Is this incident isolated to a certain brand? Or do all the companies source springs from the same place and they sent out a bunch of incorrect batches of springs?

Just took my car out for the first test drive after installing the A-Tune and I must say everything looks PERFECT! The car is more responsive and smoother than it has ever been by far! AFR's looks spot on. In the 3 mile loop around my neighborhood I would usually see about twenty on the knock counter (never under boost), this trip a count of one! I tried to get it to knock but could not. I am going to take my car on a longer trip tomorrow and then the dyno Thursday.

But if you're going from a MAF that doesn't send a true MAF code to the DME, to a reprogrammable chip set that uses 3D timing and fuel maps, better closed loop operation, and a DME that now understands boost, are you really any further than before?...
The piggyback setup looks like a band aid fix compared to Rogue's technology. (No offense to any vendor using piggybacks...) Rogue is making improvements from the core, then working out to the MAF, not the other way around.

I must admit it was hard to take the MAF off. My car has very mild mods and therefore I knew flow should not be a major concern with the AFM. I think with SOME MAF setups the transfer function is so massively different from what the DME expects that the PB has a very difficult if not impossible job.
