The link is a better discussion on the use of dyno's rather than the tune itself.

I read the post and it seems like they are an independent shop trying to crack ECU's - there are plenty of these out there. And good for them - I was one of them but using a different ECU rather than trying crack the Porsche DME/ECU. I am in Belgium a couple times a year and might stop by to see what they are doing. But I don't think they are in the same category as the other chip makers and the one tuner you already list.

Again, good job on your hard work. Maybe you'll want to add independent shops to your list for those who don't mind getting involved with experimenting.
There are many respectable tunners that are offering flash tune whit modifying ecu for F modell bmw and it has been for som time the problem is rather than quality that you have to remove your ecu for them to tune, a flash obd port tune is to date NA. Lots of posts about this in m4/m3 post.so it's nothing shady about it.
