Until today, who here has heard of them? Better yet, who has their tune, or even considered them?
Think I posted about them earlier. They’ve had good results (obviously lol) but I’ve heard more than once now that they cut a few corners in regards to safety to achieve those results.
They are better known in the VW / R32 circles I believe.
Only heard of them from two cars.

A retune they did of a pes b6 s4 that went 12.51 @ 111 I believe. There was another m90 supercharged b6 that went 12.5 @ 112 though so nothing earth shattering. Further the um tuned car had every mod possible… Even Jhm headers. The other one just had piggies and catback… And was a tiptronic.

A b6 s4 guy who just wanted to go against the grain and try something different. Nothing provided to show its capabilities
I have heard of them from the tuning they are doing on the TT-RS… I am planning to go with APR for tuning my TT-RS assuming they get the tune issue ironed out in the next month or two… UM would be choice #2 on that car followed by GIAC if APR doesn’t resolve the issues, which I am confident they will…
Any links…they are willing to tune the pes blower kit. …that kinda sums it up right there…they have one of the guys that works at um telling people how much he loves the tune and a few discounted customers adding empty lip service…nothing more then that. … I woild be interested to see why epl wasn’t able to get the job done
Here is a not so good link…that UM tuned K04 A4 I was talking about last week…

blown motor after first setup…now has smoking issues…but it’s the injectors, right?
No links just a couple conversations I’ve had. Here’s a specific example:
UM tuned car dynos XXXwhp, decent numbers. Customer felt like something was wrong and went to another tuner. Tuner X then puts their tune on the same car a few days later, doesn’t make any power, flashing cel. Turns out there were problems with the engine. Fixed problems, redyno’ed, car was fine made good power. Why did it dyno fine on the UM tune with those problems?
