Sorry to say, but I just don't have the free time that I had just a couple of years ago. So, by the end of the year, I plan to 'retire' from BoostButton and computer work in general. Unless I can find someone to transfer the 'business' to, the store will be shut down.

I will be putting all of the BB board designs in the public for anyone to order if you want to go true DIY; or anyone else to make and sell if they wish.

If anyone is interested in taking over the BB name, website, and inventory (in part or whole) please contact me and I'm sure we can work something out (but please don't have any illusions, this is definitely not a drop your day job kind of business).

Thanks everyone, it has been a fun time.

Wow, that really sucks.

I was hoping to have you do a couple of tunes for me next spring.

But I understand. Good luck.

I appreciate all the work you have done. Your contributions to the community have definitely made a difference in the capabilities of these cars. The frequent updates and new products will be missed. This means I have to get into SMT soldering, had some plans to order some things next year.

Buy the ticket; take the ride. Thanks for the good times Rob. Without you this hobby wouldn't have been nearly as much fun so far.

It basically is. I can post it. It's only got a couple of changes from the T2 code...

How would someone go about modifying your cal, when having the car dyxno tuned. Wouldn't you need the template file that you created for the bin file?

And thanks for all your work on creating these cals.

the forum section EFI Tuning would probably already have the answer. if it is one of his cals done with T-smec all the files are in the code repository http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?21-Electrical-amp-Fuel-System

Rob L you have done a fine service to this community, you will be missed:mecry:. My sincere hope is that you will stay active here in the capacity that your work/family/life commitments allow. Rob M please pick up where the master left off. We need this effort continued.:amen: Because frankly, I cant do the processes of tuning and calibration that are so vital to the TM population at large...

Sad news indeed. But I can understand. I hope someone can carry on the torch, and provide similar services to those who need the turnkey parts - computers and cables.
Thank you for all your support and contributions Rob, they have been significant, and appreciated.

Yes, but if I did the cal I can send you all your cal files. Just send me an e-mail requesting them.

Is it officially closed? Or did you have a change of heart, or find someone to take it over? I just hope that theses awesome products continue to be available

The store is still open with the few things I want to do (flashable computers) until I run out of parts or someone steps up to buy it all. But, just a warning, my delivery times are slooowwww (even slower than usual).

I hope to finally close it a down by the end of this month.

The store is basically closed now. I sold off the remaining inventory to a group of users that I assume will be making some kind of announcement soon.

I'm still working on getting everything together for them (and for shipping) to make sure they can get started as easily as possible.

I'm not going to be playing with cars anymore. For a while, anyway. I'd still like to build something. Just no time right now.

I do intend to help keep things going on the computer stuff. I can do alot on my bench :)

Hope someone is able to carry on, I am sure I am not the only one that was in need soon.

Working on getting everything organized and to get with Rob L on building the boards and whatnot. Also need to pay for a vendor account :) I have been working with a few people on custom cals already, got some pretty good baselines to go from for future customers.

Other than Cindy at FWD there are a few guys on the facebook SDAC group. One of them bought much of Robs stuff but doesn't really advertise anything.
