Talking to Boosted Tech on the phone made me want to jump off a bridge.
I actually hung up on them the first few times I called cause I thought I was getting an automated answering system but it's just the way he talks. And any time I would ask a question there would be a long pause, then a one word response that wasn't even related to the question I asked, then another long pause, then a different topic. It was very odd. I'm an air traffic controller by trade, I'm pretty good at picking up on odd communications, foreign languages, weird responses, etc. I'm usually in control of the conversation. They're like from a different planet or something. Just bizarre. And I'm pretty sure I talked to the same guy every time but he would always act like I'd talked to somebody else. It was bad enough I decided not to use their support or tuning services at all. I've still been chasing a couple issues, the Jeep was erratic between open and closed loop, so I'm running in open loop all the time now and it cuts fuel above 95% throttle maybe 10% of the time.
Aaaaanyway, I Just got a new map sensor and injectors this week, tossing those in and tuning the PCM directly and ditching the Split Second. I've also got a wideband and boost gauge with analog feeds into an HPTuner ProLink so I can do full data logging. I've learned a whole lot about tuning in this whole process, and the NGC PCMs are not an overly simple beast.
The physical quality of the kit and machining is great, however.
