Here is the answer to your question about whether the programming will work on a UK spec car. I believe the answer is yes.

All our programming is not only vehicle specific but country specific as well, just as the factory programming is. NOT ALL PROGRAMMING IS THE SAME WORLD WIDE! There is programming for LEV vehicles (USA), Europe (EU3), Germany (EU3/D4), Japan, Australia and (M 150) vehicles (countries with leaded fuel) as in UAE, Dominican Republic, so on. Software can not be the same world wide as US Vehicles have emissions components and sensors to comply with LEV standards, components such as tank venting and carbon canisters- and an M 150 vehicle has no catalytic monitoring from the factory- cant be the same programming.

Softronic Flashing
While Softronic offers Companies the capabilities to flash Porsche's via the OBD port we DO NOT supply any of them with tuning files. These files are company specific and may or may not be detectable by Porsche. None of Softronic's files are to be confused with any other company.

I am new to 996 tt. I am from Argentina, and here Customs Taxes are very high. Because of this is that I am planing on doing my exhaust here. Also here we do not have much trouble with laws about ecology, so we take our cats out. The question is the following: If I buy your system, can you send me a file for a catless 996TT in order to do not have cels? How much will it cost me? THANKS!!

In response to questions:
Does your programming advance the number of programming operations or “counter”?
When you load our tuned software it does not advance the “counter” as seen on the dealer PWIS tester in the DME C.U. under vehicle data. This is also true when the file is flashed back to stock with our software as the number is also not advanced. Some vehicle recall campaigns require a reprogram of the ECU performed at the dealer using the stock MAP files stored in the PWIS tester. This reprogram advances the counter one digit and is only an indication of the number of times the programming has been overwritten. The counter gives no indication as to whether it was a tuner or a dealer who performed the last programming operation and is not all that Porsche would look at to see if an ECU has been modified by a tuner. Even though the number of programming operations hasn’t changed, anytime there is a warranty claim submitted to Porsche for an engine or emissions fault (Check Engine Light), a vehicle analysis log is generated and submitted for review with the claim. This is an extended read out of the DME, all faults stored in the control unit as well as detailed information about the ECU. All Porsche has to do is dig a little deeper under the surface of the DME and look at certain values in the coding to tell if it has been modified. It just depends on how deep they want to dig to find what they need. We do ensure whatever programming we extract gets put back bit by bit exactly as if programmed at the factory.

I am very interested in this product! However, I'm still not quite clear on the above question/answer, and am hoping you guys can clarify!
Does the above mean that if a Porsche dealer were to dig deep enough, they could tell that the car had been flash tuned, even if the *original* stock program was reloaded prior to them looking at the car? Or does the above pertain to the situation where the dealer is looking at a car currently running the modified tune?
And also, I am wondering do you have any customers in Australia using your software/system on 996TTs?
Thanks in advance,

Mark/Flo,
I will be installing zero clearance k16/k24 hyrbid turbos on my car shortly along with a 5 bar FPR. I am looking for a software for the turbos. I currently have a stage 2 GIAC program with my OEM k16 along with the following performance mods:
- Caragraphic Loud Exhaust with 100 cell cats
- EVO V-Flow Intake
- GT2 Intercoolers
- Ported & Polished OEM Headers
- Billet Diverters
I would also like to get a 100 octane race file along with the Stage 4 programming. Is that something you guys offer as well? So how long after I download the programming that I have will I receive the customized programming for my new set-up?
