Also it is virtually impossible to get a CEL as the tolerances are much greater on the ROW program. Those are the differences off the top of my head.

In earlier Porsches, the engines were higher compression and used higher octane in europe and thus used a more aggressive map (timing) than the USA/Canada program. Therefore a performance advantage was gained. This is no longer true, at least on the Boxster.

I see, thanks for the info Todd!
