Tuning and building is an art as much as a science. If you just throw something on the engine that's not designed specifically for the parts, you could get in trouble.

Crazy!!!!
To me its crazy that the RaceChip or similar piggy back can cause that much damage based on settings that are put into consumers hands. Would these examples have be the result of an ignored CEL over a long period of time?
I mean seriously, if A/F mix is way off or IAT2's are too high, the ECU should be able to retard timing or override settings for preservation purposes. The throw a CEL to call for attention.
I mean that's one way to scare everyone into a $2,500 Dinan tune!
