One of the main reasons I don't touch them is the industry that is around them and how the are modded.
It's easy to make more than they should but it's called living on the knock sensor and falling fuel pressure with pumps running out of flow. The owners don't know any better and the tuners should know better.

It's why I don't tune them either unless specifically asked by someone I know. I cannot compete with people offering "330bhp" conversions. I have just done a couple of runs and filmed them showing the difference between strapped properly and not.
