My shop has called stillen dozens of times to talk about my kit. Im not hiding anything and we are giving stillen everything that they have requested. Believe me i would rather be driving my car than talk about the stillen supercharger shortcomings. Luckily my shop rocks they havnt charged me to install the 7 different tunes or the 7 different dynos. Stillen claims they have the right tune after the previous one failed i have to drive a hour to my shop, have my shop install the tune and dyno which takes another hour, then i have to drive another hour home. Three hours of my time for each tune x seven tunes.
Do you think it has anything to do with hardware or is it strickly a tune issue?

I know you're pissed, but if it were me, I'd go back to the "driveable" tune and just sit on it until Stillen can come up with a fix or stops trying. It doesn't cost you anything, and if the hardware is good, I bet the tune problems will get fixed eventually. Even if they don't, you get an custom tune and you will end up about where you want to be since no one else is going CARB as far as I know. A lot also depends on how long you have to return it. I'd check with Stillen on that. Otherwise you are gonna be out a good bit more money and more time to start over.

I have reverted back to the r6 tune from the newest r7 tune. The r6 tune is somewhat drivable but once u give it gas it has major lag and once the boost comes on the torque and hp just falls off the table. I think GTM is or was going to apply for carb for their supercharger.

I was under the impression (correct me if I'm wrong) that the whole reason Stillen was using the weird tuning solution (locked down tune) was because it was required to get CARB cert. I've heard that JWT was trying to get CARB cert on their twin turbo setup on 350Z's for years and coudn't for similar reasons.
