From their website :

"When your engine is running lean, it is allowing more fuel than air in the air/fuel mixture."

You trust your brand new A4 which you paid at minimum 30k for to a company who supposedly does engine ECU tuning, but doesn't understand what lean burn is -- or at least is too careless to have it correct on their website?

LOL, like I said before it is too good to be true. I just wanted to see if anyone here have used them before. I will never buy a product that have not been tested by real people.

Holy crap. That's pretty bad. Actually, really bad. Um, yeah, I'd stay the hell away from that one. If you're looking for a reputable ECU tuner for VAG forced-induction engines, just search around the various forums (if you haven't done so already). Ther are some great tuners out there. It takes a brain and some engineering to produce a proper and reliable tune. Obvisouly, that company has neither.
