[QUOTE="StevenStarke, post: 13642418, member: 127727"] To all of the people whining about the tune: From what I read, AED is a great tuner and real good at tuning over the net. People keep chiming with comments about their cars running fine with AED tunes. Yes, most of your cars have Bolt ons and e-mail tunes are no issue. For the record, i did PM AED, and he was not willing to tune the car over e-mail being that it was turbo, which is completely understandable. JPC doesn't do e-mail tunes on turbo cars either. It's probably for reasons JUST LIKE THIS. Because when something goes around, everyone wants to point their finger at the tuner. I work at a performance shop and we tune 5-8 cars a week (mostly hondas). Its the same thing here, for some reason, the tuner is automatically MARRIED to every car they touch. That's not the case. My car had a weird issue. It would be rich and safe but then only on a repeated pull in 4th or 5th would it lean out. I had a very casual conversation with Steve where he thought that maybe my wideband sensor was off and/or just being delayed. We weren't sure. But in that convo he DID SAY "BUT DON'T BEAT ON IT, LETS GET THE REVISIONS DONE". BBR goes out on a limb tuning these cars through e-mail. That doesn't make them 150% responsible if something goes wrong. They suggested I take it easy on the car. It's a BASE MAP, START UP FILE, whatever you want to call it. It's not meant to be beat on. I've said this in numerous threads already. Now that the car is at JPC, and they're putting a boss motor in, it makes sense for them to tune it on the spot, because tuning on the spot is better than tuning through e-mail (when possible). I didn't make this thread or post pics to bash BBR in any way. I can't speak for other peoples' experiences with them. But I can't blame them for what happened. I was gambling with this on a stock motor already and then further risked it by beating on it on a base map when they said not to. Plain and simple. [/QUOTE]
