Long story short, picked up my N18 JCW about a month ago, drove it with JB+ on, it's ok, but it can be better, so I research and read...a lot and from all accessible info.
I am looking for something that gives me more get up and go in every gear, especially on the low end ( I know torque = engine displacement, but I will take whatever I can
get out of that 1.6L) and reliability. The only tune provided on NAM and other sites with the most reliability and positive reviews are from MarioKart:

Like typical yelp or amazon reviews for other products, I look for # of positive reviews, and read through the whole write-ups in depth. I also focus on the negative ones, can't find one.
So, I dig deeper, reached out to several prior local and distant owners had tunes performed by him. All provided extensive positive reviews in great details about the tune and customer
service from beginning to the end. Ok, this is all good, but, my car is a daily driver, I can't mail the ECU to Cali and back from 2-3 days, gotta work and pay bills.

Then I just found out he's gonna be in town on Sep 8th to do tuning in person in Pittown, NJ, an hour and 15 mins from Philly, NYC and about 30 mins from Allentown, PA! Woohoo!

I am not a friend or paid mouth piece for Mario, but I will be a customer, I will be getting a dp, cold plugs and tune from him, hopefully a happy one, after the tune.
I am just spreading the words in case anyone is thinking about the same without the hassle of mailing ECUs.

Even though I don't live by 0-60, 1/4 mile at a time or go big or go home kinda guy, he also entertains the high octane high output crowd.
Reach out to him in advance, and you will see what I mean!
