Wouldn't flashing it to RoW spec yield more ponies? :chicken:

is flashing to ROW going to net you a similar change as if you just flash with some of the aftermarket ECU software???

i haven't researched it much but I know there are companies that claim to have hi performance engine flashes for the boxsters.... you might get similar benefits... if the ROW flash simply has removed a lot of the US emission stuff, and other restrictions....

both options may get you the same result??? not sure which is better or cheaper... jsut a thought...

From the information I gather it only disables the oxygen sensor check, therefore it will not light up check engine light if you don't have them on the car.

from what I understand it also does not throw a check engine light if you have some slight miss fires and small things like that. I would like to know if I have a problem with anything asap. I was going to do the rest of the world flash when I had my ecu done for my 3.4 but we talked about it and decided on keeping what we got here. Some one look into that more. Todd knows all about it. I don't see him around here no more though?
