Azrael, The problems your "friend" is experiencing are down to
mapping and nothing else.
I have responded to all emails and questions from him and step by step
he is sorting out the problems with his map.


ECU's ARE complicated products and the S8 is much simplified when compared
with others but still require a level of skill, understanding and experience
when setting them up.


It is unfair of you to blame me for "others" inability to understand how to map
and configure an ecu or failure to understand how engines actually work.


If it was that easy Stu and other tuners would be out of a job.

At the end of the day, no matter who's ecu you use or no matter how much it
costs, it will ONLY be as good as the person tuning it and also how much
time and effort someone is prepared to put in to it.

Most people only think about the full load power mapping but there
are many other parameters needed for example cold start etc...

For your info, the S8 EEC4 plug and play version is actually nearly ready for sale.
It is not available yet due to it being tested in the real world at present
by a WELL KNOWN respected tuning company.
Once they and I am happy with its performance it will be sold - not until then.

It is a shame that not everyone understands the amount of work that actually goes
into a product like these in terms of development.
It is NOT a five minute job.
