Product Description
The S-trim 718 engine builds on that same turbocharged flat-four architecture, stepping up to 2.5L and adding something that, at launch, existed nowhere else in Porsche's non-911-Turbo lineup: a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. VTG lets the turbine's vanes adjust in real time, acting like a small turbo at low rpm and a large one at high rpm, which is how Porsche engineered a genuinely quick-spooling turbo four without the usual flat-spot compromise. It's 911 Turbo-derived engineering dropped straight into the mid-engine cars, and it's the reason the S engine feels like a meaningfully different animal from the base 2.0L, not just a bigger one.
Weistec's calibration for the 2.5L is an OEM-level software recalibration layered on top of that factory engineering, not a generic tune. Every factory protection system (knock control, thermal limits, OEM diagnostics) stays exactly as Porsche designed it. Here, that work is worth going from 350 to 407 horsepower and 309 to 390 lb-ft of torque, making full use of a turbocharger that the factory calibration was already leaving real performance on the table with, finally letting this engine show what its hardware was capable of all along.

Complete The Upgrade
An ECU tune alone won't remove all factory limits or fix how power reaches the ground. Add these to round out the upgrade with no limitations.

What is a CPC module?
The CPC (Central Powertrain Control) is a separate control unit that manages things like the active exhaust valves, radiator fan, intercooler pumps, and speed limiter. On many newer Mercedes-Benz vehicles, it also houses torque limiters that can hold back an ECU tune from reaching its full potential.
What is a TCU tune?
A TCU (transmission control unit) tune delivers faster, firmer shifts with higher line pressure, reducing clutch slip and increasing the transmission's torque capacity. It's a worthwhile upgrade on its own, or paired with an ECU tune for a fully sorted powertrain.
Good to Know
- This is a reflash of your original module, not a stand-alone unit.
- Power gains vary by vehicle, modifications, fuel, and operating conditions (ambient temperature, altitude, etc.).
- New or upgraded spark plugs are always recommended when tuning.
- Product may not be emissions compliant. Check local laws prior to installation.
- Always use a battery charger during programming.
