Eugen, check your mail!

damn, nothing like jumping into the deep end of the forum pool head first. You got balls kid.

Sorry but you do seem to be a Fan-Boy. It's obvious when you make statements like this: I'm not a "fanboy" of Shiv. I am a very satisfied customer of the PROcede and let you know that you can't go wrong with the product. I mean come on now, you've got a picture of a PROcede in your sig.

It depends on what you mean by "can't go wrong" also. Many folks have had limp mode issues directly related to the PROcede. Some have had issues related to questions about having installed a Piggyback at the time of warranty service/repair. Several folks have sold their PROcede because they didn't like the time it takes to install and uninstall for service visits.

Does any of this make it a bad product? Not at all, but it isn't perfect and for you to say "you can't go wrong with the product" agains points out your biased view which is why you were called (accurately IMHO) a Fan-Boy.

BTW Terry, I'm all for you selling your product but why don't you work on getting the T-Map connectors? That would certainly go further to suggest that your Tuner (I agree you should change the name by the way, TT was already taken) is in fact working in the same way as the competition.

I'm afraid if I used the tmap connectors the turbo tuner guys will accuse me of "ripping them off", this way sets my product apart a little. Actually having done it both ways I sort of prefer this method, believe it or not. It's harder for things to go wrong, and makes the install somewhat hidden.

As for name, I also agree. I'll come up with something if I reach an agreement to become a forum vendor.

PS. I'm getting closer on v2, which will need DME access anyway for the o2 sensor signals. I have control over fuel but found some unintended side effects in testing. Nothing few more resistors, diodes, and ics can't fix.

In this country, people in general always want someone else to take that responsibility for them, and then they want to be able to sue when they didn't anticipate what should have been expected (think the McDonald's coffee suit). This is utter and complete rubbish.

It's called Caveat Emptor...Buyer Beware

As long as Terry is being up front about what his unit will and won't do, what he will and won't guarantee, and what development work was done to arrive at the final product, then it's up to each consumer to decide for him/herself if the benefits outweigh the risks. If everybody does this, the market will decide if Terry knows what he's doing or not.

There are no sure things. Everything in life has a failure rate. As they say: "you pays yer money, and you takes yer chances..."

Or you could see if you can find a carrier who will provide liability insurance. Either way, you've got to take all business expenses into account before setting a price, unless you intend to sell below cost and make it up on volume.

Carlito doesn't like sarcasm. He cussed me out once because of my weird sense of humor.

Slandering? Seems like he's only stating the obvious and is looking out for our best interests.

Leave the Slandering to Terry...he seems to be an EXPERT at that.
