Posche diagnostic tools, the PIWIS, can "force" an I/M Readiness reset, which by-the-by is illegal as it subverts both state and federal emission protocols. Sooner or later the shop doing this is going to be told by their legal advisors that they can be fined, and in some states even imprisoned, for doing exactly that as it constitutes a felony nor unlike the one VW got nailed for some time back over emissions system defeat.
If you brought the car into my shop and told me what you wanted, I would tell you to take it elsewhere; no shop worth its salt is going to continue put itself into legal jeopardy just to get you back on the road. And no, the Durametric cannot do the I/M Readiness forced reset, and neither can most other systems priced below about $10-12K.
When you bought the car, you knew it was a complex performance vehicle, which was not inexpensive to buy, own, or maintain. Either get the vehicle properly repaired or sell it at a loss to someone willing to make the proper repairs.
