Todd @Protomotive is the best Porsche tuner that you will find out there! He's done an amazing job helping me over the years to build, tune and refine my car's power from a stock 996tt with bolt-ons, to a fully built motor on race fuel. His knowledge and experience regarding 911 turbo motors and ECU tuning is vast and profound, down to the most intricate details. And above all he treats his clients with respect and kindness. Highly recommended!

Can’t say enough good things about Todd and his team at Protomotive. Their parts are top quality, the quality of packing of the parts to my house was beyond what I have seen before. Todds support through the build (in my garage on quick jacks) was stellar. Went from my completely stock 996 Turbo to a MAFless, XR1100, big intercooler, dual 450 Walbro, 1650cc injector build. As these are all completely different than stock, had many questions for Todd along the way. He was always very happy and delightful to deal with, including on weekends… which you rarely see these days. He would send pictures, diagrams and be very helpful explaining over the phone. The car is running great, making 692hp on pump gas, plan is to add in E85 next spring then eventually a full stroke and sleeve build with GT3 goodies in the future. His attention to detail on tuning is like no other. If you’re looking at different companies to build a high horsepower Porsche, I highly highly recommend Todd and his team at Protomotive. You will be very pleased with that decision as I am.

I installed an MRN twin turbo kit on my 07 Cayman S which came with a canned tune. I never thought the car ran as well as it's potential. Todd at Protomotive remote tuned my car and it is now running perfectly. Now this Cayman has the smooth exhilarating horsepower it deserves along with perfect cold start, hot start, idle plus still getting 28mpg cruising at 80. Cheers, Todd

I've been working with Toddfor many years on many projects. His knowledge is unsurpassed. Customer service is top notch, before during and after the job. We were doing a 993 TT motor and he rattled some part numbers off the top of his head for some application! I thought I knew a lot about Porsches! Can't recommend him enough. You will not be disappointed.

Todd & his team at Protomotive are the best! He was so helpful with my 996 Turbo, car was having idling issues after install of k16 hybrid turbos and a few other mods. He was willing to work with my Mechanic over the phone to diagnose the problem. Truly cares about his customers and the product he gives out! Very refreshing to see now a days. Anyone on the fence about using Protomotive, DO IT they are great people! And make GREAT POWER😎

👍 The Porsche Whisperers! 🔑 As a die-hard Porsche fanatic, I've had my fair share of disappointing experiences with so-called "experts" who promise the world but fail to deliver. That all changed when I discovered the wizards at Protomotive Inc. 🧙‍♂️ From the moment I reached out, I knew I was in capable hands. Their level of communication and attention to detail blew me away. Todd, the master himself, listened intently to my goals and provided invaluable insights that immediately put me at ease. 💬 But the real magic happened when my beloved Porsche arrived at their shop. It was like they spoke a secret language that allowed them to tap into the very soul of my ride. With surgical precision, they dissected every component, addressing even the most minute issues that had plagued me for years. 🔍🩺 And then came the transformation. Protomotive waved their wands (or wrenches, in this case) and unleashed a level of performance that left me speechless. My Porsche emerged as a fire-breathing beast, purring with refined savagery that could only be achieved through their dark arts. 🐉🔥 But what truly sets Protomotive apart is their unwavering commitment to reliability. They didn't just make my Porsche faster; they made it bulletproof, ensuring that every mile would be a thrill ride without the fear of breakdowns or costly repairs. 🛡️ To sum it up, Protomotive isn't just a company; they're a brotherhood of Porsche whisperers who possess an almost mystical ability to unlock the true potential of these legendary machines. If you're ready to experience automotive sorcery at its finest, look no further than the masters at Protomotive Inc. Your Porsche will thank you! 🙌✨

Todd is the ultimate godfather of Porcshe! His knowledge and informative videos have been invaluable to me as a Porsche enthusiast. I'm incredibly grateful for his expertise and guidance. I had an intermittent problem with my 996tt that has plagued the car for 6 years, no shops were able to figure out the problem. I emailed Todd and he narrowed it down within a couple emails, and sure enough he guided me to the problem and it was a simple fix in the end. Not to mention Todd's tuning skills are off the charts, as the car also traps 144mph in the 1/4 mile. Keep up the fantastic work, Todd!

I wanted to thank Todd at Protomotive Motorsports for going above and beyond when he helped me sort out a problem with a product that I had purchased from another vendor. Todd seems to always have the knowledge to put together the best combination of parts to make any model Porsche not only go fast or handle better, but do it reliably. He always answers the phone. In the rare event he doesn’t pick up he gets back to you within twenty four hours. Emails get responded to just as quick. I really appreciate having some like Todd available when working on any Porsche as you know he has a proven setup to satisfy any goal. Thx Chris

I don’t think there is a better shop to shop entrust your Porsche to then Protomotive and the Knighton’s. Just search there name with 993 and you can start to get an idea of their storied history of building monster but reliable 911 Turbos! I have over 12 years and 30k miles (street, autox & track) on the Protomotive set up on my 997tt and it has never skipped a beat!


