Ecu in toronto

Hello all. Im new to the forum and just wondering where is a good place for ecu tuning in Toronto or GTA area. recently purchased a c300 RWD with the dynamic handling pkg. Also with the amg sport pkg and paddle shift steering wheel.I feel the response of the car could be a bit better with some tuning. Thanks and hope this forum gives me some knowledge.

Im sure if we get 5 -6 guys together he will drop the price. I will also give him a free dinner at my restaurant to help the cause. So lets see what we can do. Im due to do it tomorrow night but I will hold off if we can get some kind of a group buy.

eurocharged

Went and got the eurocharge done last night, In my opinion well worth the money even if you do not gain any hp at all. The throttle response is much better, rpms got raised by 500 rpms and im sure you pick up at least 15-20 horspower, they claim around 25-30 hp gains, I was told to drive to the car for a while a bit hard for the ecu to learn the tune and that was also very helpful. after driving for a while you really notice a solid gain in performance of the line and between 3500- 6000 rpms. Thanks Mike for coming over and setting this up,

Ya I looked into that too but i still have extended warrenty until 2014, I think, so the sprint booster will void that. The flash goes undetected and gives hp and tourqe gains as well that's why I'm leaning that way.

Ya that's the idea but by the sounds of it we may not get a huge deal. Just gonna try and gather people with car types so I can go to him and get some pricing. Whether it will fly or not dont know yet
