Who's 997 tt was this

Hey guys! I bought this 2007 997TT last year from Marshall's in Ohio and I'm trying to find out what tune if any is in the car before I pay to put one in, the car seems to be really fast off the line but my Boost seems stock, I'm thinking their is only a stage 1 tune in the car? But I'm not sure,
So if anyone recognizes this car some info would be well appreciated,
Some info on the car: 2007 TT with 14000 miles, Fabspeed intakes and exhaust, yellow stitching, triptronic, also it has a built in Radar, like I said I bought it from Marshall's last year in Ohio, and they won't give me any info on the previous owner for privacy reasons, see pics below thanks all!

Go to CARFAX.com, you can get the background report there, the only thing is that you have to pay about $35 to get it.

Carfax won't help at this point. Won't have any info on tune. Seems like the only way to know for sure is to have a specialty shop check the ECU for you. Or...the previous owner shows up on the board as requested.

Nice color though! Yellow Porsche is bold...always thought about it never pulled the trigger!

I know dealers are reluctant to give out previous owner info but I asked a dealer once to have previous owner contact me and that worked - some dealers might accommodate that request.

Yeah I tried that! the dealer didn't want to get involved or just lazy? I was hoping the previous owner or someone that knows the car would see this, when porsche did the PPI they didn't think their was a tune, but everyone I race seems to think they have turbo leaks after I smoke them in a 1/4 mile so either their is a tune or I got that rare one lol

why don't you email the big tuners (softronic, proto, giac, cobb, etc..) your vin# and have them check to see if it's in their database. If it isn't in the list of the big tuners, you probably don't want whatever tune is on the car anyway, if there is one to begin with.

Very nice looking car, and I hope you connect with the previous owner. I have a suggestion for you, however. The Fabspeed intakes look and sound nice, but they are really robbing you of power. They are sort of a gimmick and tend to suck in hot engine compartment air which is not a good thing. The OEM airbox is designed well and seals to the lid so it is always pulling in outside air - one thing that Porsche did right, and aftermarket has not yet improved upon it. If you find the last owner, ask if he still has the original air box

When I bought mine they wouldn't tell me the previous owner for the same reason. I looked in the phone book and it had one entry, so I called and left a VM to call me back if he was the previous owner. I got a call shortly after and he confirmed that the car did not have a ECU flash on it.

So check the phone book in the car, you never know
