Offering AND recommending a tune to run high boost without any form of ignition tuning/knock monitoring is negligent. If you disagree, it's due to lack of experience/knowledge. The only reason that BMS has gotten away with it so far is because these motors are stronger than expected, built-in safety mechanisms surprisingly good and customers reasonably clueless about tuning.

Ask any other tuner, in any field, if doubling the boost with a boost controller is a sound tuning approach. And tell them that you are keeping octane and dme ignition advance targets unchanged. And listen to what they say. So tires that this is a "tuner debate" when it shouldn't even be a debate at all.

And yes, Sevak is seeking monetary rebursement from BMS. Rightfully so. If he gets what he is asking for, don't expect him to explain what happened. And don't expect him to keep his car.
