I flash it back to stock before taking the car into the dealer. It takes about five minutes to do. I carry the Cobb gear in the car along with things that I will need for other car purposes so it is there if you need to do this on the fly,

As ppl have mentioned, really depends on the dealer. Mine doesn't care, heck, they even sold as a CPO a Macan T that came with the Cobb AP and even advertised it as such!

I just picked up a 2017 S. Of course I would take more power but I really don’t want an extra 100 lb-ft @ 2700 rpm. I wish I could get a tune that only adds 40-50 lb-ft at peak but holds it for as long as it can.
BTW, I absolutely love this thing.

Just FYI it appears that Cobb has an OEM+ tune as well that mimics the GTS level of power in the S. You may want to consider that...?

I haven't dyno'd our car because it requires an AWD dyno and we don't have many here in our part of the world. I will see if we can try and make that happen over the next few months.

Curious as to performance numbers once your tune is done. In my case specifically, what numbers would someone be looking at, for example, for a 2018 Macan Turbo with ~15K miles on it.

They have something along those lines. I developed something similar for an S owner in Massachussetts that wanted the GTS power on his S and after a few swings at it, he's over the moon and loving it!
