I'd agree that a Cobb tune, especially on a non-turbo car, is pretty safe and unlikely to cause problems. If/when they develop a CA-legal tune for my 992 Turbo, I will be mighty tempted....Bill in Bama wrote: Mon Oct 31, 2022 8:13 am I heard from my PCA club president, he says the Porsche backing for Cobb tunes is only for cars/customers bought through Porsche Exclusive, which sounds kind of elitist to me, but I know virtually nothing about Porsche Exclusive. Seems a good lawyer could punch some big holes in a warranty denial based on that, if evidence could be uncovered. He also says the Cobb tune is the one Porsche has extreme confidence in.
That said, having read the published warranty terms for the US market, a Cobb tune would only be covered by the factory warranty if Porsche authorized it in writing as contemplated in that warranty. For the most part, what's in writing would control the issue if Porsche opted to challenge a claim.
(p.s., in other words, assurances from dealers, tuners, people in know, etc. should all be taken with a grain of salt unless they can point to Porsche's written approval.)
