Retrofitting Sports Chrono to a Boxster Sypder

[Alpinestars]

A few questions on Sports Chrono (SC) on a Sypder manual

Can it be retrofitted (presumably without the wart)?
Can anyone tell me the benefits of Sports Chrono on a manual Spyder?
Does it allow an intermediate level of traction control? ie, without SC, there is on or off.

Thanks in advance.

1: about £800
2: you get about 10% more slip angle to play with
3: throttle response is better

Thanks David, I knew you'd know. I was going to drop you a PM.

When you say 10% more slip angle, I assume you mean 10% more than if ESP is on, so it does give an intermediate level?

Is it just a software upgrade and a new button?

[PorscheGT4]

yes more than every thing off, but not as much as PSM off, every thing normal and PSM is always flashing and is rubbish.

but sport on and PSM off seems to give even more as PSM cuts back in to early even when off, but a bit later if sports on also

if that makes sense !

yes you just get a new button, and new software.

the throttle is perfect though in sports mode, it feels a bit dead out of sport imo.

you need to try my car with it's upgrades it's amazing ;-) the manifolds have given it a new lease of life in the mid range and sound.

[Alpinestars]

Thanks. What manifolds have you gone for? Is the exhaust standard?

[PorscheGT4]

yes kept rear section and fitted Cargrahic's manifolds, wow is all I can say.

Does sound good.....some standard cars are still quicker though

Phone around a few OPCs.

When I retrofitted Sport mode to my Cayman R I was quoted various prices from £580 up to £900, I kid you not.

Swindon was the cheapest but Reading price matched them in the end.

I specifically didn't spec it from new since I never liked the look of the wart in my 911 when I had it.

Just seen this post.

With sports-chrono retro fitted (on a manual) do you get rev-matching on down shifts ?

Does it follow that can I have Sport Chrono retro fitted to my 2014 PDK Cayman S (with out the dash top carbuncle)?
