Yeah, it does actually look kind of cool :thumbup: -
I believe both methods will do the same thing. I don't think you will be making a compromise either way (other than the fact that one way requires you to send in the ecu). Basically it comes down to the "installation" method. I will give you an example...I have had several turbo VW's and turbo Audi's flashed with tunes over the years. The last few times I have used APR (which the tunes are awesome BTW). Luckily I had a local APR authorized shop do the last one. I simply drove the car to that shop and they plugged their computer into the car, about 15 minutes later I was driving with the new tune and added power. The other option was for me was to mail away the ECU...same tune just a different install :)

I had not seen these diy flashes for the Cayenne before. Very interesting! The MyGenius says that it does NOT come with any flashes though and that it is married to one VIN. Has anyone gotten a price on the the flash itself? I am very seriously considering the Upsolute tune for Cayenne Turbo (you do have to send them the ECU though). I ran Upsolute on a highly modded (big turbo) Passat 1.8T several years ago and their tune worked VERY well. They are also priced a bit lower than the other tunes.

I'm going through the same thing...after several weeks of searching and studying I just put down a deposit on a 05 CTT. I found it in another state with all service documents/history including coolant pipes, coils replaced, rear hatch struts, among other things. I had an independent Porsche shop do a PPI on the truck which I HIGHLY recommend. I was able to find highly regarded independents in pretty much all the states/cities I found viable CTT's in by using this and other Porsche forums. My research has led me to believe that if you can find a nice one with services/regular issues taken care of you should be happy :) Again, I highly recommend doing a PPI even if the car is local to you...getting a green light form a well known/respected independent really gave me the confidence to pull the trigger even though I haven't even seen the car in person!! I know I could still have issues but at least I did all I could to avoid the common problems.
