Default Question about GTEK

So, I GTEK'd my car today. I know a few people who have invested in these and use these, and I've heard from other that they're unreliable. Just how reliable is GTEK?

Nevertheless, my car ran a 16.08 at 85mph. Better than I expected.

I have one also, but rarely use it. It would be consistently off 2-3 tenths in the 1/4 mile. They are supposed to be way more accurate than that, but I suspect that it has to be perfectly calibrated to perform to full potential.

Nevertheless, my car ran a 16.08 at 85mph. Better than I expected.
Just curious, why is this better than you expected? It should be a mid 15 second car in good tune.

Well, I've been having problems with it. Turbo stutters at high RPM, especially at the top of 3rd.
