I don't see an e-tune as having any problem at all.

'professional restraint' (I guess that's the best term I can think of). I'd still choose him over a possibly inexperienced tuning on the platform and be willing to give up bleeding edge power for your setup for a tune that is a good marriage of performance and powertrain-saving. If remote dyno tuning isn't an option, or is cost prohibitive. and he's very supportive to the community. I've never really heard anything but good things about him. That may be the most expensive option as I assume you'd have to pay both him and the shop itself. I think he offers remote dyno tuning if the shop you go to supports. I do think the opportunity to maximize power better presents themselves by having a dyno to see how the cars is reacting to that last pound of boost and degree of timing. especially when you're trying to tune a car with an undersized turbo for your power goals, which is what we have stock. There are strategies in finding the right marriage between boost and timing. a lot of it was information outside of these forums. I've read extensively on the subject prior to touching anything. While I am not a tuner and have done little more than tweak maps and then see how fuel trims and k/cont responds. I see no way to be able to see feedback from etuning datalogs as to whether changes affect power/torque. I think an e-tune would be better than using a tuner w/a dyno inexperienced on the platform.
