Awesome right? it feels as if the car comes alive at 3K Rpms right? 
OK, I finally got my tune done and all I can say is...I'm thoroughly impressed. Unfortunately, the cable (borrowed) I was using for some reason did not work, so I had to purchase another one from them.
As for the feel, the crisper throttle response is definitely noticeable...gone is the lag. It now feels as if I actually have a direct connection to the throttle body, like a cable. There does seem to be a bit more grunt, can't really tell from my "butt dyno". It also holds the gears longer. Makes driving the wagon much more enjoyable...kind of "BMWish" (please don't flame me). I'll definitely be more pleased when this becomes my car after we get my wife a new car.
Kudos to EC for working with me. I definitely recommend this tune for 320's (even at the normal price).

It's weired that the borrowed cable didn't work since it was also purchased from Eurocharged not that long ago by me. Hopefully Eurocharged can send a replacement cable or refund the money becasue it otherwise I was better off just sending in my ECU and saving $100.
Jerry was really helpful with me in getting my tune so I appreciate that and am also happy with the tune. I just hope the cable situation get's resovled.

removing the ecu is pretty easy, well depending on which engine you have. M272 (V6) is really easy, its smack dab right infront of you when you open the hood. Its the finned metal piece that the engine cover wraps around in the middle of your hood. Just remove the engine cover and theirs four bolts holding it down. As for the M112 I believe its by the fuse box and kind of difficult to remove.
When removing I'd recommend disconnecting the battery first.

for some reason EC has had some trouble with remote tunes on some w203 I think specifically with the 05+ models. They have gotten them to work on some and sometimes not on others. I dont know if Jerry has fully worked out the kinks. I plan on buying the eurotuner V2.0 soon

1-Anybody have any thoughts on how this tune would compare with the PowerChip tune for the E320 M112 motor?
2-Is the deal still available Jerry?
3-Any details on removing the ECU from a E Class 2002 estate?

Jerry, what are the specific differences between your tune for the E320 m112 and what Powerchip offers? Any details would be appreciated so an order can be placed. Also is the price 299$ w/o the cable and mailed to you?

Our tune costs less, otherwise they're very similar for an overstock tune. Yes, the tune without the cable is $299, but by the time you pay for expedited shipping to and from, it's the same as buying a cable. And, your vehicle won't be down for 3 days while your ecu is in the mail.

How much for shipping to Canada, specifically Ottawa, On?
If i get that wire for 399.. is that all I need to reset the ECU? This mod sounds very interesting, i have a 2005 c230 1.8l
