DSC V3 controller is compatible to control OEM PASM dampers, Bilstein B4, B6, B8, B16, and any other brand dampers that are compatible with the OEM controller. This is because the control principles are the same for this vehicle type, the difference is DSC has more advanced control logic and user tune-able software.

I installed mine last week and so far with the base map the ride quality is improved. Was a bit taken back by how harsh the car was with the original controller. Cant wait to get the laptop connected and do some damper tuning...

The 991.2 unit is back ordered on the TPC website as of today.

I have a friend who bought one for his GTS, could not discern any difference (?!?) in handling, and wants to sell it.

He literally opened it, installed, test drove and removed it.

If you want one for the same price as TPC plus $9 shipping, it’s on eBay:

EBay link to TOC DSC V3

(He’s 80 and I listed it for him.)

Sorry to post it on this thread, but maybe someone wants one now rather than waiting for it to be back in stock.

Question... And this may have already been asked but I honestly can't read through 40 pages of text. Maybe @Tom@TPC Racing can answer.

I have a 991.2 C2S without Sport PASM. I believe it just has PASM as standard equipment. I'm interested in lowering my vehicle with H&R Sport Springs. Would adding the DSC controller be something I do after the springs and does the controller require different programming or settings due to the springs? If so, how is that done?

I added springs after the DSC was installed. All I did was go into the DSC and zero the ride height, it was way off after the springs.

What if you don’t have a laptop? How would you zero the ride height then?

You don't. Add the cost of a cheap windows laptop to the cost of ownership of a Turbo if you want a DSC controller and lowering springs....

Or drive to TPC racing, I'm sure they would do it for you. Or if you're lucky a local race shop or another porsche enthusiast who knows DSC and has a laptop.

What if you start with the lowering springs BEFORE installing the DSC. Then, does the DSC install zeroed to the lowered height of the existing H&R springs?

Pretty sure that's not how it works.... A cheap windows laptop can be had for $250 or so brand new. Not exactly a huge expense, you'll likely pay at least that much just for the alignment after lowering?

I just met these guys at SEMA yesterday. I got a great overview of the technology, and after meeting them I am definitely going to pull the trigger.

You should do it Sooner, you know, rather than later. 🤣
