Eligibility depends on the June 2020 ECU-security cutoff; diesel SQ8s and later locked ECUs need separate verification. Fabspeed Motorsport, based in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, develops exhaust systems, air intakes and ECU tuning for sports cars including Porsche. Its development work uses dynamometer testing, road evaluation and racetrack testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer product reference: FS.AUD.SQ8.ECU.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupply the SQ8 VIN, ECU identifiers, intended fuel octane and a complete hardware list.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrange the programming service before disconnecting or shipping control units.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalibration is matched to the original vehicle file; it is not a replacement ECU or a handheld interface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe original software is retained.
