I will post up all angles and impressions of the unit... i will be honest: I got an offer from them that brought the unit down with tax to 280$ so i figured why not?

If it will actually remap the car and I can at the touch of a button go from stock to remap then it might be worth it... the only thing is that I dont have direct access to a dyno and still need to install my 996 plenum and cayman/ 911 TB. I will try and get base line numbers before the "tune" as well as the butt dyno and the units dyno too.

But, I will be the guinea pig for the 986. I do know that our older ECU's are pretty simple to "tune"... I might have wasted $280 as this unit cant control o2 sensor levels, etc in case I want to run headers which other units can at the 600$ or so level.

Worth a shot?

No. Porsche has always used a totally proprietary logic system in their DME, which most OBD II scanners cannot even read.

Unless you have access to a chassis dyno you are playing with fire . First off it's the only way to know if ANY mods you do have helped or harmed the performance goal . Second and much more important you have to be able to monitor AFR's . Manufacturers/retailers will say anything to sell product ......... buyer beware .
