The Evosport ODPS # EVO.ODP.M03.001, chip later?
If one installs the Evosport ODPS # EVO.ODP.M03.001 now, how much to add the chip later? The ODPS is currently $1499, according to the website.
Is the Stage I ECU optimized for the ODPS, or is it just the normal $999 Powerchip?
One would expect the Stage I ECU to be optimized for the ODPS/IC res mod.
Also, are there any ECU programs available for getting the transmission to enter downshift on more moderate throttle & upshift on moderate throttle?

The $1499 special was intended only for the month of January - after numerous requests, we will be extending the special on the ODPS kit for a short while longer.
While our products can be purchased and installed separately, they we designed to work together in order to achieve maximum HP, reliably and safely.
You are correct, we have software written specifically for the power pulleys in order to make additional boost. The software is good for about an additional 20-22hp over the ODPS alone. There is almost no reason not to opt for the software as well. Keep in mind - there are 2 different software packages for the C32.
While the $999 software on the website can be used for our ODPS kit, it is not written specifically for the pulleys, it is intended to . The software will reach it's adaptive limits in no time. The software, if purchased separately is $1290.
As for software for the transmission, nothing is available at this moment, but that's not to say it is not in the works. We at evosport are hard at work on finding more HP from the C32!
Any questions are welcome, feel free to post here or contact me directly.

The software will simply allow your C32 to provide additional boost - taking full advantage of the ODPS kit . We have worked long and hard with Powerchips in order to offer software that has been specifically programmed for the ODPS!
The ODPS will allow considerable HP gains (about 30HP), the software (about 20HP) is simply icing on the cake. One item without the other will cause no harm to your particular vehicle - no need to worry at all.
The special deal is to simply invite others to purchase our parts at a reduced rate, saving $$ for additional mods on your C32!

Ok, next question.
How much stuff has to be removed for the ODPS & Res Mod?
Does the crank pulley get changed?
I suppose this takes about 6-8 hours, the first time?

It wasn't clear if that was just sales talk or that a greater degree of reliablity and safety would be found by installing them together as stated.
Glad to hear that there are no concerns in installing the ODPS on its own. Thanks for the quick reply!

The ODPS installation is a somewhat complex procedure, depending on the vehicle, the front bumper must be removed sometimes in order to access the washer bottle and other items.
The crankshaft pulley is changed in the ODPS - the process takes about 8 hours total (depending on the vehicle's previous modifications), including a thorough go-over once the vehicle is completed and bleeding the air from the cooling system.
Once everything in in good order - the clean bill of health is issued and the C32 is returned!

AWDman, I think I saw your car at West Farms mall one day... Anyways, I have been looking for a qualified installer of performance accessories for a while here in CT. None! A friend suggested a place in Boston, they specialize in German auto, abundant BMW and Porsche tunnings. Maybe they can do Mercs?

Crank pulley & self Install ODPS+Res
If the crank pulley gets changed, does the harmonic balancer get removed or the main crank bolt holding on the harmonic balancer?
How many people have ordered the ODPS+ res mod & self installed them?
How much hacking up of the stock shrouding occurs?
Must remove the front bumper & bumper cover? Or just the bumper cover?
Thanks for your time.

2-3 weeks to remove vmax?
The web site says:
2-3 weeks seems a bit excessive. Is this really true? Whats going on with vmax, is some sort of brute-force decryption required?
(1) ECU remap normally takes one day. Please allow time for shipping.
(2) ECU remap with Vmax (top speed) removal requires 2-3 weeks for completion. Please allow time for shipping.

I'd like to know what places in TX Evosport would use for installation of the mods. Also, if they are done by an Evosport-recommended place, would Evosport support the work and any issues later on?

Once your computer is received by evosport, we can typically have the ECU backed up, cleared out, programmed and returned to your doorstep within 2-3 days.
BTW - the VMAX is raised to 303 kilometers during reprogramming in case you were inquiring

Some people have attempted the modification themselves, however while the instructions are as detailed as possible, we highly recommend having a qualified technician performing the install for you.
Very little trimming of the stock shroud is trimmed. Just what is needed.
Some vehicles require removal of the front bumper in order to gain better access to the reservoir and pulleys.
If you have any further questions, please contact me here or offline!

I'm currently putting together a list of repair facilities/tuners in the meantime we can recommend for installation.
