sub'd would like to know full details. How does one know or trust if this is a finalized file or just a base file of some sort. He's been tuning me for a year now with a couple of different set ups and gas types and looks like he knows what he's doing... I trust James and never had an issue with anything. Always helped me out and did what he could.

 

not having anything wrong with the car does not mean the tune was good...
you can get an operation and they leave a scalpel inside you and you will be fine
... well for the most part.

 

Ill post my tune when I get home to my computer. It was looked at by numerous other people and no one had anything wrong to say with it. It's people who get a base tune and say oh I'm having issues. Well no crap it's a base file to log with.

 

Interesting?

 

Well pretty much not surprised at this thread.. lol ive seen some decent tunes from him. But also some very wacky ones that i would never pay money for... let alone trust the work over all as in this business it does not matter if you have tuned 1000 cars once one blows and it's the tuners fault then your reputation goes buh bye! .. but hey some people like ticking time bombs they dont have the code to disarm... makes life interesting as you never know when your going to blow and end up paying the same guy more $$$ to help work on your car!

 

life in the fast lane =p

 

That's with any tune lol. Everyone always has something to say about James. But how many cars has zzp blown up? And how many has James? Once again if zzp blew up 2 a day it's the owners fault not zzp.

 

Yup. James always took care of me. Even went above and beyond. he tune me under 50k and I'm now at 105k. 0 issues on both turbos. That's dragging, road coursing, highway pulls, canyon runs. That's my experience.

 

Need that panda tune. I got this.

 

My point exactly. I dogged my car worse than probably anyone here and 0 and I mean 0 issues. No knock or anything and I logged my car hundreds of times

 

You guys just don't get it.

 

Ya cuz ur tune might not have had enough timing to cause issues or make alot of power. There's a fine line there.

 

I ran a 12.8 @112 on street tires. No power at all.

 

didnt the other post got locked , the ones with pics of his tunes? >_<

 

Didnt take long lol

 

What didn't take long

 

ryan. what you don't see is the whole crap load of them that have been done by him and resulted in lost engines.

 

Who's lost engines to a tune from James? Because ill call bs on this James doesn't turn off the misfire codes.

 

He might be banned on here, but he's always on Facebook fighting with people lol

 

Yeah, I was lurking on here last night before I posted this... Brian, I know you and me have not always seen eye to eye on everything, but I think you know me well enough to know I would not post something like this if I was not concerned for people's cars/engines. I know there will be people to back him up, and there will also be nutswingers in here eventually... Fact is, this is what I pulled out of a car... People need to be made aware. For all I know James could be the nicest guy in the world with the best customer service, but fact is, after looking at this file, it is evident he has no clue what the hell he is doing when is comes to PCM tuning... "Base" tune... Give me a fu<king break.....

On a side note, everything going good in KC?

 

Wow that wg table is awful you cannot crank the duty cycle like that at lower desired boost levels it causes surge issues which cause the drivability to suffer badly. Those DALs make the car like a light switch although some customers want the car to hit super aggressive like that. Was the MALT table smooth or was it just cranked up? How were the other WG tables?

 

Care to email it to me so I can look at it?

 

Term, driveability is the reason the guy brought it to me. It would surge/buck during light loads/normal driving. The MALT was ramped up down low, and the other tables were wither left stock or ramped high on the top end to try to hold boost. What really pissed the customer off was when I showed him the compare file and all the DTCs were set to disable... All the misfire codes, some EVAP, and quite a few others that should not have been messed with. This tune was also commanding a .84 PE...

I can send it to you when I get home.... At the day job right now.... YAY

 

Yeah james will tune them richer than that normally 0.80 lambda on some tunes of his I have seen. I mean no one is perfect but come on that wg table you posted is awful.

 

Ill be home about 2 or 3 I worked nights so when I get a chance I will. Ill send logs to. I had no issues and it ran way better than we expected.
