Installed this tune (stage 1) on my 21 BT 6MT, wow. From start up through idle and in all drive modes, it’s a huge improvement. Soul exhaust tips improved the exhaust note, especially in sport mode. I’ve changed nothing else.

Awesome video and great detail. thanks for sharing I might add the FVD tune after I have done the X73 suspension package. Looks like it doesn't cause any temperature fluctuation which is good. i have noticed with my 981 the temp never changes even on track. it's good to see your car stays stable with the tune.

No codes since upgrading the tune. I just has emissions and no issues. Everything is running excellent with the FVD tune. I'm looking forward to my FVD stage 3 tune soon!

Fully agree that no Porsche motor should be restricted for marketing reasons. Personally, I didn't feel that much of a difference after the install of my FVD tune but I guess seat-of-the-pants experiences can differ. +/- 300HP for a 1300kg two seater sportscar is indeed more than enough for public road use. Traffic light racers and quarter mile afficionados should look elsewhere for more straight line performance bang for their buck. Even EV's will nowadays beat true sportscars in that department. Porsches are all about the driving experience and engine/exhaust sound is a big part of that, but this Borla exhaust is a little over-the-top for my taste.

Is your 981 PDK? Do you have aftermarket exhaust and engine air filters? If you only have the stage 1 FVD tune, it only removes the factory restricted horsepower, smooths the acceleration, and increases the rev limiter. I have the stage 2 FVD tune that accounts for my K&N engine air filters and my Borla exhaust with manual transmission.

@@edmaverik I have a manual like yours and a Carnewal exhaust modification. Not so sure about the benefits of aftermarket air filters except for more intake sound. Wouldn't Porsche have put this type of filters on e.g. its GT or Turbo cars if there was even a little more performance to be had (same goes for that pricey IPD plenum) ? I am thinking about installing some FVD 200-cell headers though or even a full FVD exhaust system (Quiet version). As soon as my heart manages to convince my mind about its cost, I will most definitely go for a stage 2 tune as well. Sportscars like these will probably never be built again so the Boxster is going to stay in my garage forever. Looking forward to watching your experiences with the new headers.

@@kizmaiaz7671 I will tell you the K&N air filter is very personal choice which I’ve been using for 20 years and now 5 years in my Boxster which opens up breathability IMO. Is your FVD tuned for the Carnewal?? That makes a huge difference to have the FVD tuned to include it

It was dramatic when installing the Borla exhaust in my 981 for a year, I loved the throttle response after it was installed and the shear new exhaust note was intoxicating for the entire year of just driving with only that. If I could do it again, I would get the FVD tune first to enjoy the FVD tune first for a year then get the Borla.

Yes, I still have my Boxster. It's mind blowing amazing still and runs perfectly with the new headers. I should have gotten it done sooner, but honestly, I am glad I did it last because it really enhanced the joy and driving factor every minute when I go out for a drive. Do it if you can is all I tell people with a base 981.
