Instead, I think it modifies the AFR and TPS voltage to achieve results - pretty genius if you ask me, and it should be a very safe and reliable tune for these reasons.

Install is a 5 minute affair, very easy to install and remove.

Fuel economy has improved for me - in two full tanks since install, MPG went from 29.1 to 30.5 and 30.3 per tank. That's with the same driving behavior before & after - commute to/from work.

That being said, the aFe solution likely will not have an upgradeable Stage 2 like the BMS tune, as there aren't any accessible ports.

You can't go wrong with either choice IMO. I went with aFe for the ease of install and reliability in how it goes about achieving the power increase (not touching boost pressure).
Are you going to take it in for a dyno run? If so, please post up the results. It would be awesome to see what the gains are like, rather having the numbers come from aFe.
