First of all, here the major reason ( already posted in this thread ):
"It was not possible for me to create torque settings providing a 11-13 psi tune without seeing spikes when I floor the pedal, getting 2 psi more boost after shifting, getting 15 psi even the torque settings limit boost to 13 psi, etc. All this happened randomly, I could not detect any reason for this. I don't talk from boost spikes lifting the pedal, these are normal and will not harm anything. Friday last week I got a quite deep and loud hoovering sound from the engine bay, lasting 3-4 seconds, disappearing when I lifted the pedal"
Second, Shiv, you still continue to behave as everytime. Instead of working on the issues you post another new record. During the testing of v2.0.2 there have been 20psi spikes, not with me but with the other beta tester. You know as well that in case of such a spike the corresponding fuel will be delivered. And, what a surprise, the fuel pump of the other beta tester seems to die or died already.
I am aware about the HPFP problem but you might agree that such a load "will bring a HPFP defect to the light", as you said. Sflgator blew his in the 1st 2 days running V2. Per ( in Sweden, no US gas ) on the airfield event, IIRC.
As long as the unexpected spikes are not eliminated, I will stay away from beta testing and using the V2. I have time to look what happens now, my car is still in an excellent condition.
In fact, my PROcede is disabled now. I prefer to see how much "will be brought to the light" and decide later, what I will do with the device.
@Shiv: If you like to post some emails I would love you to post the beta-testing mails, not my polite emails I sent to you which are interpreted from you now as emails from a hyper-sensitive customer. I am very curious what it takes to bring you back to the drawboard instead of to continue marketing a not 100% developed product.

Eugen,
I am going to let Shiv field most of these when he gets a chance, because I know the he was awaiting the chance to discuss it with you. In the mean time, I just want to touch on a few points.
Tonight, we went out to the track, and ran a 12.2. While this it is great that we broke our
own record and all, it is more important that we got some more valuable test time. When we design a product, we need to take into account all types of driving. We have customers that only drive their 335 on the street, others who like drag racing, and guys like leftcoastman who are into road racing. Drivability, outright power, and power delivery weigh in differently for each of these categories. For instance, partial throttle tuning is not really important in drag racing, but is very important for those who are daily driving their cars. With that said, very few e90ers would buy our product if it only improved the drivability of the car, which is why we need to confirm the outright power at the dragstrip as well. Testing is testing, whether we are driving around town, or ripping around a race track, and we refine the maps while doing both.
In regards to the fuel pump: Yes, it is no secret that if a faulty fuel pump is destine to fail, the process will be accelerated with greater fuel consumption.
