Many pages to review - but curious to see if I tune my 992.1 S and the restore to original in event of warranty claim, will Porsche Europe be able to detect if it's been tuned before?
Does the restoration to the original tune wipe the history of tuning parameters (i.e increased turbo PSI etc)?
Same thing for the counter - will it show up as non-tuned, non-modified car?

Porsche can always see it if needed. Not because the calibration or flash counter but the max power and torque values the car has been regularly subjected to with a tune. Even things like implausible acceleration for conditions, incline etc.

- yes, the tune will void warranty if the issue can be caused by the tune.
- yes. if they want they can detect a tune regardless, if engine failure leads to warranty claim they likely send all images or even the entire ECU to Germany.
- yes, it does restore the ID's and shows up as non-tuned on a first look, but a closer look still allows them to detect it was tuned.

I tried searching and reading all 17 pages but didn’t exclusively see it mentioned (possible I missed it). Whats the “idle fix for certain exhausts” for? What are the symptoms that need this? Just curious.

I asked Scott about this and it refers to fully customized setups. It doesn’t apply to 99% of setups.
