My recent message proves this wrong. Heres some comments from another 
mailing list I am on:

"So far everyone Ive talked to that had 034 has had nothing good to say 
about it. <snip>...... I talked to him once in the early days when I was 
entertaining the idea of using it, and after that one call I decided to run 
away."

"His s4 intercooler kit uses the cheapo intercoolers you can get off
ebay for  ~$200. but the kit sells for like $1200." <I snipped many 
malicious comments from this one>

"Javad must have a doctorate in hypnosis.  Never have i seen a con-artist 
stay in business this long."

"From what i've

"I'm not a fan of javads, we had a few posts back n forth on the quattro 
list a few years ago.  He was selling stuff he didnt understand and was 
either knowingly or unknowingly lieing to people to sell his efi.   It was 
when it only did  fuel and no ignition.  He  was pushing his system  and was 
saying that ignition  timing wasnt important.  We went back and forth about 
that a few times.  I felt like he was trying to cheat people, so I gave a 
list of other systems that worked with 5 cyls and i dont think he liked that 
much.  I lost all respect for him back then."

You are correct, none of the efforts were listed, but I personally called 
034 3 times and spoke with Nate about some issues, then the vehicles owner 
called numerous times and talked to both Nate and Christian. I believe he 
also talked to Javad, but can't be sure on that. Some of the phone calls 
resulted in "I'll call you back after I talk to Javad", but after 24 hours I 
called back to hear "Oh right yeah...um... your doing it wrong I guess, 
nobody else has ever complained".
