This looks like an awesome deal!
I had my rev limiter left at the stock level for that concern.

Perhaps Rhonda could weigh in on this issue of whether the flashes can be detected by the dealer. I'm also curious whether it would pass the regular Calif emissions test or whether it would have to be re-flashed to stock before the test. As the test is done with no load of the engine I doubt there would be a significant difference in emissions performance. With those issues resolved I'd have to given this great deal serious consideration.

i sent Rhonda email yesterday asking her this specific question for my 07 TT tip--- their marketing says can be returned to stock file w/o dealer being able to detect that ECU was previously flashed- I've also heard that dealer can tell if ECU has been flashed previously & returned to stock. i've a yr + left on CPO & want to be 100% sure- Valentine deal seems like a great buy & i'm
about ready to commit, after response from FVD.

This is very tempting! I have Fidelity extended warranty - anyone have any experience how it might affect their coverage?

This is their graph on the left and my actual graph on the rt, 466whp, a bone stock 997 turbo lays down about 390whp.
Sorry, only image I have. One could always buy it now and upload it later....after your warranty is out.

If you live in Texas; you can test drive my car! After the test; I'm betting you would go for it.

Thanks, you have stock exhausts and the difference is still noticeable?

Rhonda, I am very interested and Im local (to you). I'd rather bring it into your shop instead of downloading, emailing, waiting and downloading and uploading files...

Yes yes and yes. Regardless of flashing back to stock. The dealer may not have the capability through PIWIS. If you have a catastrophic failure that should be covered by warranty, bet your *** that the ECU will be thoroughly analyzed.

As far as Smog you're fine, I'm running a 93 tune with tubi exhaust, just passed smog 4-5 months ago.
