just got back my car a few days ago, it was at the dealer for a total of 108 days.
Took a while since its the first GT3 in Saudi that needed a topend, car seems fine but I havent done any high revs as I am waiting to pass 1000 KMs after the top end before high revving.
Will know the outcome in a few days

They will only do it if they have to, which would be due to scored cylinders. Evidently yours wasn't at that point yet.

what is Porsche telling you guys for break in? I have high oil usage and they are saying it's because my motor is not fully broken in yet, that takes until 6200 miles. I've got just over 4200 on my new motor.

Hmm, 2 things.
1-PDK have clutches too, they are called 'dual clutch' for a reason. Just because there is no clutch paddle doesn't mean it has a solid connection.
2-ECU knows exactly what rpm from one gear matches to another gear, there is no guessing like from a human driver on manual cars. Plus, the ECU controls EVERYTHING, it can change timing, cut firing, etc to help with decreasing the rpm on shifts.

With the manual that isnt true. The next gear in the pdk is rotating at a set rpm which is equal too the gear before it. Thats a mechanical affect having nothing to do with the ecu. The engine is forced to a lower rpm instantly upon taking the next gear.
Granted there are other pdk equipment car out there without any problems. My Macan has a pdk and also shifts the same way. Add rpms to the mix an all else can change.
Next time your out with your car take note of the situation. See how fast the rpms fall between shift. Its so fast that the engine seems to literally bind up. That certainly cant be good for a rotating mass to come to a halt that quickly. Something is absorbing the impact.

I know that a pdk has clutches. The speed at which a pdk and manual shift is very different. Pdk has 2 banks of gears odd and even. All the gears are mechanically spinning due to a dual clutch setup.
With the manual that isnt true. The next gear in the pdk is rotating at a set rpm which is equal too the gear before it. Thats a mechanical affect having nothing to do with the ecu. The engine is forced to a lower rpm instantly upon taking the next gear.

If your car is a 2015 I guess it ought to be F.

Does this mean that my 2014-car already has a 2015-engine?

You did realise that 6200 miles is 10000 KM so not a "random out of a$$" number - still sounds way too high a mileage for bedding in rings, surely they are bed in by 1000 miles ?
