I have had my Boxster since new and do a lot of the DIY stuff. I had a code that was a pain to chase down and have no doubt the Durametric would have pointed me to the problem a lot quicker than it took me to find it; it was a bad MAF.
But, from all of the posting I have read and looked at how all of the data is displayed, it appears there is a ton of data that is extremely hard to decipher.

+ 1 ....LOL
I also have the Durametric, but unfortunately I don't know how to read many of it's functions.
Perhaps we need to spend more time playing with it to learn to use it properly...?

Perhaps
More of the experienced members could chip in comments and techniques. Do we need a Durametric Tips and Tricks section ???

YES I would absolutely love that. I have one but don't know what 75% of the data means. It would be nice to know just what every name on the data page means.

Tommy, after reading your message and the ones below I feel much better, knowing that I am not alone.. ha.
A Durametric Tech. Section would be very helpful for the rookies like myself :-)

I ordered a new Durametric Pro version last fall....only because that was the only version they had left in stock, otherwise the Enthusiast would have been fine.
I haven't had a chance to use it yet but did some searching and came across a link that some may find useful.
Durametric Logging 101: How to Log, What to Log, and What to do with it Afterwards - 6SpeedOnline - Porsche Forum and Luxury Car Resource
I can't verify the accuracy of the info as I haven't tried it yet and it is a few years old, but might be interesting reading for some of us.
