I built and tuned a custom turbo setup on a 2008 Scion XB that made 240/240 whp/tq, raced it often and daily drove it for over 40k miles. Logging and reading ECUTek log files would not pose the slightest challenge for me.
The simple fact is that I didn't want to do that tedious crap anymore. I had hoped that I could trust a good tuner to do what I paid him to do without having to second guess him. Since I'm now being told that no tuner can be trusted and that it's necessary to double-check their work, I will give that advice due consideration.
Thanks.

Very good to know you are not new to tuning and have some good experience. I would think that with your years of experience you would know that tune quality are like almost everything in life, you need to trust but verify (and I think you already knew that, its just that you thought it being a dyno tune, it would be 1000% done, no need to do anything else and in the end you might have been absolutely right).
You don't even need to own an ECUtek cable. You can try and source a local one and log a few runs, see what they look like and if you like what you see then there's nothing to worry about, your initial assumptions would then have been correct.
