If you wish to promote your business over Awesome and put across on here how much more worthy you are then please go ahead, but like i said if you wish to discuss it further rather than from behind a screen both Jim and i are free to talk as we are for any customer too.
Mark,
Seeing as you seem to want to elevate this into something more personal....?? As thats how it reads from my perspective seeing Your Written words here..
You now suggest my post is "promote your business over Awesome" To QUOTE you...
You are WRONG! - Nope... You reading it thru your "eyes" not from my "words" Mark
I am saying what I do, and the reasons I "have" to do such checks....... Old cars, many of them have issues.
The ones you see will be NO DIFFERENT to the ones I see. So if you choose not to do equivalent checks during your "install a map" process there is a Clear and Obvious Difference in approaches between Badger5 and Awesome GTi .
Thats not promoting my business over and above Awesome GTi.... Its distinguishing a fundermental Process difference in approach. One is more thorough than the other.
Folks reading this, and those who do the actual tuning hands on, will know fully where I am coming from.
I have no beef with Awesome, you nor Jim... However, the facts and statements describing my process shows clear diferences.
Customers will decide which approach they are more comfortable with.. To make that Clear to you Mark, thats not a dig at you/jim/Awesome. ITs applicable to ANY and ALL other tuners of vag's, 1.8t's in particular.... Most dont do the tests I do. Thats not singling anyone out..
If you remember where/how this thread started and what it was based upon apparent and perceived missing test steps (by others who posted before me). What you described as an Awesome GTi reply, imho falls short of what should be done to be thorough. Yes it takes me longer to do what I do than do what you do. Customers appreciate the extra checks and effort I believe. Its not something to ignore. You will do what you do, I will do what I do... We Both have our customer base and fan base - lol. On the matters here, we shall have to agree to disagree I'm afraid if you believe your process is as good as it can be (and thats not the same as saying "as good as its costed to be!" )
We all know APR code is sound, and well written generic code. The 10+year old 1.8t's they are installed upon however are not as well... They are old, cantancerous things, with 10+ year old wear and tear and common issues... Good code on worn out car does not make for good performance or reliability remember.
Makes for some debate.
No hard feelings Mark/Awsome
