Honestly GS430 is slow by today's standards, and removing your cat is a pretty big deal cause it makes your car illegal in most places and pollute quite a bit - may result in a hefty fine. I report any and all cars in California I see or detect that are de-catted.
GS430 0-60 6.3, 1/4 mile 14.7. And that's assuming it's a brand new GS430. They've lost a bit of power since 2001 when those #s were published.

I have purchased OV tune + catless downpipe back in June 2019, it's ~5 months forward now, and I haven't got a single proper tune yet, living with "check engine" light, messy transmission shifts, engine almost stalling on idle/low rpm, and mediocre performance.
Miscommunication is a big shortcoming on OV part, paying an amount shy of $1k for a service should at minimum grant me some care, at least until one tune is enough to get me up & running. I go weeks & a month or more at times without a single reply, I did everything I could providing all means possible to explain the problems on my part, from ECU reads, data logging, verbal explanation, & even video recording.
Apologies for the rant, but it's really frustrating to pay & get your car messed up, my Zendesk ticket ID is 8317, please look into it asap, it's an on-going emergency for months now.
Cheers.

If you remove the cat's you will throw a CEL regardless of tune. This is due to the secondary o2 sensor reading hotter temperatures. If you want to get rid of the CEL, get yourself different size O2 bungs/defoulers and find out what works for you.

We can remove CELs for cars outside of the united states, and we have on multiple versions of your tune. I'm quite certain several of the tunes you had got you up and running and no issue.
As far as responding to tickets and getting updates, we are moving our store and reallocating our resources so that we can have a better way of updating customers. We should be finished by Nov 15th.

Your issue is being resolved by the manufacturer of the device. And as far as shipping time to your country I have no control over that. Unfortunately we had no idea and neither did they about this issue, but it is being fixed
I believe I had sent you multiple tunes, several of which had no issues, but then you wanted increase in boost other other things.

Regarding CEL it's always there, in the last tune u sent 1.02Base it re-appeared after driving 60miles, & the tune has idle issues, plus the transmission optimizations previously had r gone, I have explained everything thoroughly in the ZenDesk ticket, idk y argue here, I'm surprised by ur reply.
I'm not asking for updates, just the proper tune with the promised feature set which I paid for.
Cheers.

Sir u did send multiple tunes on a span of 5 months all of which had multiple issues. No single tune was proper & daily drivable, some tunes were so bad the engine stalls, the most bearable tune is the old 1.01G-C-P001 which has CEL & doesn't utilize the downpipe I bought as part of the package, hence I asked for the boost.

This is part of the problem. Our tune does not modify idle in any way, or idle ignition or idle fuel. We have provided that file to you and then had to go on investigating why there is other problems with your car.

First off "The Problem" is totally yours, I need a working reliable tune as part of our transaction, and I'm willing to cooperate and help to achieve that if u just respond and not ignore my ticket for months on ZenDesk.
Regarding the idle issue, it sure is tune related, because it is none existent in couple tunes & arises in the rest, with varied intensity, so.. yea, u made a progress in reducing the effect in 1.02 plus idle learning helps sometimes, so it's doable and pretty close I'd say if u just work consistently.
I'd like to assure there is nothing personal here, no one's feeling offended or getting aggressive, strictly business.
Please kindly arrange my tune asap, looking forward to it.
Cheers.
