You'd have to have a tune configured based from a 512mb OE file. I've had luck starting with a 5.2.2 BMW file, then building my tune tables off that.

Been there, and done that.
I've been looking for a 996 911 ECU online and noticed my boxsters Porsche part number is identical to the 996 ECU's I've found (996.618.601.04). Is there a bosch number or other indicator of whether or not it's a 5.2.2 vs a 7.2?
