      Motiv and Protuning Freaks

      Im trying to find out what is fact and what is rumor.

      Is it true that PTF was started with Jake and Dzenno, and recently they parted ways?

      In that separation, Jake is now fully on board and behind Motiv, while Dzenno is 100% of PTF, is this also correct?

      Im curious because I was under the impression that Jake was still doing all the tuning with PTF but decided to add Motiv product line, not entirely separate themselves as is what Im hearing is the case.

      (I dont care the reasons as its irrelevant)

      Im wondering if im just late to finding this out, or if there are other people who were under the same impression as me?

      Chime in if you knew there was a complete separation of the two, or if you thought Jake was still with PTF please.

      As far as I know they are now two entirely separate companies. Jake with Motiv and Dzenno with PTF

      Jake is not associated with PTF in any material way, as I understand it. Beyond that, i'll let Jake speak for himself.

      Business seperate all the time, i dont care if it was friendly or not, just curious who was behind the names now.

      I do find it odd that Jake, the tuner, left the tuning company and now someone else is doing the tuning built on a proven name.

      Jake and Dzenno were both "the tuner"
