    Received Bad Tune

    I installed a ZZP CAI and High Flow Cat DP on my 2015 ATS 2.0T. I proceeded to get tunned at a shop which they are known for tunning Hyundai genesis 3.8 or 2.0T and I asked them if they would be able to tune a Cadillac ATS 2.0T since they used HP Tuners and they assured me they would be able to and that they had previously tunned an LTG 2.0T turns out they have basically no idea what they were doing and were just having the vehicle remote tunned. The car ran fine for about a good 15 min before I lost all boost and had to disconnect and reconnect my battery for the tune to enable and me to receive my boost back, the car would basically panic and throw itself into limp mode. The shop is now stating for a retune to return my stock tune they want $250 and they refuse to send me my stock tune as I went and purchased HP tunners MPVI2 and 2 credits to reflash a tune. I have uploaded the tune I pulled off the car so you may all look and play around with it and maybe can let me know where the tune is bad and how they messed up on it, I was wondering if anyone has a stock 2015 Cadillac ATS 2.0T rear-wheel-drive automatic 6-speed tune that I can reflash on to my car to at least make it useable again as with the current tune the car is unreliable and I'm afraid something is gonna break with it.

    UPDATE: I cannot upload the tune file as for some reason the forum is not uploading the file I acts like it does then closes the upload window.

    That's a bummer. Looking in the Tuner Repository, there is 1 person that uploaded a stock 2015 2.0T automatic file (it does not state drive type). Maybe that can help you until you get your situation figured out.

    HPTuners repository files are indeed stock. Considering they are the ones that get into the computers for us, I'm pretty sure they know what they're talking about. And they have removed all non stock files from the repository.
