On my last Porsche 996tt the Softronic ECU reflash gave a huge 80 BHP gain for about $1,500 CDN. Compared to that a small 23 BHP gain seems very little.
I was expecting something between 40 to 50 BHP gain, less than that would a loss money.

Completely comparing apples to oranges. Start to understand this on an M2...it's already tuned up from the m235i to higher boost by BMW to give you that 365hp on the same exact turbo as the m235i uses on theeeee same exact 4" down pipe.
So everything else on the n55 platform tuned in comparison will jump out at you and speak volumes and people say well the M235i or 435i make more on a flash tune.... does it really? Yeah because it's a detuned ecu.
The m2 turbo is maxed it will not do anything much more. They're lucky they got 23hp. Bigger turbo if you want more power period. You can't come in and say well my 997tt this and that gained me 100hp lol ok it's 2 turbos, it's an ancient platform that never had any type of dme encryption and one can change files and maps at will.
People gotta start getting over the freebee crap like the n54 days where you spend $48.92 cents and gain 150rwhp
