Too lazy to read thread, but saw someone mention JB4. If you post a CSV in the thread of the issue I can check the JB4 side settings for you.
Stay Away From RFP Tuning (aka Dean Fuhriman)

Sad part is that word has been floating around for months that he had no clue What he's doing... I personally know a few tuners that he has pmd asking questions as to why cars arent running proper and blah blah blah but none of them want to help him because he came out of know where with his giant head an cocky attitude that he was the best and all those horrid DIY videos and telling everyone what they should do. Its about time someone called him out lol
Yesh! I want some spare blocks and heads for cheap!

Dude wtf don't blame him. It's the JB4s fault. Logging isn't working properly.
Replying to Dean (DaddyBoost), my car's boostleak has been fixed and tested for over a week now. The boostleak came from it being installed improperly from the mechanic I originally had install it back when it broke a long while back, it didn't start leaking until we started pushing it. (Caused by a faulty O ring and loose clamps on the coupler). You continued to tell me I had a boostleak after it was fixed, even after I got my vacuum lines & chargepipes pressure/smoke tested by the dealership.
Post a log you "accidentally" sent me yesterday and tell me that the car is running tip top. ALSO You just DID admit that the car had issues. YOU KEPT blowing couplers off during 4-5 revisions, Your car had issues on that "accidental" log too and its not even my tune.

That log was meant to be sent to myself, and I never said it was running tip top. It was the first log I did after flashing back to the stock BMS BEF and running the JB4 on Map 5.
But it looks like you have issues with the car EVEN ON OTS BEF. It would mean that accusations you made against me are plain ignorant because you are incompetent to see the issue.
Here is my latest map, running the same boost targets that you gave me, but with a new BEF from another tuner.

My log is 1 PSI off, which would of been fixed with FF. Dude you are really incompetent after all. It is very sad since you said "You blew my turbo up" So in the end you just caused mayhem for nothing. In response I uploaded all maps for free so people can tune their own stuff since new guys are looked down upon. LOL This is too funny. Do a multi gear pull 2-4 and see that maps will match within 1-1.5 psi with mine. I appreciate you posting the bin too, it is necessary to see for people that I am showing the facts and there is nothing up with the bin

Cool tune Bro. Sure thing ain't mine. Really nice timing and VERY healthy HPFP. HOWEVER, MY TUNE WAS BAD ? LOL. What a joke
The turbo had a rattling noise coming from it, and was also going into limp mode every-time I drove it. After I reflashed without your tune those issues went away. In the coming weeks I will more than likely have a tech look at the turbo to find out if it is damaged at all. As for the tune it's not a complete tune, just a slightly modified version of the BMS BEF's. Pretty much a base map if anything.
Maybe if you weren't such an asshole to your customers and others about everything people wouldn't hate you as much, btw.

Only thing I can say is once the issues were fixed the tuning process needed to start over from a base map or much earlier revision and fueling needs to be 100 percent accurate in order for someone to make a safe reliable tune. I am not saying I know anything about this tune or the customer or tuner. I am just generally pointing out that this was recipe for two unhappy parties and hopefully people reading this can learn from it. I use a very respected tuner and my car ran great for long time on ots. I took my car in for recall and it came back with a loose clamp during my early revisions . My tuner didn't point finger but said some thing was little weird and I started going OCD on car and found problem.
I didn't pay too much attention until someone made the comment that the maps looked a lot like my MHD OTS v6 maps that were released to the public two years ago when someone with a rooted phone hacked MHD. So tonight I did a comparison and sure enough, your overnight tuning wonder has been selling everyone slightly modified MHD OTS maps with changes he got from BMS or v8Baits tuning guide. So Dean @ RFP isn't much different than AJ @ EMP. Funny how a Dean was able to put together quality maps a few months after telling people he didn't like MHD because he didn't know how flash tune. Some of you guys might not care because you think he did a great job, great support, but you probably didn't have any major issues and the map worked out of the box, like an OTS map should. Unfortunately Dean really doesn't know what he's doing after all. The people who do have issues end up getting blocked so they can't message him anymore. Bottom line you guys were scammed into buying OTS maps with minor changes. It's like buying a used car at full book price only to find out it has a rebuilt title.
Unshocking to say the least. The second "DIY tuning" video he posted on FB was where he said he had no idea why it targeted such high boost, and considering the target boost was pegged at one specific PSI the whole pull everyone else should've realized he was phony too. While I wouldn't have guessed it was your map (I assumed edited versions of some freely released map tbh, not yours), I knew he was just fucking around with tables on something that already worked... and him claiming you guys "collaborated" now makes perfect sense
Thank you for looking through the map and giving us your tale on it. Originally I assumed whatever issues OP had with his car fell on him personally and not the tuner. He clearly was having mechanical issues that should have been solved way in advance before and upgrading took place. It's hard to tell if the issue was caused by malpractice from the tuner or if it was just OP's fault. Way too many variables to really hone in on what caused this issue so i did not like the initial blame of the tuner. I felt bad for the "tuner" that his name was getting tainted from a client that was blaming his own issues on him.
However, after your post, highlighting the similarities with RFP tunes and MHD, the "tuner" got what was coming to him. Anyone that takes data that is already there and re-brands it as his own, and charging people for it is not right. It is taking advantage of the community and giving a big middle finger to the people you are stating to help.
It seems pretty obvious that it was a scam just by looking at his Facebook page. He was asking for volunteers giving away free tunes just 5 months ago
