If the second shop retuned it, how do you know how the Broadfoot tune was actually running? You have the claims of the second shop but it is their tune that is running poorly.
Am I missing something here or do I have the details mixed up?

The billet mount was manufactured by Tial and designed by a Rennlister. Broadfoot just sells them.

I bought a used tec3 here in rennlist (one of his kits) about a year and a half ago. I bought a few missin pieces and paid a little bit for support, then put it all on the shelf. Fast forward to 3 days ago Friday. I called him, ready to fire up my 3.3l motor with the tec3 installed. Chris had a tune in my hands sun night. Car fired up tonight with minimal tweeking. Very happy

+1 For years Broadfoot has been known as a place not to do business with. I'm really surprised your son chose them! When you put in "Broadfoot Racing" in google the first thing that pops up is "buyer beware" followed by a few more down below.

For some reason the folks on the Facebook 951 page are still mostly backing Broadfoot blindly due to their presence on there. It reminds me why I left that group...not sure why I rejoined.

Yes I too have had my disappointments with timely delivery. However I got products of unique design and quality. While expressing my frustration in person with another long term customer I came around to his more reasoned and effective outlook. He said it is a matter of setting your own expectations of the cost not only in money but also in time for the quality of the product eventually received. For example, if you want a new motor you don't wait until your current motor is blown, you order a spare a year in advance. As a result I have multiple spares of custom pieces and thus don't expect instant turn around from this high quality, high demand, limited capability source. This reduces both my stress and his. It also means that he might rather work on my items rather than some others. This is mere supposition on my part...
In my experience it is always better to value and expect performance from someone for what they are good at if you can manage around the frustrations by setting appropriate expectations. In some cases that is simply not possible. It's a judgement call. We are each our own judge.

What goes behind the scene though should remain a problem between said characters and anyone is welcome to not buy into anything that is posted... which is probably why you rejoined
