Not reinventing the wheel. Just making ourselves a Porsche car (instead of a DOT restricted vehicle).

My wife used to like the car before... she hates it now To each their own!
I am all for it. My boxster has a 996 3.4 engine, headers, a full exhaust....I love making a porsche drive like a real porsche.

What I am against is using tuning the ecu as a bandaid to fix an existing problem. Hesitation on a stock engine is a fuel metering or vacuum issue, and needs to be resolved before any further modifications...and most likely the air flow meter
