Use I.E. vs FireFox then it works.

Actually it did in my case also since I use Fire Fox, so I tried I.E. and it worked fine... So either Link or FireFox sucked balls....

I'd love to see some of the 'oblivious' people's reactions if they learned the entire truth and history. |

Yep... There's a sucker born every minute. Some companies count on that.

P.S. at the time when some of us "suckers" made a decision to go with JB3 (1.5 years ago) your tune if I recall correctly V2 had a lot of similar gaps (i.e. knock control CPS offsetting and etc.), however you've certainly made faster strides forward both technically and functionally vs BMS

G4 doesn't adjust timing or even drive boost solenoids directly. I think customer loyalty is nice when it's earned.

I think what has given people a bitter taste is in the threads where he was trying to trick vishnu into giving up information as to how the procede/N54 operates...then trying to implement them into his own gig. So in essence, Shiv kinda taught BMS the basics of the N54. One thing BMS DOES do right is 'market' and promote a product at an ultra low price. I'll admit, I bought the jB3 the 2nd day I onwed my car. If I had known then what I'd known now, things would obviously be different. Live and learn i guess. |

It seems like he makes a comment/point/opinion, you counter, he goes back to the drawing board, realize that you are correct, implement what you say while saying you're wrong on the forums, and then little do you know, he implements what you've been saying all along in a new product. The cost difference seems to be made up from the lack of RD for the JB3. Well, I might be a little wrong there. He probably spent some money on hardware to be able to investigate how the PROcede works to reverse engineer. Even with this engine failure, I don't expect that there will be many more engine failures to follow. It seems like many people are leasing their car, and when their lease expires, their car is returned to stock. No one is for certain what are the long term consequences of the tune; all that is known is that this engine can take quite a bit of knock before it goes. BTW, How many tuned miles does Terry's N54 have? You have around 50-60K that include all those dynos and runs on the track, right? |