Feb 07, 2024

Super in every way..2 years now in ecu and tcu perfect power delivery ,reliable,and fast as mr Todd promise in number...i can say even i draggy was the same numbers as promise to achieve with this set up.


Feb 07, 2024

The engineers at Protomotive are absolutely the best. They performed extensive work on my Porsche GT2 and I literally could not be happier. Their work, attention to detail, problem solving and communication with me were all next level. Customer service is remarkable. I had a question while at the track, on a Saturday, and Todd immediately responded to my questions. Class act.


Feb 07, 2024

Todd and his team are true professionals and they always provide excellent customer service, quality parts they sell and very reliable engine builds. This is very rare in our industry today. Great job Protomotive!


Feb 07, 2024

Todd est l homme de la situation…. Des difficultés ou des problèmes pour régler le problème? Todd trouve la solution malgré la distance ( je suis français) Merci à lui et son équipe pour leurs conseils … Maintenant mon 997 turbo fonctionne à merveille et est un véritable avion de chasse! Je recommande a 1000% !!! À bientôt pour d autres évolutions !!!

Todd has got to be the world's expert in forced induction Mezger Porsche engines. I've worked with a bunch of mechanics, tuners, engine builders across multiple Porsches over multiple decades... and Todd has been the most helpful and knowledgeable of the bunch. And this has even been true while working with him remotely! (I'm in CA and he's in AR.) Just by looking at my logs and hearing about my engine rebuild, he's been able to diagnose stuff that in-person mechanics have not been able to. For example, Todd was the only person looking at my car to suggest a problem with a BRV could explain some of the weird behavior... following his advice, I dug in myself... lo and behold, torn BRV diaphragm on bank 1! Wow! Further, Todd has the most experience tuning these cars of any tuner I've worked with. Tune is absolutely solid and safe. Very very confident in his work!!! Absolute strongest possible recommendation!!


Feb 07, 2024

Todd is by far the most professional and knowledgeable Porsche person I have ever worked with in my life and I have had many cars and have been doing this for over 20 years. He not only knows how to overcome every single problem, but also knows how to explain exactly what he is doing and brings the car to a point where it feels like stock even though it has double or triple the power. If you go anywhere else you would be making a mistake


Feb 07, 2024

Unfortunately they could not resolve my issue, but Todd tried very hard to find some other resolutions. He was very helpful and responsive.


Feb 07, 2023

Protomotive makes top of the line products, and Todd is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Without a doubt, one of the best aftermarket auto companies I've worked with!


Feb 07, 2022

Got a dual clutch kit from Todd for our +1000hp 997T build and I'm more than satisfied with his excellent support in every aspect. Thanks a lot!


Feb 07, 2022

Had an amazing experience with Promotive tuning my 997 Porsche Turbo. Todd was very receptive to my needs, provided amazing feedback and documentation to the tuning process. I have had my car 13 years and it has never ran better. They even diagnosed a mechanical issue while tuning with 100% accuracy. Thank you for your truly outstanding service.


Feb 07, 2022

I have been working with Todd for a few months now on a very complex 3.8L Porsche 997 big turbo + meth engine rebuild. He has been instrumental in resolving tuning challenges and is an absolute pleasure to work with. All done virtually (I'm in Canada). His knowledge, skill and customer service are second to none. I would highly recommend him for all Porsche enthusiasts that want to get peak performance out of their cars.


Feb 07, 2022

I've been working with Todd at Protomotive for over 15 years. He's been the person primarily responsible for the success of my Porsche 993 turbo. While most "tuners" sell canned one size fits all solutions Todd pushes the boundaries and thinks outside of the box. He's been the tip of the spear in aftermarket performance advancements for as long as I can remember. It's been a pleasure to have Protomotive as a partner in my evil creations. If you want to take the red pill and breakaway from the pack give these folks a call.


Feb 07, 2022

The Best Porsche Specialist in all of North America. Todd and Cynthia are an amazing team. These People are simply a blessing to be around.


Feb 07, 2021

I had the pleasure of having Todd upgrade the tune for my 2009 Cayenne Turbo and I am extremely please with the end product. Very reliable tune with no CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS 👍🏼 Great communication and excellent response time. If you love your Cayenne the team at Protomotive will make you love it more.


Feb 07, 2020

Todd at Protomotive is a great guy! He took the time to respond to emails and answer questions, even though they were not in regards to a Porsche. A+ business practices there!
