Removing C55 TCU for eurocharged!

Hey everyone I'm thinking of getting a eurocharged ECU/TCU upgrade all at once. I need some help on where the TCU is located and how it can be removed. ive searched but cant seem to find anything on where it is.

Please give me some feedback on if doing this upgrade is a good idea.

There have been two threads about the TCU. Mostly good but there have been some less than perfect experiences. Mainly people bouncing off the rev limiter which should never happen in an auto in my opinion. I don't think I have read anything bad about the ECU.

nope it doesn't.....blue tops are the replacement solinoids that some people are putting in to get a firmer shift. We do the same type of thing by increasing the line pressure in the tcu tuning, as well as some other fun changes.

Overall, the tcu tuning is a cool mod. I personally don't rev it that high 6.5k, I like to shift before. I haven't bounced off rev limiter but I have hit the torque limiter I'm second gear which sucks. I try not to hit it by shifting prior to 6.5k. If you can, have them set your rev limiter so that hit that before your torque limiter so you don't feel the torque limiter.
