This is the reason I am going to wait to get protuned and see who in my area is doing it well before I take a risk and jump in.
The Cobb OST Stg1 tune isnt amazing but it also isnt going to break anything either. I am happy with it until a prominent tuner pops up that I feel comfortable using.
I have a free e-tune with Freek that im going to try at some point. They are reputable just not with VW's yet.
I'm on the same boat as you. I'm just going to wait. I dont' want to be a tuners guinea pig for VW.
But I would love to see what Freek can do. The Cobb OTS feels good but pulls timing quite a bit, too much for my liking. MAP OTS has been good to me so far.
