Simple question that may have been over looked. Can you flash back and forth from OEM and Customized as many times as I want?

There are no limites to the number of times the ROM can be flashed with different files, beyond the limits of the chip itself, which is about 100 or so times before they become unstable. The limit you speak of is the number of times the security/immobilzer can be reset for different cars. Your ecu can only be reprogrammed to be switched to 6 different vehicles. Actually I think its 7...but whatever.

The reason I ask about how many times is due to the polution controls today here in california. How about detection by the smog inspection natzi's? Can the flash changes be detected?

The softronic software FVD uses is supposed to be undetectable by Porsche, Smog, and everybody else except Softronic who does PCA testing as well...
Even a PIWIS won't see it...
At least thats what Softronic says....

Do you have an exhaust? I strongly recommend it as well.

I just want to make sure I understand the original post. I can take my completely stock 996TT that makes 415hp and flash it with this program and it will make 490hp with no actual modifications other than the reprogramming?
