Kendog you are an interesting person.
Then you start the thread as one of us common owners.
You aggressively defend "tuners" and people slightly critical and then you disclose that you are shilling for them.
I know of what I speak, unlike your tunes which are obviously perfect, others have caused many problems, some immediately, some weeks or months later.
ebay has many resistors are used to double the Hp of Diesels and there are some also good tuners (my final comment re kendog)

I own an automotive repair shop. I specialize in BMW, but work on most makes & models. I have some Mercedes experience, but not a ton - hence my post looking for some insight from people with more experience than myself. Before I opened my shop, I used to work for TRM Tuning, who is one of the biggest BMW tuners in the country with MANY NASA, SCCA & club race wins under their belt, as well as extensive experience engineering for IMSA & PWC teams. I was a mechanic there, and work with them extensively now (I only run TRM software in any of my customers BMW's, for example). I know EXACTLY what I speak of, unlike yourself. I'm not 'shilling' for anybody - I'm speaking from years of experience with the performance aftermarket. Whens the last time you had a vehicle of yours tuned by an actual professional, and what was the experience?
Also, to add to that - my first engine swapped car is a '95 Volvo 960 wagon that I put an LS into. Yup, need custom tuning there too. Need to remove VATS, as well as some of the emissions devices from the software, and change other parameters. I used Brendan at LT1swap.com. The only mods to the engine were an LS6 cam and headers. Dyno'd the car after, and it's spot-on, AFR's are perfect, no CEL's, no limp modes or any other issues. Also used him for a custom tune on my truck when I upgraded to a newer PCM. I don't use 'resistors'. Thats ebay stuff, like for the people who use a resistor mod to lower the coolant temp the PCM sees. Garbage in = garbage out.
