How are the EQT OTS / base Accessport tunes?

This was just posted by Patrick (the other EQT tuner) on the EQT FB page for those who aren't members. At least they caught it now..

Oof. That sucks for everyone, us and them. It means after 5 days of processing orders, we're back to day 1 essentially. They have 5 days of wasted work, and now everyone else has to wait close to an additional week to get their updates. Shit sucks, but it's hardly the end of the world.

It sure does. But I give Patrick from EQT a lot of credit. He could have made up a story but in typical EQT fashion he owned up to his mistake and probably feels pretty stupid. EQT is a hell of a company. Can't wait to get my remote dyno tune from them.

Kudos to patrick for sure. Guys getting their tune updates at 3AM etc. You know he's been working his butt off, I feel bad for him, probably one small little oversight that anyone could make and now he has to start over basically.

Got all excited that my AP shipped today. Oh well. It happens. Cool he owned it like a big boy.

Edit: Got the update from Patrick at 12:55 AM his time. I know he wants it off of his plate but great customer support regardless.

Yeah, Ed already informed the public that Patrick got a proper (albeit slightly degraded by social distancing) lashing. I am quite the impatient type, but Patrick was sending out the files 'till pretty late at night. Even despite the DV fix being absent from the file I got, driveability is improved and overall feel is already better.

Patrick was definately burning the midnight oil getting the files out. Got my updated file for the AP, which isn't even her yet, at 03:56 EST. Not very many places out there with this kind of customer service. Superb (y).

As busy as Patrick is he emailed me today to find out if I found a dyno place for the remote dyno tune. If the results of the dyno tune are half as good as EQT's customer service I'll be delighted.

Will Ed be doing it or Nick? Or unknown at this point?

Same here. Already tested it out today. Burbles are back to normal, and overall better than v.1.25.

Don't know but I hope it's Ed. I don't know anything about Nick.

Nick did my whole tune start to finish. I don’t have anything bad to say about Nick. Revisions were quick and I’m pleased with the quality of the tune.

I’m pretty sure Ed has handed over most of the online tuning to Nick as far as I can tell through what he has said on the EQT Facebook page.

Did you notice any difference in driveability around 3000 RPM's where Ed said the stock tune was bleeding off boost in part throttle?
