Does anyone know who is able to map TPC DSC units in UK. I have sent it to the US to redo and it still isn't right. Sending it over there takes time and costs too much. I have tried myself without success.

I thought is was a DIY job with support of the guys in the States.

Parr Motorsports in Crawley fitted my DSC and I'm pretty sure they tune them...

Those of you that have fitted these, can I ask what cars and how you are getting along with them.

I'm thinking of fitting one to my GT4.

Thanks.

I fitted one to my 997.2 GT3 .. the map from DSC was bumpy road.

For UK A and B roads, ride compliance is noticeably improved. Steering feel improved (slightly less fidgeting and more accurate) too on bumpy roads. And you can use Sport mode on UK roads.

The car feels more sure footed, handles with more precision and because ride compliance is better, whole car feels more cohesive.

The one 'downside' is that it feels less 'raw' .. but for me, the trade off is well worth it.

I will be fitting a unit to my 997.1 GT3 and possibly remapping it to my own preferences. There seems to be a lot of scope for tuning during different the phases of the corner.

Interesting. I put one on a 7.2RS, it's better on track (settles faster over kerbs and much better on high speed direction changes) but on the road I found very little difference. The only thing I noticed was that the car kind of porpoised around less on uneven surfaces, ride quality was pretty much the same (firm but not uncomfortable so) and the car didn't feel any different (as in more or less 'raw'). Sport mode is actually usaeable on the road now though when on the OEM map sport mode was pretty much useless. I haven't messed around with the software tuning myself yet.

Not sure on 'advertising' rules but I have one for sale (or rent) if someone wants to try it.

What car is it for and is it the latest version?

I found the difference on the road very noticeable. Far better ride, nice and compliment over Sussex b roads...

On track very good too, noticeably flatter in turns, reduced dive. Impressive box of tricks. No tuning, don't really understand the options there yet!

Hm...your experience sounds much like another PHer who i know put one on his car at around the same time I did and also thought it was much better on the road. Am starting to wonder if there's not something wrong with my car now irked or perhaps I'm just not particularly sensitive as I have to admit I always thought the RS was very decent on the road anyway....

I quite like the idea, and it seems it's better on the gt4 and 991 platform than the older cars.

should stop dive and roll and gives 100% of the range of the Shock over the poor PASM range.
hence people stating nicer ride on the road etc.

they now have tuning guides starting as it was my issue that I would like a slider and better interface

DSC Sport Tuning Academy on you tube, but no real guides posted yet, just how to connect it

Cheers SFO! And the others who've shared experience. Sounds like a worthwhile mod with real world benefit.
