Seems like a complicated process to be honest. I think id look for a shop that does tuning down here in South Fl and use this as a last resort. Thanks for the help

All you have to do is order the cable and buy the tune and you can do it in your garage with your laptop.

Don't they need to dyno my car for a baseline? Can the tune be reach maximum efficiency without it?

They do their basic tune for each model, it's just a reflash depending on your make and model. If you want to maximize it that's when you take it to one of their shops and do runs.

It's like kpro where they chip your ecu but they have saved basic tunes depending on what you have. When I had an ep3 they had base tunes for stock, one with exhaust intakes and headers, and one with a base tune for the greddy turbo.

So this tune does a basic tune of your model then if you want to increase as much hp as you can then you put it on a dyno and do pulls. But in my opinion this would require a more sophisticated stand alone system like AEM.

They just came out with a newer stand alone and I'm going to call them and see if it can work with our cars.

If I were to buy the cable and connect my laptop on to there, how do they tune it from my computer? Do I need some sort of program?

They talk to your ecu through your laptop. Don't overthink this.

Unless the Eurocharged stand-alone that Phister mentioned works, you're looking at a stock tune from any of the major players. That's all there is; no local tuner for you would be able to do more (though if they did, it would run much, much more than what these stock tunes cost).

You download a communication program that lets them control your computer and run their program to tune your car.

Yes, all very simple. Obviously, make sure you have internet access.

I did this a few years ago with their sale and it was a bargain. At the current price it's still a good deal. This transformed my C320...literally.

I think if they brought it down to 299 again, everyone would jump on that deal. But I guess it depends how bad they want volume vs profit sales.

Honestly it seems to over simplify the process by just mentioning connecting the laptop to the ECU. I'm just curious to know the details of the entire process. If I am going to spend hundreds of dollars on something, I would want everything to logically make sense regardless of whether many people have done it before or not

Did the $299 include this http://www.eurocharged.com/products/...g-cable-detail ?

Did you have to send the ECU in or did you do it remotely?

Hi,

Do you have any locations near Boca Raton FL where I could go to tune my 06 c230 sport?

*edit: I'd be interested in the laptop cable flash for night now , but later would like to dyno tune as I'd like to do the whole intake, headers, cat delete, exhaust combo.

Is that something you guys could do?

Thanks

James
