Maybe. When you take it in for service next time ask. I am sure it is standard procedure for them to run it, just ask them to print you a copy. It was no big deal when I asked. In fact, they just did a screen capture (it is a computer you know) and emailed me

 

I am not sure many people here would understand why $300 inspection price is an issue if you do it for car you expect to buy.
To be exact, there are 2 PPIs dealer can do - short one and long one. Long one is $260 for 911s. Short one is cheaper.

 

well we already own the car. i think i'll just ask the dealer to run it for us next time it's serviced

 

Or buy this and do it yourself - http://www.durametric.com/

 

Lots of people shopping for cars, thought it would be good to bump this thread. Anybody know why the Porsche tech specialist was banned? Seemed to offer a rational explanation for the ranges, but it would be good to know if he was not a good source.

 

This provided some useful information that was mentioned in various posts put here consolidated into 1 video:

He's a good source.

 

Scott is still on here as a sponsor for Durametric. He retired his old Screen name. I don't know his new one, but he mentioned it on another thread while mentioning the durametric software he sells.

 

Softronic is his software product - Durametric is something else.

 

Where is the diagnostic port located on the car? Thinking of getting it for future use and maybe for car shopping as well.

 

wow, this seems like a bargain to buy the enthusiast version of the durametric software. Only $287. Here is the link.

Note that the 996 info in the video refers to only 2 ranges from the DME report. The 997 DME stores 6 ranges. Contrary to the previous readouts, you don't get to a range 2 overrev from a money shift. Too bad they don't offer any depth into the 6 ranges. Be sure to check earlier posts in this thread from the Porsche tech for more details on ranges 1-6.

 

Is something you 'HIT' every time you MASH the pedal in first gear when you have forced induction on your car(supercharger/turbo),LOL....
You CANNOT pull 2nd fast enough!

Type 1 over rev is NOTHING to worry about and means you are having fun with your car!
