Durametric code reader
I am interested in purchasing a Durametric code reader for my 2000 Boxter S. Can anyone advise me as to which version to purchase.mi only have 1 Porsche and no plans for more.

Enthusiast version is fine. No downside.

^^^^^ As NewArt says ^^^^^^
Just about the best $350 spent - the first time I used it there was a pending MAF fault indicated. The car was still under OPC warranty & the dealer replaced the MAF, so the Durametric paid for itself immediately.
And great people to deal with.....

Will I be able to check camshaft deviations, my primary reason to purchase one? I already have a generic OBD2 reader.

Yes you will be able to do that. I do this regularly now and take a screenshot annually just to compare for any changes or fluctuations. This can help diagnose early IMS failures.

This is an awesome scanner and so much more. You can see EVERYTHING live and record it on your notebook for review after a drive. I've used mine to look at cam deviations, reset seat belt and air bag codes. It works really well.

Email them and ask about refurbished units. I saved $$ and got a looks-like-new set.
