Default OW (German tuner) performance chip for 997 GTS chip- anyone install this?

Just wondering if a RL member has any info on the mod.
This link is to a Google Translate version of the .de webpage.

Claim is: 408hp@ 7300rpm to 440hp@ 7200 / 420Nm@ 4200rpm to 450Nm@ 7150rpm



I would buy 32hp for $708 USD, in a heartbeat.
(The price is 40% off regular $1180 USD, good until Feb 2, 2021)
No affiliation.

Sharkwerks quote on 997 (coupe) ECU installation:
"...the ECU is attached to a tray behind the back seats, and is generally blocked by the Bose subwoofer system which also has to be removed. The process takes about 15-30 minutes or less."

I have never seen a dyno chart that has that many linear sections and a mod that results in a complete mirroring of the original but is higher everywhere. I call BS on that dyno graph.

Look up 997. 2 dyno graphs and see if they even have that shape. I know 997.1 ones do not.

Edit - here's a what the shape of a legitimate 997.2 dyno chart looks like and how mods effect the stock vs modified lines

Yeah I'm pretty sceptical you'd get that much jam out of a tune on these cars. Porsche didn't leave much on the table. You may see that by going full bolt one plus a tune though...

Thanks.
As usual, if it looks too good to be true...

Here is a 997.2 dyno chart from Sharkwerks (center muffler delete):



@msequence, please provide more info on your statement:
