About 2 months ago i posted on here about what i was thinking of doing regarding a cam upgrade, i was contacted via pm by oscar sebastian, a thirdgen user, about solutions. He continued to tell me about his custom tune that hes been able to create a decent amount of power that would be a better option for me, i payed him for the chip after he collected all my information, and then he "shipped" it out. To this day, no chip has been recieved, multiple attempts at contacting him, he tells me he will send me tracking 3 days later (multiple times), and then theres the excuses, his no refund policy, he will burn another chip for me, but then ignores my emails once again. For anyone that is contacted by him, i would avoid him, you will just lose your money and get aggravated by how pathetic people can be.

Sorry to hear that. If you still need help with the tune, give TunedPerformance a hollar. He is a good guy and may help you out.

Yep, I posted about him in the other thread.

He PM'd me out of the blue trying to sell me a tune.

That guy is bad news period. He gives out the worst advice, contradicts himself constanly, and generally seems like he has no clue about what he's talking about.

thatoneguy5x

I ordered a chip from him as well $50 told me he did a bunch of other chips for members. I didn't need anything fancy just to set my fan to go on earlier. so ok paypaled him the money he sent me a message saying he received it and he'll send it out right away. a week goes by nothing try to get a hold of him but he blocked PM's ok.. waited another week still nothing tried to get a hold of him again, no luck. thought to myself this guy just stole my $50.

2 months later! I repeat 2 months!!! I finally get my chip. it did its job but definitely never goin through him or any1 else before doing some more research on the person. he went by the name ninetyone on the forums. it said he was a member since 09 so I figured he was trustworthy. be careful people. "ninetyone"

I'm sorry that happened. Try to do background checks on who you buy from, especially if they're not a business.

Wish i saw this before I ordered mine... I got mine back in August, it only took about a month, his communication was decent but this has me wondering if its actually going to work or not...

plum92_camaro

ninetyone was blowing up my inbox trying to sell me a chip. i wasn't convinced. Now i'm glad i didn't buy from him.

Heatzone25 PM'd me, trying to sell me a chip too. This, after he read my post about how i DELETED MY ECM...yeah I was pretty suspicious. I'm sorry to hear that he screwed you guys.

same thing happened to me but at the time he didnt have a bad name on the board. I have a chip now. After over a month of waiting. That I am scared to use because If he lacks in shipping does he also lack in tuning knowledge. I filed a paypal claim before he shipped anything and once he shipped and proviided them with tracking everything was okay in their eyes. But I had to order another chip from someone else (tunedperformance) and now i have two chips. I installed tuned performances chip and the car runs great. Oscar is a punk, thief, liar.

iTrader: (56)

hmm....now i'm a little afraid to install the chip he burned for me. for $50 i figured i couldnt pass the deal up so he burned me a chip and sent it out (i contacted him 1 time to ask if he was still shipping it and recieved it 2 days later) Now i'm a little weary of putting it in.....what if it makes my car blow up into a giant fireball?

99olo

One way to find out.

Worst case scenario, it runs bad.

Tuned Performance

iTrader: (92)

Just watch the direction of the eprom it has a notch that needs to face the right direction.
Worse case it will run bad or ping if the timing was to far advanced.

iTrader: (1)

going back and reading all the pm's it does seem a little suspicious. and apparently i need to buy a $35 adapter from "moates.net" to use the new prom he wrote. does that sound accurate? i mean i'm in it $50, should i go for it and see how it is or should i just forget it and get a new one written........if it helps too i can copy/paste the pm message here

99olo

I wanna read it. I'm sure we all do.

Tuned Performance

iTrader: (92)

If you were just sold a chip the stock chip is soldered in. You can solder in a d2 socket or get a g1.

Tuned Performance

iTrader: (92)

A d2 soldered into a tpi sd memcal.

let me know if you guys think i got screwed too...

