5 months ago I got a tune from Toni after i've gotten my fa20club Cai and nameless downpipe/overpipe, nameless axel back installed. I never got it dyno but my car seriously felt no different after the flash and Toni can really make a rookie car tuner feel like an idiot. Partly because I deserve it but now my car's gas meter is always off. Sometimes it says full, or empty random times of of the day when I drive my car. When it says empty for a while I would go fill up and it would only fill 15$.

I would ask Toni for help but I figured it's pointless because he would probably tell me it's my fault. So instead I'm waiting to buy the nameless header and getting a re-tune from someone else. That's my 2cents for Toni
So... did you send logs back? Did you talk to Toni? Toni doesn't do "cobb" style tuning where you plug in an access port and BAM you make power. Toni afaik typically takes a car thats simliar to your mod list, enrichens slightly (*COUGH* you can lose power from this as its a basemap, as you should for a basemap!), and awaits you to send logs in for him to do adjustments.

Did you contact him on the fuel level issue? I know one member had that issue locally with me. I have not asked her if she still has the issues but I haven't heard anything from her after she had Toni dyno tuner her car so I "assume" that her car is just fine. I will text her tomorrow and check (as it is quite late here!).

I like me some beer. Drive your ass up here for the tech day! I am pretty sure we havent met yet!

I am here to learn, it is really difficult with ~10 informative posts out of ~100 (posts from shiv, rombin, arghx7, mad_sb, toni) but every thing else filled with utter crap.
ITT:

New guy registers and pays his fee for being a vendor.
New guy on purpose and or accidentally bashes another vendor when they both provide different services all together (hardware + base map vs actual tuner who providers custom tuning).
Thread spirals out a bit.
Accused vendor speaks up in single post, and then asks others to chime in
Others chime in with their experience.

This thread... is what it should be based off of the first post. The first post indicated it was a pissing contest between vendors and this has stayed 100% on topic. If the OP disagree's IMO this should be locked and he can start a fresh thread that is not stabbing at someone who has a good reputation in our community.

Usually he is pretty quick about it. My suggestion would be to send another email with the logs and say "hey it had been a few days, my car runs a little rough and I am a tad worried can you look at it?" Send it to info@fa20club instead if you aren't already. Toni has been pretty busy as of late so keeping the email short helps. I talked to him this afternoon and he seemed pretty tied up with a few projects (actually wrenching vs sitting in front a computer updating tunes!).
