I got curious and asked a bud to visit B&G where Andy was having the ECUs tuned. There seems to be a lot more to the story than what has been posted.

Has anyone spoken with Andy lately? I've been trying to reach Dave Kasper (B&G) with no luck.

Um, have you tried calling Dave? (586) 758-2003 ext. 201. He'll answer the phone. Pretty easy.

He seems to know what he's doing. At least with his speciality, Chrysler/Mopar stuff. Esp SRT8s.

ps, I'm talking Dave here, not Andy of course. Andy doesn't do anything, afaik.

Fun little addendum to my story. So I at least got my money back but when sending the ECU off to LET to have them work on it. They took off the cover to discover that the ECU had just been HAMMERED with solder or some other resin to prevent someone pulling the chip and stealing their precious software.

It literally was near useless as I was having trouble with the ECU since the MHP flash of death and we had to pull the chip to get into the unit.

They said they had never seen SO much solder/resin on a chip in their life.

MHP, the gift that just keeps on giving. So put me down for a fresh 2K for an ECU that I am now out thanks to MHP.

Waybe still working on it.......who knows.

I hate to hear these kind of stories. You got burned for a grip, but MHP's rep is burned for a lifetime.

I can't believe I missed this thread..... Rick, I'm terribly sorry you had to go through this ordeal.... you're one of the nicest and most stand-up guys on the forum, and it's very unfortunate that this has happened to you

I don't mean to open up old wounds, but did you ever get back the money from the supercharger project or is that still out as well?

That's what I am trying to figure out but Rick mentions his post being deleted for mentioning what he does for a living. I can only think bashing MHP is advertising for them by just mentioning them or he said what he does for a living and where since it involves selling cars. So should I not mention where I got my car from or where I service it or even ask for a place to service it? They are not sponsors and I wouldn't want to get someone in trouble for answering my question? I don't like walking on egg shells and clearly Rick has to for no reason IMO. What's a forum for if you can't openly discuss things and help each other out?

I got the money back in less than 24 hours and will be receiving some forms to fill out soon. My dispute was for a charge made thru paypal to a seller that could not deliver. Chase handled everything.
ZOMG! Someone editted my post too! Man, the douches at the Honda forums have more respect than this..and this is a MB forum. Sheesh!

Looks to me there are two sides to this story. The driven site has a little more of the both sides. To me, the challenge on the track would settle the accusations pretty easily. MIR or Miami? Which will it be?
FWIW, even though I am new to this site, looks to me like there are a lot of "pile onners". I like to see both sides of a story before making an opinion of my own. But, thats just me.

Hey Andy...how is it going? Okay....... dumb question.

I hope you get things worked out because this is just bad press regardless of whether you are right or wrong. I saw your post on AD but it is a bit difficult to understand what transpired. No resolution can be had?

lol, you are new! mhp HAS sent his tunes to the track...and for the most part they've failed miserably on any platform other than the easy to tune c63.

the "pile onners" as you call them are the ones that have been around long enough to see all the trouble and scams that mhp has unleashed since their introduction to the world of amg. if you really want to see both sides of the story, there's enough info on this site alone for you to have a few days worth of reading. i think a search may be in order.

btw, the driven site has nothing more than andy's same ol' song and dance routine after he gets outed and him arguing with himself via cut-n-paste.
