Now with that said, the only tuner that EVER TOUCH this ECU to date is an MHP TUNER

ANDY be a man dude.. quit with all the B.S
If it worked so well the why did you switch tuners?
ANY QUESTIONS?
Again I will say, " Let a rapist be the judge at his own TRIAL? " (SEND THE ECU BACK TO SIR ANDY TO LOOK AT IT?) HOLY SHIZZIT I WOULD BE MORE OF AN IDIOT TO DO THAT , THAN I WAS TO SEND THE FIRST 4K
Welcome back Rick ! I could see that you started right where you left off .

After your experience with Andy there's now way you should even remotely think about sending your ECU back to him....screw that nonsense. Good luck with getting your refund back but at this point it just seems like it's not going to happen . It makes you wonder how people could stay in business with this type of service .

I see no refund in sight. There is NO WAY Sir Andy would ever have the ***** to just refund in good faith.. ( sorry, can I say *****? )

Here's a thought, if The tune worked as promised, I would have NEVER asked for a refund why would I ?

But we are clear now, RIGHT?
Andy gave me his tuners phone #

Rick - I'm doubting anything you have said...but can you please elaborate ?? What do you mean, "Andy gave me his tuners number" ??
Also, what is Andy talking about when he says you gave his tune to another (felon) tuner here onthe west coast ?

I'm confused....

I am sure RarF will chime in further but if its anything close to what Andy did on my end, what that means is hes washing his hands of it all and is basically saying, "you can call my tuner directly" He doesnt want to deal with him. I received the same line many many months ago when he was still working with Dave.

What I mean by Andy gave me his tuners # is , That andy, himself gave me the phone number to the guy that was working for him (MHP) to talk to him about what could have went wrong with the tuning.. So I called the Phone number that Andy (mhp) gave me, That's it So what the hell is he Talking about.. As for giving his tune to a Felon I have no idea? unless he is saying he is or was employing a Felon.. I hope this clears things up

Well said.. I don't want to get on suspension but if I owned my own Business That is how I would do things. Like if something was sold, lets say a car as-is no warranty and the tranny blew in a short time, I, if I owned the business would repair the trans at no cost to the buyer..
They will tell more people about how great you took care of them rather than about the trans going out..

Sounds a lot like advise for building a successful Marriage/relationship. Just substitute the word "customer" with the word "spouse".

Rick, sorry to hear you had problems very similar to mine and other MHP customers, you are one of my favorite MB World guys and you are a true enthusiast just like me. I don't come around here much anymore so I know I am a little late to this party. I finally came to the realization that all the headaches and heartaches over tunes and tuners was taking the fun out of my hobby, it just ain't worth it. I stopped asking for refunds, I stopped worrying about ECU dyno numbers and ECU dyno shootouts and just went out and enjoyed my car. I've recently reached new levels of performance both at the strip and on road courses with my car and having more fun than ever in the process.

22OS,
I love the first sentence in your post. Sometimes is about the principal and not the money. I had a blown engine and left messages for my ecu tuner powerchip. They never returned my calls and even had someone call me a few months ago to ask me to stop posting about my experience. I told that person to have the owners return my call and that they didn't have to accept blame but just say sorry it happened. Do you think I got a call? Haha

Rick post away. By the time you take ppl like that to court you will spend more in legal fees and not be able to collect. I decided that it cost me 30k so I'm charging 1k per post. Lol I ended up with a better tune like you did and learned the importance of researching my mod choices. Enjoy your car!

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you on this statement. You and I have had this conversation numerous times. We both know this is not what happen, you keep agreeing with me and yet you keep posting it again.

Please lets not go through this again.

Thanks, Vadim.

If its not the case then why not post your side of it instead of telling people NOT to post their side? If there is nothing to hide then put it out in the open. Otherwise you shouldn't try to keep people quiet. Put your side out there and let people judge for themselves

So we have come to this buddy huh? Vadim, People that know me on this forum know that I keep my word and keep my mouth shut when my friends ask me to, cause at the end of the day it's about my passion and the friendships I have built not about any sponsors on this board. I joined this board five years ago with a true passion for stomping the throttle to the floor and to learn from the members. I have no clue as to what you are talking about. I am far to classy to speak openly about your issues. If PC would like to start a thread and come on the board for the first time in two years and talk about what happened with pics I'm game. Frankly I'm kinda busy. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. I'm very happy and blessed in my life and don't give a rats ***. All these noobies on the board deserve more.
