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.

You are stating a loaded question to your "ask any other tuner" comment. While yes, in general tuning theory, it's correct. But the thing is, the DME is not any other DME either. As you said, it's got surprisingly good built-in safety mechanisms, almost like BMW knew what they were doing with engine management. And while most of us are learning about tuning, you don't exactly lead the class. You seem more interested in hyping yourself and product then educating the community.
