Eurocharged TCU tune and Supercharger pulley
Hey all,
I got my tcu and supercharger pulley yesterday from eurocharged. Overall the power is great. The tcu is still adapting to my driving style so the shifts are getting smoother ad better. At first it was quite jerky, but the more I seem to drive the smoother it gets. So far I'm pretty happy with the manual mode as it gives you much more control of the gears. There are still safety guards in place which is perfect.
The pulley has definitely given me more power as well. I'm bot sure if its the pulley or the tcu but the low end torque is much improved. Installation is very easy, at least it was for nme. The car pulls much harder. I do NOT have an exude tune yet, as eurocharged stated that I didn't need one. Can anyone else confirm? Is hate to be smashing on my car if I need a tune.
Both the mods were slightly expensive. But as of now, I think they were worth it.
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask!

It should be safe without the tune, but you will get a lot more power with one. If you go with something like a 185 pulley, then you will need a tune for sure.

I hit up the dyno yesterday and put down 375 rwhp with the cold weather we've got now. With the planned cooling mods and headers with high flow cats I'm shooting for 400. The top end power is just nasty!

Same dyno I always use, Eurocharged's Dyno Dynamics. Current mods include SL55 Boxes and Splitter with K&N filters and custom intake tubes. Full exhaust work with secondary cat and resonator removal, dual 2.5" pipe from the primary cats through a Dynomax X-Flo muffler, Eurocharged Supercharger Pulley/ECU Tune/TCU Tune.
When we get our lazy butts around to installing the rest of my mods I'm confident we can break 400 rwhp.

Hey Guys, Update...
So I've put a few miles on the car now and I'm noticing a few things.
Low End Torque- Very Good!
MPG- Went down at least 3 MPG. Thats even with me short shifting at 2k EVERYTIME. I could easily do 19 around the city before, now I'm doing 16.3 MPG.
Torque Converter Jerk- At first I thought it was gone. I went like fifty or so miles with out it, but now it's back. I would say though that it has reduced it, but I just thought I would let you guys know since it's a problem people are trying to fix.
If I notice any other things, I'll let you guys know.
