Keep in mind that you can personally do your own ecu flash with Softronic an dyou can go back to stock for a dealer service visit.
Also keep in mind and this can happen, if you car goes in for service and there is a ECU flash upgrade the dealer can and will flash the ECU back to stock. If this happens you are SOL with other company's but with Softronic you can re-flash the ECU.
As MichealL stated do your research and then go find out about Softronic and you will then see why I chose Softronic.

I don't work for Softtronic, but it is my understanding that the whole flash to new program/flash back to stock is transparent to the dealer.
You're using the port on the car (and your laptop) to do the flash, and not taking anything apart -- this is not to say other flashing cos don't do this, but, rather, that Softronic allows you to do this in your own home...

Considering all the different vendor can only improve the car so much i think the softronics being able to flash, unflash and reflash sounds like a great buy! I just need to research a little bit more on the other vendors but definitely softronics got the upper hand here. thanks everyone chiming in!

Here we go again!!! Got the Evo cold air intake on the way and was hoping for opinions on flashing my ecu. I know i know bout searching the thread but was hoping for some advice on first hand experience ppl. Lastly if you can refer me to anyone in the OC , LA, or SD area so if anything goes wrong i can resolve the problem and not have to fedex my ecu to another state. Thank you all in advance!!!

Plus also how Softronic work with the Porsche engine managment systems parameters if different than other company's. Softronic actaull has many flashed done depending on the mods you have done.

I just went with EVOMS after trying GIAC...I can tell an improvement based on improved throttle responsiveness with the EVOMS over the GIAC flash. Sharwerks in Fremont CA does all my work and they did a great job as always!
