problem necessarily, just something you should be aware of. But honestly, there's no way Porsche will cover any major service issues if your car has a tune. If your heated seats stop working sure, the tune won't matter in their eyes, but any mechanical problems and they'll blame the tune. I'd give it a couple of years, wait and see what tuners learn after these cars run their tunes for 30000+ miles. The 997 tuners know exactly what can happen and explain it all in detail. I'd worry I was guinea pig in the tuners experiment with the 991.2 because it's still so new.

Wow, to pull away like that is a significant change. Thx!

Merry Christmas Love ❤️ the channel

Happy Holidays Saint Nick!

Amazing - and makes it even better to know you can buy the lower model than the Turbo and have the OPTION to go up in power to match it.

Great Video Nick! I’d love to see a GIAC Tuned 991.2 base 911 vs. a stock 991.2 911S.

Nick, Mike’s car also has a Speedtech Exhaust system. Might have been worth mentioning that exhaust in combination with a tune is a great combo mod. Nice video!

Merry Christmas to you and your family + pets Nick .

I just saw this now. Excellent, informative video, Nick. I assume that if you want to mimick a turbo to some degree, then it's best to do this tuning on a 4S. My question is whether you think that if one does it with a S (RWD), then might you see more fishtailing or oversteer when driving on a track? Whatever the case, this seems like a great mod that's easy to do.

Noice, happy holidays!

My Audi dealer actually sells the APR tune in their service dept (which I did get). They are cool with it, but technically it does void your warranty and it says that on the invoice. However, they imply that you could switch the programming back to stock for any potential warranty claim as the tune can be reverted between stock and tuned programs by a simple switch.

Big difference, great content Nick.

The Color on the tuned 4S looks so good - and it seems to be a Bit lower compared to the stock one; very nice !

Hey Nick, it would be great for you to post the wheel and suspension specs on that tuned C4S ! It sits and looks perfect, and those wheels look great.

I like that this gets you close to turbo power but lets you keep the stick that I wish where still an option on the turbo!

AWSOME! Take a great car and make more. Even seems to sound better. Merry Christmas and Dilly! Dilly!

Please do another review of this car. Love the wheels and the stance. What wheels are those?

So how is the tuned C4S holding up (maintenance and issues wise) compared to the stock C4S after five years? Thinking about doing work to my 991.2 C4S after the warranty expires.

6:06 The Turbo now has 540hp not 520hp , i only watch Nick videos to catch a mistake or 2 ;)

A tuned 4S vs the turbo please! Great vid!

Hey Nick, do a video on the next generation 911. Yea baby!

Great video!!!

Happy Christmas everyone! Nick, look for that Turbo and compare it to Mike’s C4S. Then you can decide if you want to chiptune your car. Not that there are reasons not to do it, since you have a manual gear and even as a stock car it’s difficult to compare it to others since nearly all Americans buy the PDK versions. If you decide to do it, let your dealership install the new chip. I did that with my Audi, and that way at least you’ll keep the guarantees on the car valid. Thx for the vid, like always! Cheers, Irwin

Nice review. I was curious

Nick, ecu tune crossed my mind as well, where I ended up was it’s less about a local service shop’s view point, rather once they plug in your vehicle, Porsche will receive the data points on your car. While nothing will happen at that point, there would be the issue if something does happen to your engine etc, they can point to the software regardless. Sure your can spend the energy fighting this back and forth if you have the time. For me, the real deal breaker was, these are still relatively new engines to the market and would like to see more feedback in a years time. Thoughts?

Nick, I love your videos. Seems like our taste in Porsches is similar. I have a 88 s4 and a 17 C4gts. I actually just upgraded from a 16 C2 that I put a sharkworks tune on and I am really debating tuning my gts. What tune was on the 991.2 that you were driving in this video?

Very Cool and I love the color of that one.

DO IT. DO IT NOW! Haha...Merry Christmas Nick! I've always been too chicken with my cars. I was always worried about warranty issues even though supposedly I was covered. Very ,very tempting though

Thanks for the upload. Unfortunately most of my friends own corollas and civics so I'm kind of jealous.

Merry Christmas!

Awesome video Nick...and an impressive improvement...wow! Yet I'm not 100 percent convinced Porsche NA will cover an engine issue that has had its pcm tuned ..I'd recommend waiting until after warranty is no longer a concern to owners..80 hp and 100lb ft of tq for two grand mit be too tempting to not say good bye to the warranty! Merry Christmas Santa came a day early

That color, sunroof delete, nice wheels...winner!!!

Gotta see a race with the turbo! Also track down a tuned non S for a vid. Fun stuff!

There is no way Porsche UK would allow a customer to tune their carrera without it affecting warranties.. shame.. Great video though!! Hope you have good Christmas and all the best for 2018! Cowan

Great video Nick. These cars definitely need to be unlocked. I suffer from horsepower inferiority complex (H.I.C.) after paying over $100g for a car that wont keep up with a new Mustang GT. I have a 991.2 C2 manual that I’m planning to upgrade with Cobb’s off the shelf map and maybe upgrade the intercooler once my warranty is up. GIAC’s bench flashing sounds like a pain as you are carless for a couple of days waiting for them to ship back your ECU. Cobb has a plug and play platform through an OBD II port and sounds user friendly. You should definitely tune your car as there’s an uninstall feature. Also can you do a comparison video between the Carrera and Carrera S and go over the value proposition for road use and occasional track. With these new ECU tunes coming out, it makes it harder to choose an S unless you desperately need PTV, 6piston brakes, rear wheel steering. I agree with your stance on the GTS. Thx

Nick, great video. I would not do it on my new GTS because it could cause warranty problems.

