Environment is getting a little shameful around here...

I've decided to go F/I on my '05 Elise, not turbo but S/C'd. With that said, there's little choice as to different set-ups...mostly the BWR and the Sector111 Katana (I would love a Procharger or Rotrex but I'm not interested in re-inventing the wheel...the Lotus is not one of "those" cars for me). The tuning comes down to two different entities...PES and CharlieX.

When I examine the two different camps... Katana/CharlieX and BWR/PES, I notice two very different approaches to marketing. The one I notice more is often embroiled in "flames", debates, insults, and actions that lack integrity and class....mostly not even by the company themselves but the supporters and fanboys; sad, I've nothing against S111, I've bought several of their products and respect Shinoo for his work. And so here comes my rub... I will never purchase anything, knowingly, that is associated with Frank/Ronin or CharlieX. Shame that Charlie is pulled into this but when you sleep with dogs you awake with fleas, and you are certainly judged by the company you keep...the vague insinuations of his "help" he offers in the forums is also self-serving and indicative of a lack of integrity and poor taste. I will not support anyone like that.

Not a S/C tune? Is the motor a S/C motor? Do we run S/C fuel? Perhaps I should fill my tires with S/C air, as that may save my tires from phantom ills... Most N/A vehicles that are converted to F/I run on the N/A tunes. Is there an issue wit the N/A tune besides lower resolution? HOw much lower is the resolution? What are the downsides? You think that may be important info to share?

I've no benefit here, no stock or allegiance with anyone... it's just sickening to see the same rhetoric vomited out, over and over with the same fanboys jumping up in the background with mindless support.

Keep this garbage over on the rolling Ronin-stroking/Charlie-advertisement forum of MonkeyClowns and circle-jerks.

Be good,
TomK
