ECU Tune Gone Wrong!!! – FINAL PROOF
If your unfamiliar with the history of this thread please refer to the earlier thread “ECU Tune Gone Wrong”
My broken ECU (not Ramin’s) ECU was sent to Jeremy @ OE Tuning. It was verified that it was MY ECU with MY VIN. The ECU was photographed repaired and tuned by OE Tuning. Referring to original thread, this pretty much sums up and proves without a doubt the following:
- Looks like a tool damaged the resistor as the chip right next to it was clearly hit by the same tool on its way in.
- OE also verified that this ECU had my VIN in it and not (Ramins) as he claimed
- OE repaired this ECU and it is now working in my car. (And Running Strong I might add)
- My ECU was butchered on the exterior and interior by MHP. (He even put a MHP sticker inside… Maybe that’s why he claimed it was not mine and wanted it back.)
Pictures are worth a thousand words. If this is not my ECU then how did I get these pictures and WHY did it have my VIN in it and WHY does it now work in my car.
I REST MY CASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Note to the Moderators. I know you closed the first thread because of all the chaos. After this post I am done with this discussion and will not continue with any more of this for the well being of the forum.
Thank You

Damn. You have to get THAT far in there with a tool to crack open an ECU. That is crazy.
Pretty compelling evidence. I am sorry for what happened. Im glad you have a working ECU and a working car and hope you can somehow enjoy your new found power without any bitter taste in your mouth about it.

To OP, that's pretty solid evidence. Too bad it happened in the first place. For what its worth, your experienced just confirmed my decision to go local.

As I was about to comment on the last thread before it was locked: I'm not sure why 4ramin is so concerned about bickering over who has who's ECU. The way I see it both of you are victims of MHP's incompetence and lack of accountability. Had I been in ramin's shoes, I wouldn't even agree to be involved in a discussion with MHP and the person with his ECU. It's solely the fault of MHP to have mistakenly shipped my ECU to the wrong person and they should be their responsibility to get it back in the condition I sent without any effort from me. What ramin did in the last thread only took the blame off of the party responsible.
Regardless of who took who's ECU, how MHP conducted themselves is no way to run a business. As someone already said in the other thread, it's ultimately up to the business to satisfy the customers. Granted, I'm not saying the customers are right in every instances, but what happened with MHP doesn't seem like an isolated instance.

Good Lord - your ECU got RAPED!!!!
What in the hell kind of work is that? I just got mine tuned and thank God I decided to go with Velos Designwerks...I was about this far away (-) from going with MHP.
I clearly made the right choice.
Sorry to hear about your troubles boss, hope everything has worked itself out for you at the end of the day.

Well, according to ramin, MHP sent him money for a new ECU. He copy and pasted his paypal receipt from MHP and provided a picture of the invoice for the new ECU from the dealer. Why would he reimburse ramin but not immelman? I still feel there is something more to this story.
I still feel there is something more to this story. As much as I hate to say it, maybe ramin has been lied to as well. I cannot answer that. Only thing I know for sure is that it was my ECU that came back from MHP damaged.

You are right, there probably is more to it. Like what in the hell happend to ramins ECU.... Where is it?? As much as I hate to say it, maybe ramin has been lied to as well. I cannot answer that. Only thing I know for sure is that it was my ECU that came back from MHP damaged.

Can you post a video of you starting your vehicle with both ECU's? It was requested in the other thread but nothing came of it.

Well, I think the answer is right there in Ramen's signature.
