That should get you a free “get out of jail” card for tuning your 911.

As far as I know, Porsche does not evaluate the ECU for tunes every time a car goes into the dealership for service the way Audi does.

That being said, if your tune DID blow up the engine, then yeah its gonna be on you. Otherwise simply having a tune isn't enough to void a warranty.

My arrangement with the wife has always been, I choose the car, she chooses the colors. This "technically" is the wife's car, "technically" she drives it more than me. I only get to play on the weekends. But she's never gone out of normal mode when alone. So I am wondering.... if I could Stage 1 tune it, get that oomph, but she'll still be in normal mode, so she's none the wiser?

Its not that I cant tell her, but in the back of her mind it'll always be "I dont need that power, its too dangerous, is it safe for the engine etc." I'd rather just skip that. So the question is.....you all think she will notice?
