For that you will need to go to a dealer and the costs to get the factory tools is more than all but the largest shops working on LOTS of late model Porsches can afford. I do think shops with Autologic tools may be able to flash your ECU to stock 996 code. There are a few shops that I know of with Autologic tools. Even those end up costing $40k once fully outfitted. Have you checked with the good Porsche shops and asked what they would recommend? I got a couple of calls this week from shops asking if I could do this, probably in regards to your car. I declined as I have just starting playing with Porsches.
IMO, noone in the Front Range is going to be able to do a custom tune for you if that is what you are looking for. They can get a tune from their suppliers, but they don't do it in-house. There aren't many places in the country that can do that. I have done this kind of stuff with Audis and VWs, but there is a much larger market for those, especially for software tuning and engine swaps.

Thanks for the input.
I'm not looking for a custom tune, just a generic performance or even just stock 996 3.4L would be fine. I'm not looking for any guarantee of workmanship just need to do the one thing I can't do myself. I'll be reaching out to a dealer to get my immobilizer codes. Maybe I can get them to try the stock 996 flash if I don't expect them to guarantee it.
