We will see about that. Engine's are rather simple and very well understood objects that have been around for a very long time now. It's not exactly difficult to learn and come to your own conclusions as you are hopefully data logging and reviewing your own logs yourself to see how your car is running.

I got to know Eugene through of all people, "cupcakez" and have had a multiple phone conversations with him. He is a super nice guy and extremely knowledgeable. If Seb wasn't tuning my car, Eugene would be. Eugene know's that and completely understands. He never tried to pressure me into tuning my car. My car has been tuned by Seb ever since I went boosted. My car gets put on his dyno (no remote tuning) and returned to me running perfectly. Any questions I've had for Seb by phone or email have been answered promptly and explained in as much detail as I want. He also does full speed density tunes if needed. From what I understand some cars do require a full speed density tune when running a vta bov. Subaru happens to be one of them. Mitsubishi evo's also. The Z and GTR both don't need full speed density. My car(s) have been running a hybrid tune since 2017 and they both ran perfectly. When my car goes in for tune here shortly with my new upgrades, I'll see if Seb want's to go to full sd.

This is as waste of my time. I am not going to sit here and try to explain anything to you. You already know it all.

I know you're being a little arrogant, but yes, I generally do know enough as the basics are pretty simple. While my car has been beat on almost daily for the last 50,000 miles with zero problems if one ever does occur I have enough common sense to not blame the tune because of reaching mechanical limits. I took the time to learn and understand so I can verify that my car is operating as safely as it can, but there is always going to be a limit to how much abuse a mechanical device can take, no matter what "tune" is operating it.

I don't think you quite understand that I have ZERO issue with Sebastian, I very much like him and I think he's one of the greatest tuners for the VQs with incredible experience and reputation. I just simply preferred the customer service and support that was offered by Eugene more and that's just my opinion, take it how you will. But your apparent misguided views of "If you get a tune by anyone other than Sebastian your engine will blow up" is so hilariously wrong.

Did I say that? Noop. My tune is from someone else. The guy above has a twin turbo car. You better damn well know the limits. Seb does. Eugene does not. Seb has years of experience and has seen many things. That is what you want. The tuning is the easier part.

With all due respect, that is a very subjective opinion. Eugene has tuned over 100 boosted VQs and has not had a single one fail. He is actually tuning the fastest G37 currently (22 psi stock block) and has yet to have any problems.

Also, check who TopGunz recommends as a tuner for his latest SC kits. That will tell you a lot.

The cupcakez situation is definitely not tune related, one can easily figure that one out by reading the hundreds of posts.
