    Hi there I'm new to this platform and learning as I go. Would anyone be willing to take a look at a tune revision? My 91 tune drives decent but the E30 tune bucks and hesitates under part throttle acceleration. My tuner said he was editing the wrong fields while tuning. So we started over on E30 tuning again. I'm a little gun shy now and would be happy to pay for someone's time to take a look at some tunes and datalogs. It's a FBO car with a 2.5 bottom end and cst4 turbo. We're tuning in versa tuner btw. Thanks!

    If your ashamed to say then you know they suck and that you need a different tuner before your motor gets blown up.

    Why would you go back to someone that edited the wrong fields and didn't catch it until you sent a log. You are extremely lucky your post isn't about being blown up

    Edit: no one is going to help you troubleshoot when the problem is clearly the tuner.

    I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment and give multiple chances. I am about ready to cut ties and work with another tuner. If I'd looked at this forum beforehand I wouldn't have picked who I'm using.

    If this tuner is dramatune then you've already given them too many chances especially based on your comments in this thread. freektune or purple drank are the only two tuners who we recommend around here. I cannot figure out for the life of me why some other ones have the following they do on Facebook / Reddit

    Thanks for the responses. Was looking at PD. Not sure if he's still doing versatuner, I'll have to reach out and check, it's not available on his website. Anyone have any feedback on Atenza?

    I think PD stopped using versatune could be wrong, freektune is still using it, I've been tuned by him for over a decade now Justin is just slower than will (PD) with revisions he'd busy racing I had no issue getting a revision a week from him

    PD tuned here as well.

    Will is awesome and will answer any questions you may have. Anyone who thinks he's a dick is a sensitive little butterfly in my opinion. Will can be very direct and matter of fact, with what some would whine is little patience. You have to realize this platform has been figured out and he probably gets the same stupid ass questions all the time.

    The guy understands and knows this platform and won't steer you wrong.

    Appreciate the response but I'm not sure Will tunes with versatuner anymore.
