After I installed the topgunz A2A kit he couldn’t get it to start after 7 maps. Don’t get me wrong, he seems to be a great guy and tuner but never really talked to me much and eventually started not responding much to my emails. Anybody knows if you have a car your working on and it’s not running right, you want to know how to get it fixed. Remote tuning is difficult due to the fact that he tuner can’t drive the car or listen to it. Long story short, I was told to contact Eugene Turkov. He got my car running like new after one map. He has been nothing but supportive and answers all my questions with anything I have. He’s always willing to help out. He has even called me and also teaches along the way how to use ecutek, so you as the owner can know somewhat, what to look for if something don’t seem right. The so called childish thing between him and Admin, that seemed to be started by admin over a simple true statement that he didn’t like. I mean I don’t know, but that’s what I read. I havnt heard any bad comments about Eugene, but many toward admin. I even had some bad business with admin myself. I’m about to purchase the new TopgunZ ACE kit, and will be tuning again with Eugene Turkov. He is def one of the most knowledgeable on ecutek and the VQ platform. Do some research man and in the end go with who you want, and don’t base it off the so-called childish whatever. You want your car tuned to run good and for what you use it for, not to blow up in the first week.
I just want to add on to this a little: I've also had three tuners, namely Sebastian, Admintuning and Eugene. For various reasons that I don't feel like getting into I was ultimately not completely satisfied with Sebastian or Admintuning. I know they both are highly respected tuners and I never doubted their capabilities but they also leave much to be desired in the support department.

With Eugene the tuning experience is completely different in a very positive way. He is extremely responsive and will take the time to call and review the logs while explaining everything. No more e-mailing a log and get a tune back within an indeterminate amount of time with vague changes. A very important consideration for Eugene that I didn't even realize at the time until I did more research about it is the fact he's the only tuner that I'm aware of who does full speed density tunes, no hybrid ********. If you are venting excess air back into atmosphere with a bypass/blow off valve you should be running full speed density (here's a decent video explaining why, it's for a Subaru but it's the exact same concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7mNu7QACrQ). And at last, this is a completely personal reason but Eugene has a background in software development as do I. One thing you realize is there's a rather large crossover between software development and tuning, both can require large amounts of data analysis and problem solving.
