Does nobody remember powerchip?!? ...I've been reading all of these wonderful "BPM Tune" reviews and they sound like fake/paid review plants you see on Amazon for a questionable product! Seriously, look at the sentence structure. To me, they seem like they were written by the same guy with questionable grammar!
Are there reliable/independent dyno's some you NA tune guys can share of a before & after? Preferably done on the same day? I drank the GIAC tune cool-aid back when I had my 08, to put it bluntly, the power gains were bullshit and I felt scammed out of $800. I think they screwed with the electronic throttle response more than anything else to make the car seem more jumpy...similar to running with the power button on. I recall that the factory 240E software showed solid #'s that outperformed all the "NA" tunes of the time...until the 240E software "was in turn tuned".
Someone do a before & after dyno and debunk or prove the NA tune myth ...strap the car down to an independent dyno, get a baseline run, flash...and see the results. Or post up the results if they are already out there. all the "tunes" when it was introduced. Yes, I get that it's nice to remove the cold start but that's not a "tune".

My first thought was the same, but I do think these reviews are legitimate. I get what you are saying though - I would actually believe the raves more if I saw a few "meh" reviews. It's hard to believe there is not a single unhappy customer or even a blasé one out there.
