Eurocharged visit
I was sent out to Texas a couple months back for work. Setting up a customer with one of our automated picking machines and I am staying past the go live date for support. My stay will end up being a minimum of 6 months. So in about a week I will be heading back to GA to retrieve Sophie, my C32.
I have been a member of the site for a while and have always heard great things about Eurocharged Performance and I have been wanting to get my car tuned after having a custom cut S/C pulley made for her. The pulley made a difference for sure but I know a tune would make it that much more fun to drive.
I had completely forgotten that Eurocharged was in Houston, which is just under a 4 hour drive from Fort Worth. So I reached out to them and once I get Sophie here I will be setting up an appt to go get her tuned.
I am definitely getting the ECU tune. I am highly considering the TCU tune as well and the heat exchanger. I will talk to Eurocharged about what they recommend but I wanted to reach out to you guys here as well and see if anyone had some recommendations on anything else. The car is not my daily driver anymore but I will be driving it 2-3 times a week to work and on the weekends some. I want the car to be reliable for long distance driving. I plan on taking it to Vegas to see my brother and it has to make the trip back home as well. Any input is greatly appreciated guys! I am looking forward at the chance to go visit Eurocharged's headquarters!
Thanks,
Andrew

Ecu tune and heat exchanger are a great idea and eurocharged are a fantastic shop. I would caution against the tcu tune- have a search on the forum and decide for yourself. I turned down a free one.

I did a search for the TCU and I ran across some posts where people were not highly suggesting it. I will talk to the guys at EC as well about it and see what flaws it poses etc.
I have been wanting the ECU tune for a couple years now but havent wanted to really remove it and ship it etc and then be without a car (not an issue now with the truck as my daily). I know that a tune matched with that pulley will wake that car up!
I am considering a crank pulley upgrade as well.
I want this car to be as reliable as it is currently but a lot more fun to drive.
