Makes sense. If I get a spare ECU, it's actually for reasons other than warranty protection.
I was just thinking about 2 situations; just thinking ahead, perhaps it won't be necessary:
1. If something goes wrong, some warning lights, this would save me a lot of headache to be able to pop in the original one.
2. If there is something I don't like about the new flash, comparison to stock would confirm the findings for me.

I have a couple of other questions for you please:
I have heard of people asking for "custom" tuning. What are the typical case scenarios that a "custom" tune is necessary?
Do your customers mostly have just the standard EVOMSit tune?

Thanks again Alex. Like I said, it's a good thing I don't live close to you; I bet your shop is a constant source of temptations for Porsche owners.

So if you're going to do that use the "new" ECU as your programed one if that makes sense?
2)Absolutely. Easy as pie and takes about 15 mins on a Coupe to swap.
3)You can although if that's something that's important I would keep your stock ECU un-touched and get a second ECU that's tuned. Make sense
