When the twins hit the market Vishnu dropped the BMW crowd and left us with unfinished beta maps. I hope this is not what's happening again. They produce good hardware and their tunes are by and large excellent, but their customer service leaves to be desired. As soon as Cobb cracked the BMW ecu, almost everyone jumped onto that ship.

damn, now i'm actually worried. Ecutek seems awesome but a whole lot more expensive and a hassle to deal with if you have a custom tune but had to drop one part, you'd have to retune again.

I've never dealt with tuning cars aside from using a piggy back on my BMW 330i and OFT, are we basically getting what we're paying for? By that I mean
we're paying less and getting "less" in a sense.
