Beware of James Rakes Tunes...
As for those wg duty cycle settings like his DALs they lack the proper taper and smoothness and the numbers make no sense. Example the table of all 85% wg duty cycle settings in that case the ecm is commanding the wg to be 85% shut at all desired boost levels above 0%. So at 10% throttle when the wg should be open so the car drives well and the turbo does not surge or choke he has it clamped closed most of the way. If I was not posting from my phone I would put up proper examples of wg duty cycle and all the other related throttle, torque and desired boost tables.
First hand experience after some things came about and I looked into things from my car being *fine*... I'm not impressed. I will be looking towards my new results... I should've created a thread of my own and stated results.

You can still make one. Hopefully others will check into their tunes now and they will see the light.

About time! I've been speaking against James for years! Gave him a second chance and still wasn't happy. I really didn't like it!
Based on my experience, I'd only recommend Trifecta and Terminator2

I hope for your sake you know what you're looking at then.
He tends to remote tune narrowband vehicles without an external wideband signal piped into hpt. Nor does he dial in ANY VE tables what so ever. Good luck with that one.

Yeah you cannot dial in a narrow band vehicle without a external wideband which is why I do not like remote tuning LSJs. They never have the wideband hooked up right or they do not have one at all. It makes it impossible to dial in the MAF and VE.
all in all we,re just bricks in the wall.
not 100% impossible, just really ****** close to it.

I think a big problem is that people get a car thats quicker than before and therefore believe that person is the **** and a great tuner without actually knowing what was done and if that change was good.
Iv stayed outta this up to this point because i know nothing I say will stop these bandwagoner sheeps from speading misinfo but id like to point out something the topics talking about byt and his shitty tunes was quickly locked because of how people where bashing him yet the mods allow this to keep going? Either way ill not be responding to anyone that comments back at me.
No ones bashed him, for the umpteenth damn time. It's not the hard to comprehend this. It's like any other product, or service someone pays for. Francis got flamed hard about his crap headlight and the thread wasn't locked. OTTP gets threads about unhappy customers.
If someone is PAYING for something and they are not happy, they have every right to let someone know why. This is no different.
