* V202 maps, the COBB Sequential Style Maps, as well as the faster shifting feature in the COBB Aggressive map are not available on the Q033 operating system. The Q033 operating system is deprecated and was only released on early model year support. All cars should have been updated to the latest Q061 operating system via previous campaign updates in prior dealer visits. Please visit your dealer to update from Q033 to Q061 to enable full feature capability.*
PDK Tuning Activation:
If you did not initially purchase your Accessport with PDK support, please contact the COBB Tuning customer service team via phone or email.
Required Accessport Firmware:
AP3-POR-006-PDK: 1.7.3.0-16616 or greater
AP3-POR-007: 1.7.4.2-19562

ECU Map Note Locations:
Requirements:
Simulated Stock - Requires stock PDK with stock clutches.
COBB Sport - Requires stock PDK with stock clutches.
COBB Aggressive - Requires stock PDK, stock clutches, and v200 or higher ECU maps.
COBB High Torque Aggressive - Requires stock PDK, stock clutches, and v200 or higher ECU maps.
If this map is flashed to the TCU a PDK Relearn must be completed when changing maps back to COBB Sport, COBB Aggressive, COBB Sequential Style, COBB OEM+, Simulated Stock, or when uninstalling the Accessport. Failure to do so may result in less than desirable shifting and/or TCU errors. PDK Relearn instructions are located below.
COBB Sequential Style - Requires stock PDK, stock clutches, and v200 or higher ECU maps.
COBB OEM+ - Requires stock PDK, stock clutches, and v200 or higher ECU maps.
**All COBB Aggressive, COBB High Torque Aggressive, COBB Sequential Style, or COBB OEM+ maps require the update to v200 or greater COBB OTS ECU maps. Please contact your preferred COBB Authorized Porsche ProTuner for a COBB PDK compatibility update if you currently have a ProTune based on a deprecated ECU map.**
Porsche 991 Turbo PDK
Increased Minimum Shift Points
This feature increases the lowest RPM at which the PDK will shift to the next gear in Normal and Sport drive modes.Under normal driving conditions shift points are similar to stock for reasonable driving. Under aggressive driving conditions / High throttle demand the shift points will be increased to the higher limits.
Normal Mode:
Sport Mode:
Increased Auto Shift Points
This feature increases the highest RPM at which the PDK will shift to the next gear in Normal, Sport, and Sport Plus drive modes.
991 Turbo
COBB Sport increases the auto shift limit to Turbo S factory shift RPM.
COBB Aggressive and COBB High Torque Aggressive maps increase the auto shift limit to a maximum of 7400RPM.
991 Turbo S
COBB Sport does not increase the auto shift limit on the Turbo S.
COBB Aggressive and COBB High Torque Aggressive maps increase the auto shift limit to a maximum of 7400RPM.
Race Start Lite:
This adds Race Start to Porsche Normal and Sport drive modes for all cars (including vehicles that do not have Sport Chrono). In COBB Sport, COBB Aggressive, and COBB High Torque Aggressive maps Race Start Lite is set at 4500RPM in Normal and Sport drive modes. Race Start in Sport Plus remains at the factory 5500RPM.
Increased Shift Firmness
COBB Sport, COBB Aggressive, and COBB High Torque Aggressive maps raise the shift firmness to help reduce clutch slip.
Increased Clutch Pressure
COBB High Torque Aggressive maps raise the maximum clutch pressures to help reduce clutch slip after shifting. The COBB High Torque Aggressive map is typically used on vehicles that have an increased engine torque output of 50% or more over stock. If the COBB High Torque Aggressive map is flashed to the TCU a PDK Relearn must be completed when changing maps back to COBB Sport, COBB Aggressive, Simulated Stock, or when uninstalling. Failure to do so may result in less than desirable shifting and/or TCU errors. PDK Relearn instructions are located below.
Minimized Continuous Clutch Slip
COBB Sport, COBB Aggressive, and COBB High Torque Aggressive maps decrease the RPM at which the clutch is engaged in continuous slip, generally between 1000-2500RPM.
Decreased Shift Time
COBB Aggressive, COBB High Torque Aggressive, and COBB Sequential Style maps decrease upshift and downshift time
Reversed Shift Stalk
COBB Sequential Style maps reverse the shift stalk in manual mode. This enables you to pull back on the stalk for an upshift and push forward for a downshift for a more traditional motorsport feel.
Idle Creep Disabled
COBB Sequential Style maps disable the creep when releasing the brake from a standstill or low vehicle speeds. The car will only move with user input to the accelerator pedal.
Caution: This will allow a vehicle in Drive to roll backwards on a hill if the foot or parking brake is released as the clutches are not engaged until the gas pedal is used.
Dual Paddle Neutral
COBB Sequential Style maps enable the car to instantly go into neutral when both upshift and downshift paddles are held on the steering wheel.
This feature will only work with paddle shifted steering wheels. Steering wheels with the embedded shifting buttons will not work. An upgraded/retrofitted paddle shifted steering wheel will need to be properly coded at the dealer to utilize the feature.
Kickdown Disable
COBB Sequential Style maps disable the kickdown in manual mode. The transmission will no longer downshift when hitting the kickdown in manual mode.
Summary
COBB Sport: Increased minimum shift points, Race Start Lite enabled, shift firmness increased, and continuous slip decreased.
COBB Aggressive: All COBB Sport features plus increased maximum shift points and decreased shift time.
COBB High Torque Aggressive: All COBB Sport features plus further increased clutch pressures and increased maximum shift points.
COBB Sequential Style: All COBB Aggressive and COBB Sport features plus Reversed Shift Stalk, Idle Creep Disabled, Dual Paddle Neutral, and Kickdown Disable.
COBB OEM+: Includes COBB Sequential Style Map features but with OEM shift points in Normal, Sport, & Sport Plus modes.
