How certain are you though that Softronic actually developed the flash client. I won't get into details... but...

Certain enough that it is correct. The flash client was developed by two people and one of which is the owner of Softronic.

I wouldn't say sub par as many companies use Softronic for their mapping, you should ask Markski about Softronic. An intake leak or non meter air will also cause the car to run rich and the most noticable at Idle. This will then cause the AFR's to be off , timing indirectly as the fueling is not correct and other fault codes etc.

This is not the first time that this has been done.. It just took us a while to put the pieces of the puzzle together and make it more of a streamlined procedure. There are dozens of cars out there that have used the procedure in the past, but they used a Porsche single row bearing with a spacer that makes up the difference in bearing width.

We certainly take no credit in finding the puller that allows this to be a reality, (that credit goes to Scott Slauson) but we are taking it a step further by having a specially designed bearing made that is more robust and more resistant to wear than the stock 10 dollar bearing that Porsche used in this position.

There are risks associated with the procedure, but I took those risks with one of our test cars that has a 40K mile engine installed without even blinking an eye.

Only time will tell, we will be pulling these bearings in test cars at some intervals to inspect them for wear and etc and also we'll be monitoring used oil samples to see if any new materials show up in the short or long term..

My car will be back on the road on Monday that has this bearing mod, I decided to pull it down for an intake cam enhancement while we were at it and had the tranny out and now feel confident that I'll be making much more respectable numbers as well :-)

Hello Jake,

While I thank you for the credit for the puller I have been replacing these for several years and not with a single row roller or what L&N is selling. This information was all given to Wayne R. Dempsey CEO, Pelican Parts Inc who has apparently given it out to L&N etc. This and other information was specifically told to Wayne D in confidentiality until the release of his latest book as most of it was considered proprietary. This was to be then released with a kit that I would offer at a very good price and done more for the community. This kit would be at a fraction of the price that L&N is selling them for .

Should anyone have further questions please contact me at the email that I have used in the PCA for years Marine351@aol.com .

Many Porsche enthusiasts should know me from the PCA, Softronic ,PCNA or many Technical Bulletins.

Best Regards,

Scott Slauson
