I'll just put it out there. I'm not happy with ANY of the tuning options currently available for our cars. They're all just piggybacks and while some do show considerable performance gains it very rarely if ever transfers to results on the road.

well i dont know, about that, a lot of people seem pleased with their piggybacks. besides, for some its awesome to have a tune with 4 maps and you can drive the car stock and have several poweroutputs, and then go back to stock completely just by shutting the car off. no?

That all sounds great but from what I have seen and experienced myself is that even with the piggybacks that produce even the most massive power gains, on the road the times they are putting down aren't that massively improved at all.specially from 0-60 and the 1/4 mile times. I'll admit is not all the tune's fault. Our cars do have some trouble transferring all of their power to the road.anyways it didn't take more than a couple of weeks for me to decide to sell mine. I'm still waiting for a proper ECU reflash, but my patience is wearing thin and hope is running low.

I am not sure a full ECU tune will ever happen. I am pretty happy with the power my car makes with the BMS tune as it put down 614hp to the wheel at +4lbs over stock. I am kinda surprised you took yours off Twitch, you must have really not liked it huh?

I did come across this which was passed to me by a local (non euro) tuner in my town. I have not contacted them to find out more info but from the email string I was forwarded it seems these guys are out of India.

Not that I didn't like it. It's just that I wasn't putting the power to good use. On the highway my pulls didn't feel overwhelmingly different. I would probably not have gotten to enjoy it properly unless I was hitting the dragstrip regularly. I was also stupid enough to not remove the entire thing before a routine service and my dealership saw the harness in the engine bay and gave me some minor shit about it so I treaded on the cautious side and removed it.