Tuned Performance

iTrader: (92)

I'm not sure if you got messed over, one would have to read the eprom. If your wanting to save money instead of buying a g1 send me a pm I will help by unsoldering the stock chip and solder in a dip socket so you can use the prom you purchased.

Got a crap tune from him as well. Granted I know just enough about tunerlro to be dangerous hut there were things in his tune that were huge red flags for me. I've still got a copy of it somewhere and after that mess I decided to wait for a dyno tune.

He goes by JOHN WAYNE now on facebook, he told me a 1 week wait, its now 3 almost 4. He does seem to beg for you to buy it. Will see if its worth buying soon if I ever get it, he will not refund me.

Just beware that there are some members that will still PM you trying to talk you into buying one of those chips. Makes you wonder if it aint the same guy or a friend.

After witnessing him being removed from at least 10 automotive pages and reading 500+ post threads with proof of no change and full private conversations I find it quite disturbing and will stay clear.you can't even file a paypal dispute due to his custom invoice. He may not of taken advantage of you but of you but several local friends of mine were victims. I won't fall for it.

Blown86by84

The chips are not even his, he claims they are custom chips but they are 100% mass produced. He pays 5 dollars for the chips and turns around and sells them at 50 dollars.

RyanJB

That's too be expected. I don't think many people claiming to be tuners are also semiconductor manufacturers. They all come from the same place.

Blown86by84

I don't mean the physical chip, I am talking about the tune of the chip.

Blown86by84

the tune is a good one, don't get me wrong, but this scam artist runs a business claiming the tunes are his own custom tunes and charges 50 dollars for them. He is doing nothing but buying the tunes in bulk for 5 dollars a chip and claiming they are his tune.

RonnieJ91

Jackson89 you referred me to Oscar before I even saw any of this. I ordered a chip Sept. 1st 2015, here its now Oct. 8th 2015. Still no chip, I emailed him asking if it was shipped and he asked when it was ordered, and ok no problem. That was Sept. 16th 2015. I then emailed him Oct 2nd 2015 asking on the status, no response. Also emailed him today no response. From what I got before he responded really quickly within 1 to 2mins. Maybe you can get in contact with him and find out where my chip is since He is not responding to emails and you did referrer me to him.

RonnieJ91

I ordered a chip from Oscar before seeing any of this. I still haven't got or heard anything back. I ordered it on Sept 1st 2015. I emailed him on sept 16th 2015 and he said he would check on it but still never got it or heard anything, not even a tracking number. I then emailed him Oct 2nd 2015 asking for the status and no reply, again today I emailed him and no reply. When he did reply it was really quick within 2 to 5mins. I was referred to him by jacksons89. So since he doesn't answer phones, now not answering emails. is there anyway you jacksons89 can get in touch with him? Do I have to wait 2 months to receive something from Delaware, or California to Maryland?

I started a thread regarding VATS delete and Jackson89 recommended a chip from John Wayne. I believe Jackson89 is John Wayne also known as o.sebastion@yahoo.com. I ordered a chip 6/24/16 and charged to my credit card, delivery was to be in 5-7 days. Texted him 2 weeks later and he responded ON THE WAY. Texted him 3 weeks later (now 5 weeks from order) and he responded I"LL CHECK ON IT. Texted a week later and he responded WHAT'S YOUR NAME. Emailed and texted my name and address and have never heard from him since.

Filed a fraud report with Chase VISA and have my money back while they investigate him for fraud.

Stay away from this guy, the only person he delivers chips to is himself, then praises himself on this board!

JJake

Apparently I pissed him off by cancelling the order and reporting him to Chase VISA. An airline ticket was charged to my credit card, the only time I used this card in 3 years, so it had to be him. Please learn from my bad experience.

If you have one of his chips I would suggest someone data log your car......


I have retuned 10 of his "chip" cars on cars that are not bolt on cars. And is laughable some of you claiming you could feel a difference by seat of the pants.
