I'm having ridiculous fuel consumption (19mpg, massive drop from stock 27mpg) and the whole engine rattles (the new "cam noise" maybe?) when I go past 3k rpm. Going to open ticket and ask for a proper tune.

OP, very sorry to hear about this!! I too have had a negative experience with John Visconti and luckily I've been in this industry my whole life and can tell when someone is full of shit. I called BS on the first conversation with him and I took my business to Tony at FA20Club. Call me a Fan Boy or whatever but his service is top notch, parts are great quality, and tunes are best of the best. I let NO ONE wrench on my cars (yea, I have a lift in my garage so I never have to deal with shady mechanics) but I trust him 100% with my toys and that speaks volumes.
When Visconti had his Flex Fuel thread going and going and people were waiting around for his release I politely told people in the thread that FA20Club already had a flex fuel kit available for months now. It's like I was talking to a wall cause I didn't get a single reply..hundreds of comments in the thread begging for a release date and I offered up another solution ready to go and his loyal followers didn't even look. Now there are countless stories of issues with Johns kit and even a car that caught on fire!! OP, I don't doubt that your comments will soon be deleted just as mine were. If you talk negatively about Visconti on these forums he cries to mods and they delete the posts. The issue is that you're being honest about your own personal dealings with a vendor, just as I was, but others won't get to see your story and inevitably will make the same mistakes. Hopefully the mods will leave this thread and others can share their personal experiences. I can't bash the guy for his dealings with others..just how he treated me in my personal interaction with him.

Honestly, dispute the charges and send it back. I know it's a hassle but you're never going to be satisfied at this point. If you have already decided to take a loss then maybe spending a little more $$ with Tony would be a good investment to get a proper tune. He never says "ehh..looks fine to me" when he receives a log.

Last post by John/Rich in the FF kit sale thread was 3 days ago...
That's right, Visconti Tuning is taking this fuel leak issue extremely seriously.... No instructions yet on how to install the upgrades.... Just awesome. I will state it again. Fuel leaks in the engine bay is a SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE and can cause your car to burn down in seconds. I have lost all respect for this company. You just don't play with people's lives. I still can't believe the upgrade to a leak-free proof kit costs $$$. Dude NEEDS to swallow his pride, bite the bullet, recognize the mistake and offer a free upgrade. It's the least you can do with such a serious issue and specially after this platform has made him big $$$

Of course he is, just give him time to re-arrange his legal structure so that he could just file for bankruptcy and dissolve his company if anybody tries to sue him for damages.
