I wish Neil could respond because he has the best understanding of the
programming and talks to the programmer regularily. This guy does some
very interesting racing programs for PSI Motorsport race team and many
other people. I know he has helped a couple of very well known Porsche
"tuner/distributors" that are on this board regularily. I am talking about
"bailing out" and helping where other programs have failed. I, like Sharkey,
have very little understanding of the programming and I can only tell you
my 480 kit is very torquey-strong! and holds 1.0 througout rev range, no dips, cels, or anything.

And that's only the 480, wonder what would happen to the 550 kit.

The PSI story is not correct, Rob CS, if you are making this kind of claims, you better have proof as you are hurting a very respectable business reputation. They had a split between some partners in summer, that's all. Unless this has happened very very recently, which I doubt.
About the safety of PSI tuning, the same, PSI is a very respectable company that has great products. They also have decent racing experience that not many, if any, here can claim, and they have a state of the art dyno that many excellent tuning houses and teams use in Europe.
Comparing them to a Manthey or RS Tuning however is ridiculous, but that does not mean that PSI does not have excellent programs, and maybe I personally would not favour GIAC to any of them, or the other way around, they are both good, each in a different way.
This dyno chart does not do justice to them (PSI), then again I have seen GIAC dynos looking just as bad n the past with no control over the wastegates. As far as breaking engines, something other than a 480 kit must have broken that engine obviously, and just to be fair to all, I have also seen GIAC chips boosting to 1.6 Bars to get the performance of others at 1.2 Bar, that cannot be very safe, can it? Or the 2 Bars for the GT900 program (AFAIK)?
I have a lot of friends here and I am not trying to pi$$ everyone off, just making sure that we do not see misinformation and unfounded talk being spread around by ones and others, I don't care whether they are GIAC dealers or PSI dealers, or whatever.
Neil's issue is a separate story, as is the 969 speedaddy one.

Thank you Jean, I concurr 99%. Let us all keep our heads, please.
I, like many am shopping my second round of tuning mods so I am
looking for facts (and opinions if someone actually owns a product),
if not please substantiate your claims.

Marty, I would stay put for a while by the time this clears up, could be that the US program has some flaws, as seems to be the case from the dyno chart, why risk it? Also, it would have been great to hear from PSI Belgium themselves, I am sure that by now they are aware that their US business is being put under the microscope. I am not sure they have the international scale to realize how quickly their business can disappear from the continent if they don't act.

Good post Stephen, and I concur 100% with your analysis. PSI seems to have overestimated their ability to go international and manage from a distance. It is a typical mistale many do, they learn from it, and either give up , or come back with better tools. We'll see what's next.