Wow!! I had no idea that a simple tune could make that much of a difference

Merry Christmas Nick. What happens with warranty after this tune?

What wheels and drop does your buddy have? Great video!

I wouldn't touch a tune on a car that is still under any kind of warranty for obvious reasons. Sure, some might say it "shouldn't be an issue" but tell that to the guy that blows his engine and now has a $40,000 bill to replace it and the dealer/regional service rep finds either the tune or data collected that indicates higher boost ranges only possible by the tune. I have seen this happen in the past with less expensive cars, and you better believe it would happen with a Porsche. Outside a warranty? I am all for the Tune!

Nick, I think you should definitely look into getting the tune. I don't know how it works with your engine, but in my N54 BMW 135i I can flash the stock map in less than 2 minutes as well as reflash the tune in the same amount of time with my android device. If it is that simple with your car you should get the tune and just flash back to stock for comparison videos

Hi Nick, thanks for the informative video! Can I ask who's tune he used?

Hi Nick, could you do a carrera 4 vs carrera 4s comparison sometime soon? Thanks!

love the wheel spec on the tuned car - are those 21's all around?

That's the great thing about turbo motors, such a large increase in performance is great bang for buck compared to tuning an NA motor. These 991s will be monsters once they get a little older and aftermarket support increases.

Tunes are great. We did one on our Porsche Boxster. So worth it. I seriously doubt the tune will hurt your car. Heidi

Hey Nick, I was thinking would it be possible to do the opposite and limit the torque curve instead, making it feel more like a naturally aspirated engine? I believe Ferrari applies the same trick on lower gears on 488/California T. Thank you for the video and merry Christmas!

that is astonishing. reminds me of when i tuned my audi s4. night and day. how does it impact warranty?

*Nice to see that the tuned 911, has a proper transmission.*

I went for the full meal deal with my Turbo S stage IV tune, turbos, larger exhangers and exhaust...really turned into a beast...you should go for it Nick..life is short...tune it !!

That's an amazing amount of performance gain, especially especially when you no longer have to touch a wrench and/or spend hours installing a bunch of ill-fitting hardware on your engine. Does installing the tune effect your factory warranty?

Nick, does a 911 Turbo have the same tuning upside options available to get even more HP and torque?

Have a Merry Christmas!

Inspiration Nick Iam a fellow Kiwi to working my way to the 911 Iam at the cayman stage at the moment keep up the awesome videos

Hi Nick, the colour of the tuned 911 looks great, is this graphite blue metallic? Merry Christmas to you and your family

I love the color of your friend’s car.

Hi Nick- what do you use to edit your videos. What is your favorite camera for hand held point and shoot car interior and exterior shots?

Hi Nick, I'm wondering if a stage 1 ECU tune will affect the factory warranty. Also, are those stock wheels on the tuned car? Looks great!

love the Agate grey.

Merry Christmas all n happy holidays. Thanks Nick, you just saved me a bucket load of money from not buying the 911 Turbo instead buying the 911 C4S. I'm not interested in track racing, but tuning this kind of vehicle makes a big difference to an everyday drive. Maybe I will look at an aftermarket sports exhaust kit as well, this will absolutely kill it.

Love that grey color on that 911, what's Porsche's color option name for it?

I live in Trumbull CT. I drive that stretch of road everyday. You mentioned the Porsche dealer doesn’t mind if you do a stage 1 tune. Do you happen to be talking about Fairfield Porsche?

More details on the C4S. Looks like it has springs and spacers installed. What ECU is installed, thx, Adam

Watching from Auckland

Awesome color combo on that tuned 4s :p

I apologize if you stated it already in the video and I missed it, but would you mind sharing the company or brand of the tune? Very impressive!

Nick, what are those wheels?? They look great!

I just got a 2018 4s and consider a APR stage one. I still have 4 years of factory warranty/unlimited miles. Could you give any advise on have the tune and not void the factory warranty? Any tune friendly Porsche dealership you recommend? Thanks! Love your video!

Can I just add that I think 1985 was a great year for cars. Perhaps because I got my DL that year. My favorites from that year are mustang gt and svo. Iroc and trans am. Porsche 928 and 911 and 944. Even though 944 had a vw rabbit interior.

The difference is massive and a great opportunity to tune once bored of the current power. Did the owner say how much of an increase in torque/power the uprated chip achieved?

Very interesting video, if i tune my M4 will it make it sound better?

If you have the opportunity it be great to see a Boxster tune against a stock Boxster

Very impressive.

What make are the rims on the tuned C4S...their beautiful

I guess the only reason to buy a Turbo is to say you have a “real” Turbo..... And is that Graphite Blue Metallic? It’s freaking gorgeous!! Love it! Almost as good as Speed Yellow!!
