Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
Pull up the carpeting behind the rear passenger seat and remove the ECU cover using 10mm socket.
Leading evidence: 'Use 10mm socket' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use 10mm socket' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello all,
Just picked up an '02 996 Turbo. Love the car so far and I'm excited to become an active member in this community.
My 911 has a few aftermarket goodies on it I am finding. I got it from a local dealer so I have no way to contact the original owner(s) to ask about what they put into it. But, I am noticing that it is boosting at 1.1 bar, which I am finding is a typical boost level if the ECU were flashed. Is there any way to tell what flash it has?
Here she is, in all her glory...
IIRC, most of the aftermarket flashes for both Turbo and NA raises redline. If you can go past the stock redline without the soft rev limiter kicking in(Type1), there's a good chance that you have a flash.
I've never tried to go past 7000 yet.
I'm pretty sure I have one. I can start the car without depressing the clutch (the clutch switch isn't bypassed) and I never ever get a CEL, and I hear the '99s commonly do for emissions crap.
Pull up the carpeting behind the rear passenger seat and remove the ECU cover using 10mm socket. Some aftermarket tuners will slap their decal either on the ECU cover or inside it.
Sorry for the late update here. The car is definitely redlining at 7krpm and boost is consistently 1.1 - 1.2 bar. I'm going to take it to the dyno here soon just to see the power output, but I think it's safe to say that it's flashed.
I'm going to try and find the previous owner. From what I understand the car has always been owned and serviced near me, so it shouldn't be too difficult.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
