EUROCHARGED ECU GROUP BUY

Hey guys!
Just got in touch with Jake from Eurocharged and we're planning on doing a group buy for the W203s ECU tune for $250 instead of $449.99. Would like to see who's in.

Will this require shipping out my ECU or are there authorized dealers all over the place...

RWD, their HQ is in Houston.
I just drove up to them and in 10 minutes was done.
They used to be on 59 at the Motorwerks location, but apparently they've moved since then.

You could also do it remotely with a laptop and an OBDII connection they can sell you (or borrow one from someone who's already done it).

Lots of happy results here from Eurocharged customers. Do a search for your particular engine and setup; should be some feedback here.

Interested for 2005 M271 engine (I4 engine). Does $250 include the software and OBDII connector? It might be hard if I have to ship my ECU to TX...

THE C350
I have the OBD connector from eurocharged somewhere and would start a loaner program for anyone that wants to borrow it. As i don't have my c320 anymore it is useless to me.
As for the tune on my c320 it was amazing ran it for a very long time and loved every minute of it.

I'm interested!...

I'm at 92K with my 2005 C230 Sport Kompressor and a tune sounds delightful...also, I'm conveniently located in San Antonio.

Well, I am biased since I paid for it But does feel like it pulls stronger after ~3k RPM.
I wouldn't say much changed at 1.5 - 2k range, but that's perhaps a good thing for calm city driving. Still, able to spin the rear wheel(s) from a stop.
The throttle response is better, but still not as instantaneous as I'd expected it to be.
Don't recall if the stock ECU holds the gear if you rev up and let off the gas? I think it used to switch to higher gear pretty fast before the tune.

There was a dyno sheet somewhere for the M271 with the tune to better understand where the gains are...

All in all, I think it's worth the 'risk' at $250.

some 2006+ models ecu have to send the ecu out. I had to send mine in when i had it done cause the M272 engine wasn't working right with their remote tune they had. I think OE tuning has a slightly better tune personally but cant beat the price of the deal.

2005 C230 Sedan
Any update on this? I may be interested, but not familiar with the process. I have 2005 c230 kompressor sedan, would I need to remove ecu and send it as well? What's the turn around time usually?

Hi All! Im back from a loooooong hiatus from this forum. I got a lot of good info when I first bought the car and modded it but stopped checking back in the last few years. Just ordered a c400 a couple weeks ago so I came back and now I'm on the w205 pages mostly. Anyways, still going to keep the c240 for the winter but now I don't mind to tinker with the engine. Any ECU tune for the c240 engine? I would be interested in a group buy since it seems their facility is in my home city (Toronto).

I was driving a w205 c300 4matic base model a few weeks ago. I was so impressed with the car so I am sure with the c400 you will be very very happy just watch your speed!

REAL sorry guys i was super busy with finals! I don't have much info as it is but we can get going on this soon if you're all still interested! All i know is that youll either have to get the cable extra or have your ecu shipped to them. Im contacting jake for more info.

The least we will do is $300 plus tax if you get 20 cars. Our pricing is different from US pricing and I have just confirmed with Jake that $300 would be the minimum under the above noted conditions.
You will be saving $100 off $400 already discounted price. This is 25% off and is more than fair given the circumstances. (Keep in mind these are in CAD)

This is the recent update I got for the group buy... not really what we agreed upon...

I would be interested in the Group Buy if I can still take my car to their North York Location to have it programmed
