Their email to saxon is vague with respect to which entity is actually going to perform the tuning work. As noted above, I alerted them to AR and this particular thread. Hopefully they register and give us some insight.

I don’t want to step on anyones toes here, but there’s a key part to this you’re missing. It’s knowing where things are, how they work together, what to change, why to change it, and what it looks like when things are changed. Getting that information (on all fronts) isn’t easy. It doesn’t matter how good the calibrator is. Without it, you’re not going to do too well. That’s all I’ll say.
I think overall though this argument is too speculative. The way I read it is they are using EPL as a distribution channel, same as with JHM “using” APR.
Also, according to this standard, Arin and all other AR members who’ve cross-posted to this forum should also have received an infraction. It’s pretty funny.
Going back to the original topic of this thread, hopefully AMS helps move this platform forward. They have shown consistently good results within the Evo, Porsche, and GTR worlds. If they don’t get anything new going for us, we are no worse off than we currently are. I’m excited just to see another well known group take a stab at this for us.
AMS is the real deal we all know that. We just don’t want to see the great AMS be held back by EPL…anyone can say how great AMS is and that they make great products. We all get that…
the ko4 was a great product the rs6 turbo was a great product. THEY were both proven products… guyess what… EPL sucked at making power and performance on them…EVERYONE loves APR and I think we ALL WANT a AMS to help grow the B8 market…no one wants some china selling turbo guy with some lame idea to be the only choice…
AMS is a hero company with EPL that isn’t…its cause to worry…so we all worry for AMS and wanting to see them do well EPL isn’t the answer. This isn’t the porsche… porsche tuning is well behind the Audi stuff… the Audi stuff is much much harder…
I think the last thing all of us want is for a great company in AMS trying to tell us how good epl is…when infact we all know they are not…maybe the AMS guys can help epl tune better or bring more out if epl is tuning there cars… AMD sure was a huge fail for epl…
