Re: ECU tunes
Yep, sorry if my post took this thread in another direction. When I asked my dealer about any warranty claims, they actually told me that they'd just need to reflash to OEM stock and it'd be ok. Lol. Whatever... didn't matter to me cause I'm out of warranty now. What I don't get is how I see folks tune their newer S4s and such (which produce huge gains of over 100hp and torque) and also are a bit higher up in the price range and not care about the warranty issue either. , although I've read there's still ways to get around the TD1 scan. For some, stock is never enough, although honestly, with the experience I am having now with the tune, I'd def do it again in the future with any turbo powered car. It's just too easy for loads more power.

It is a shame about the loss of the naturally aspirated flat sixes though. Just that turbos are the way of the future given the fuel economy requirements these days. Not sure why Porsche owners would really care about fuel economy though.
