I've had the OFT since last year and I love the results. Living in a snow state, I only have my BRZ out in the warm months, so I have only done a couple thousand mile with the tune in place. Recently my OFT developed a hardware problem, loose USB connector, and the guys at Vishnu were great getting it replaced for me.
I paired the new tablet and loaded the stage-1 auto generated file. After about a week I started to get RPM dip while idling and it threw a CEL+TL and went in to limp mode. The Code was P000A, "camshaft slow response bank A". I cleared the code, loaded the latest OTS from the website v2.067 Stage-1, 93-oct. Within 15 miles it threw the CEL again.
I flashed back to factory and after two weeks and a few hundred miles, no CEL. Is there something that can be changed in the Stage-1 OTS tune that can eliminate my problem and the cam/timing codes and keep the car from going into limp mode?
I'd hate to have to sell my OFT and go without.

I think you have an actual hardware problem with the camshaft actuators on your car rarther than a tune issue.
The tune may show up the issue as it likely excersises the cam actuators more then the stock tune..ie asks them to move quicker or more often
Hundreds of people run same tune without that issue.
if you were running the old V1.5 x tunes they were more agressive cam timing wise than the V2.06 tunes, but heaps of people ran that version with no issues as well.
hopefully that code will pop up on stock tune and you can get dealer to sort it out.
Also check you oil levels as the cam actuatours are driven by oil pressure.
