S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

Engine went kaboom while tuning

Fuel pump possibly. Probably not the injectors, if it was, it is rare that they would all decide to go bad at the same time, usually just one cylinder would get fried.

Again, used stand alone computer. Back when i was building a civic, I got one of the first EMS's...it fried on me. AEM replaced it under warranty which was stand up of them, but again, that was a brand new one where the history of the unit was obvious. A used stand alone computer is a mixed bag. Old fuel pump that the OP brought up can also be a big gremlin.

It's a shitty situation all around. Even for the tuner because once the seed of skepticism is planted, doubt about their reputation will only grow.

Oh I was under the impression all cylinders melted down. Well in that case its leaning more towards equipment failure like an injector or driver from the ems, then the tune. But again pictures of all the plugs would be great and the tune file.

I requested some picture earlier but they already took out the plugs and it's hard to see anything into it
I should talk to them again about the equipment failures

Well you can send the ems in for inspection. I have heard of aem failing many times. Mines did too.

Is the fuel pump the stock one.

If yes, that's probably what wrecked everything.

Aem will look at the ems, and if you want to upgrade to v2, they use to do a buy back.
