Looking at buying a 996 X-50 equipped car in the next week. Thinking about shipping it up to Sharkwerks and doing a tune, possibly the evo 600 hp package. Any thoughts and experiences with this tuner and package?
Would do exhaust - Can't decide on which one yet, want a sound as close to the 997.2 GT3, but I understand 7k rpm vs 8.5krpm is a big difference, plus the silencing effect of the turbo's
Intake
Hitachi Maf
Upgraded Diverter Valves and Boost hoses
Evomsit tune
Car would not ever be "tracked", would just use the hp to mess around my the guy down the streets Audi 5.2 Spider on long straight roads.

Don't want to hi-jack this thread but a question on the same subject. If you have a non-Porsche tune on your ECU, can you pull that information from the memory and how do you do that? Will it show sufficient information so you can identity the tuner that provided the tune as well as the version / release / ID / serials number??
I also understand that, if you take your car to a Porsche dealership and they hook you up to the "brain" it will automatically "reset" your tune to the latest Porsche tune for your car. Is that correct?
So if that is all true... how do you make sure you do not lose your tune (and as such the money you invested in that 3th party upgrade) every time you drop your car off at the Porsche dealership??.
Just curious.
