The thing is, none of those people knew they had bad tunes. So knowing this happens to people regularly makes me feel like I can't force induct and or tune my car without rolling the dice. Spending $600+(tune) to roll the dice of $23,000 and up car + $5000 and up forced induction kit? People must be rolling in money to trust a tuner with their motor. Especially after spending that $5,000+ on a turbo or supercharger.

I'm really interested in force induction but I just can't see how people can invest all that money into their motor with the chance that the tuner is going to screw up and pop their motor..

Interested in what you guys have to say about this

You have to build a reationship with your car and your tuner. Know your tuners limits and your engines limits. That's why I will only have Delicious Tuning touch my car's tune. If you go to his website and see the list of clients he has had you will see why I choose them. It's no secret I push my car hard but I also maintain my car to the highest level. Tuning isnt voodoo its applied knowledge.
