Eurocharged ECU Reflash C55
I just had Eurocharge reflash my ecu via internet without putting it on the dyno. It was a very easy process and takes about 30 minutes.
Results:
WOW! The tune woke the car up. The power from 2k-5k has a very noticable increase and it gained some up top. The throttle response is instant and the car still drives great!
The car now feels like it wants to "run away" from you when driving.
The modifications on my car are: K&N filters, resonator and secondary cat removal, and x-pipe.
I highly recommend this tune!
Thanks,
Derek Eshleman

ya ive been waiting over 2.5 months to get my tune, first i had the wrong tuning cable...then it took them 2 months to get their correct tuning cable to me...finally call back yesterday, and im told they dont have a shipping order with my name on it (so i wonder what happened to my credit card info that i gave the guy on the phone 2 months ago)...needless to say, I am quite dissapointed with the customer service from anyone in their shop outside management (although i even was dealing with jake, and he never even bothered to look to see if there was an order in my name, rather just kept feeding me BS excuses why i haven't received it yet)...nonetheless the new guy i talked to claimed to ship it out today so we'll see soon i hope

I must have been lucky because i ordered it online and 3 days later received the cable. Setup the appointment for the tune on the following Thursday and everything went smoothly with 0 issues.
If Ghiaguy, they have been sending you faulty cables?

Long story short- Got my C55 ecu reflash done tonight via text walkthrough and a generously loaned cable.
The car is sharpened significantly, and worth every penny of that $400. It pulls like its seriously pissed off.

I second that. Seriously nice to do that after so much headache when trying to flash your ecu.
Any chance you can take a picture of this cable? I'm very interested to know what is needed for flashing our cars. And this tune is something I'm very interested in. But not if its going to take a few cables shipped back and forth to get the job done.

they are just usb to OBDII cables, though i would only trust the ones shipped by Eurocharged. the secret sauce is this tune they tailor for your car & mods

I'm sure that's the case. I had two bad ones and thankfully was able to borrow a working one. Eurocharged has been good about sending out replacements, though they have a lot of 'bad batches'. maverik may have gotten a cable included with the tune @ $399 like I did.
