Thanks for your comments! the car is just wonderful! now I am kind of worried about the aftermarket software. Can Porsche certify a car like that? can my CPO warranty get denied later if something happens? is it safe to run 0.9 bar in a stock k16 car? thanks for your help!

She is home now, omg this car is so beautiful! I can believe I have a Turbo and the power is freaking insane
Something I found odd about the car is that the Boost goes all the way up to 0.9 - 0.8 bar when I press the gas hard, Isnt a stock k16 (non X-50) only supposed to get up to 0.6 - 0.7 bar? The CPO paperwork says that the car is stock.
BTW thanks to all of you for your advice and help!

Oh, did you do a PPI that included looking at over-revs and software mods?
Yes Porsche most certainly void coverage even if you didn't make the mod and even if you didn't abuse the car (ie if it was the prior owner).... the cpo inspection does not 'erase' prior bad history.

Still concerned
Than you guys so much for your advice/comments!!!
unfortunately I am still worried about the aftermarket software and my CPO warranty. I am going to have to writte a letter to the GM of the P-dealer tomorrow requesting something in writting that states that the car was modified before I got it and that my warraty will not be voided, otherwise I dont think I can keep the car, the car was sold to me as being 100% stock. I love the car and I want to keep it, hopefully they can send me something in writting.
Ryan: the price was $49.9k + tax, out the door it was $52.6xx

Or make them give you a discount~2k. But I agree, if it was advertised as 100% stock it should be. Granted, you may want to flash the ecu yourself in the future with a program of your choosing, but that should be your call when you're ready...and you will!

The value of a cpo is hard to fix. If you have no problems it isn't worth much, if you have a failure, well....
Personally I've taken the mod path and recognize the risk- I am comfortable with that. If YOU want a stock car, with a CPO you can rely on, you should get that.

PS It is really a simple matter to pull data from the DME to look for signs of modifications and evidence of over-revs that might lead to a future cpo denial...but dealers don't do it! Don't ask, don't tell...the future owner can deal with it!

awesome find congrats....with respect to your concerns about the possible engine software change, note if the boost level is sustained or if it just peaks of short duration. if the boost level is maintained at 0.9 or higher, then the engine software was modded, but if what you are seeing is just a peak, but the same is not sustainable, then your engine software is stock. i have a stock 03 and sometimes see peaks of 0.8 and once even a 0.9, but i can not maintain those levels during wot runs. i maintain peaks of 0.6 to 0.7.
