Actually if you look at Malloynx he has been running his for a few months now trouble free. Also if you follow the threads regarding the Maftpro or any other tuning device, you will find a common theme..People expecting for the next great unit to solve all of there problems! Unfortunately 99% of the time, the issues are not tide to the unit, but rather to the owner who is trying to get great results while skipping key steps, such as making sure that the car is sound, with all sensors and parts working properly, before attempting to add another variable (which they are also unfamiliar with) into the mix! Not enough people take the time to understand the basics, yet they are more than eager to jump into a unit which requires at the very minimum, some a basic knowledge of how and why the car uses certain sensors and parts. The "Pro" in Maftpro implies that the user should have some basic knowledge of how their car works before attempting to use the unit. I don't claim to know everything about my car, but I have had the maftpro for a few months and have read all of the supporting documention, which has allowed me to make good use of the unit on a friends car. So here is my review of the unit thus far:
Here is link for a post I just put on the Fullthrottletech.com site.... I guess I might aswell just copy the post here too (for the lazy folks that don't want to click on the link)

Gotta love the Pro!

I just wanted to add to the praises of the MAFTPRO.
Unfortunately the car is not mine (I still haven't found the time to assemble my motor and get it going), but I get to tune just the same. The Car is a 1989 Toyota Supra which was rolled out of the dealership by its current owner! The current power setup goes as follows:
Stock 7mgte motor with HKS metal head gasket. 3.0L inline six cylinder motor
HKS intercooler and pipe kit.
SP67 bolt-on(to stock manifold) turbo kit. which is a 67mm compressor wheel. 17psi watesgate spring.
Delphi 580cc injectors at 38 psi static fuel pressure at idle.
Aeromotive adjustible fuel pressure regulator.
Innovative LC-1 wideband kit.
Maftpro working hand in hand with the stock ECU to keep the car singing and the wheels chirping.
So far during our tuning session we have been able to get the a/f's to mid 14's at idle and fluctuation between 13.9 and 15.1 while crusing. at WOT the Stock ECU is notorious for dumping huge amounts of fuel, so we have tuned it from 9.3 a/f now up to 11.6 a/f via the of the AFR tracking and logging with tuner pro. I do have to learn a bit more about the Gain feature for the AFR Tracking because I believe that having it set to 4, might be what is keeping it from nailing down one specific a/f. Maybe if I turn it down it will be more stable. During the AFR Tracking at WOT the a/f's seem to be anywhere between 10.7 to 12.1, while the settings are for 11.5 a/f across the board.
One of the coolest features of this unit is that when you use both the tunerpro and the maftpro together, you can monitor and log data and also make changes "on the fly". I also make use the tunerpro's ability to make an excel lay out showing the whole log. Im hoping that maybe after one more tuning session we get to go back to the dyno and beat his last 425whp run! stay tuned for the results. Oh and speaking of dynos, this Wideband is worth its weight in gold! It has saved us a lot of money from not having to go to a dyno just to see how the tune was. Plus we can also make the proper changes along the whole rpm and load range, as oppossed to just the WOT map which is all we would get to do at a dyno.
