Lets just all get along... How about a round of I'd like to teach the world to sing...
On a related note..
In my opinion, it would have been extremely professional if Nate had provided his past customers with electronic, or paper coppies of their Maps prior to moving on, but alas, that is not the case. I wonder what happened to his copy of the ECUTek software and ProTuner... Aaron... Is that PC still around that we could get our maps?

Ummm, Mike's old car was tuned by us, his new car was tuned by Gruppe-S. After tuning Mike's WRX, Nate found a way to smooth the OL/CL transitions, but Mike was onto his 05 at that point, wanted to go with AP, and Moike took care of him at a time when we couldn't. QED.
Regarding your second request, and your statement of professionalism, you're speculating on a lot that I'm not going to respond to on a public forum, as I'm not going to get into details on why the old shop went away. Nate is no longer tuning, but the work he's done over the years is his intellectual property. Maps cannot be read by another Ecutek license, so there is no reason for or method to provide those maps to past customers. The "computer" is not available for that information, and likely won't be, and while we have the Ecutek software, we prefer the Cobb solution as it offers much easier and quicker tuning, so retunes on Ecutek cars will be handled in a method to be determined once the new shop is up and rolling.
Until the new shop is open for business, I can't really comment anymore, but I felt the need to address some of the questions asked in this thread. It is not Paul's intetion to leave past customers out in the cold by any means, but he is starting a new business that is unique and stands apart from any previous efforts, and his purchase of the hardware and software does not imply a continuation of the previous shop.
Regarding what this thread originally started with; the old shop closed for multiple reasons, many of us had close personal and professional ties to it, and believe me, I know it sucks. Paul will try to fill that void as much as possible, but please do not expect him to answer for anything previous, as it's not his responsibility.
Shops close, people leave and move on, and we work together to keep everyone supported. Facts of life
