So it's not the absolutely ridiculous tuning approach that no legitimate engine tuner would ever adopt or recommend. But rather a failed injector?
When StartupJunkie's AR brake line split on him at the end of a 125mph 1/4 mile pass, neither of us were quick to blame anyone. Because we both knew that no one intentionally design an faulty brake line. It was just a fluke. And sh%t happens. We were just happy no one got hurt. And it didn't stop either of us from ordering more lines from you.
But in the case of the JB3, you have a completely inadequate tune. One that is promoted to be a "max power" tune capable of supporting methanol and (gasp) nitrous. Yet it simply ignores 1 out of 3 ingredients that even the most basic tunes should have. That, my friend, is marketing. Not the stuff I'm saying. Everything I'm saying here is supported by basic engine theory.
I know BMS sells your parts but you can't honestly tell me that simply raising boost on a turbo engine will no regard for output (AFR, ignition timing, engine temp, etc,) is anything close to a sound approach. Does it work well enough for most people who have never tried a proper tune? Yes sure. But that doesn't make it any less incomplete than it is. Because engines will fail. Sure it may take some rough operating conditions as enrita and sevak have shown. But even their failures can be avoided by using a tune that conformed to basic tuning principles that even the most n00bish tuner learns at this first day on the job.
