good luck!
Agreed on the over-revs, though the 9X6 DME only has two ranges and some cars have been found with errors. For instance, I had a 987 that had 1 (yes 1) range 6 but 0 range 5. Not only is 1 range 6 almost physically impossible, but getting to range 6 without registering a range 5 is most certainly impossible. The RPMs have to go through range 5 to get to range 6. For me, I wouldn't disqualify an otherwise nice car because of the over-rev report.

This should all be part of the basic DME scan that any good PPI should include, and you don't need any more than a laptop and Durametric software to run it.
