Which Tune?

Numbers are one thing, especially the torque increases, but the throttle response difference is huge with Eurocharged tune. In comfort mode it’s like jet thrust lol.

Your summary mirrors what I have found
for me the canned tune will work as I have no local, qualified custom tuner
for those who have done eurocharged or a similar tune on their S....is it worth it?
im willing to risk my warranty as I do not think the tunes push the limits but if I am going to do that and spend the $1500 I would like to know that your seat of the pants dyno feels a sizable improvement with aggressive street driving.

Quick question your GTS dyno run shows 567 @the wheels with a tune and down pipe. What are the numbers to the wheels with out the down pipe? Cats suck but man I hate the smell you get without them.

Nice and thanks. I guess I'm going Eurocharged. Yesterday I ordered a set of Weistec filters like you said for what its worth... I'm trying not to go overboard with this car like I have done with my Grand Sport where I dumped $20K in the first 9 months of ownership.
Dont get me wrong every penny has been well worth it. I'm just going to take baby steps...

Working with Jake @ eurocharged to get my ECU shipped to them. So far I like the quick response to communications. Look forward to experiencing the change.

I'm with you and I feel your pain. With my Grand Sport I waited till it had 4K miles before I had the headers, X pipe and Akrapovic installed and the car tuned. I figured I would wait to see if the A8 tranny showed signs of malfunction. When it hit 8K miles I tossed all caution to the wind and dropped a stage 2 root supercharger in it, knowing very well that I had just pissed away any and all warranty. On the GTS I'm not sure why I'm not waiting longer, maybe I think that the benefit out weighs the risk? I hope I'm right LOL...

Have had my car Eurocharge tuned for 2+ years and 18,000 miles now.

This is a comparison of a few baseline runs for our car from different tuners. They've been normalized to lie on top of each other. Your plot seems low past 5200 rpm which would make your overall horsepower gains on the tune seem higher percentage wise since your baseline peak power is lower than it should be.

right on the money, as well as the additional pedal feel/responsiveness We make sure to tune not just for peak HP but the entire range

Just Eurocharged' my GTS.
What a freaking machine now. Before my buddy TT'd his Huracan I drove it a few times and according to my butt dyno, this feels just as fast. It pulls really damn hard, with the only negative being traction. It is cold out though and I only drove for 30 minutes, but wow, probably the best $1300 I've ever spent.

I put EC tune on mine a couple of weeks ago
While I agree that it really wakes our cars up and taps into power reserves I do respectfully suggest you look into getting your BUTT dyno recalibrated
If our cars feel as fast as your buddies TT Huracan I would be amazed. With conservative boost he has 850 hp to our tuned 539ish.
Not even close unless you got some super special $1300 tune or his Huracan is screwed up
my buddy has a Huracan with a VF 800 Supercharger and it doesn't compare to my tuned GTS nor did my R8 v10 with VF760 s.c.
either way...great mod and enjoy

How much torque can the DCT take for long term reliability? I would think about a tune on my GTC once I am out of warranty, but ideally I would better understand the torque limits of the DCT. Thoughts?

I have the same concerns but from what I've read, it can handle a tune. I baby it more though, as in I never downshift to first and I don't do 1st gear pulls. My only next mods will be filters and downpipe then at that point I'm done because I think bigger turbos will stress the DCT too much.
