Hey guys! I am narrowing down the options for my software upgrade

I have looked into a few companies and I have pretty much narrowed it down to AMR Performance and Eurocharged Performance.

I figured starting this thread would be easier than awkwardly trying to dm all of you to get your input and review of your products haha.

I want to say I am leaning towards AMR because of the power and very positive reviews I have seen, but I am not quite sure yet. I have heard positive about Eurocharged as well, however, AMR is giving me a better vibe if that makes sense.

Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

FYI, you're not going to get any helpful information, including this response.

This has been discussed and argued, mostly argued.

i dont think you can go wrong with any of the big 4.

AMR, OE, Euro, or JB piggy. Dinan may eventually come with something as well. just take whatever flavor you are feeling.

I currently have both of my vehicles tuned by AMR performance. Jaguar 5.0 and Mercedes C450 AMG. Couldn't be happier with the Mercedes. Made Huge difference and the vehicle is a completely different Animal.

I drove to their facility just cause I wanted to get the vehicle to the dyno. They went above and beyond to help me out.

Euro charged are also great people and I have dealt with them multiple times for tuning my cars. my experience was extremely satisfying.

Really it mostly depends on what you prefer and as someone else said you can't go wrong with any of them

I would suggest AMR also... they are great and I seem to get more chicks with the AMR tune than any other tune.. the babes love it!

Hey OP, go where you are most comfortable spending your money first and foremost. Then consider proof of each respective companies tune. Everyone here can say X is better than Y because of the good ol butt dyno. But quarter mile times don't lie. There is a member who ran his car at Atco with the jb1 plug and play system that ran the same time (if my memory serves me right) as the AMR tune and that cost 300 bucks opposed to the 2k from AMR. Some food for thought. Do some research and i'm sure you will gladly find the results you ask for.

Me, i personally went with Eurocharge based off of my experience from my last tune. They are great and i am very satisfied with my tune. I did have a CEL but that is non tune related. Hope this helps you out!

Even my wife has noticed I get a lot more girlfriends with the AMR tune!!! The strippers keep jumping in the car every weekend!

Same happens to me . AMR for the win! lol

Thanks for the input my friend! I looked into the JB1 and it seems the gentleman that took it to the track was around half a second slower than AMR. Price is not really a concern to me as I am just looking to a quality product with quality customer service to back it up.

After speaking with AMR and seeing as they have not a single negative review, I am choosing them for my upgrade. They were phenomenal to deal with over the phone and through email. Matt was more than helpful and after also speaking with their lead engineer, you can tell that they are not just another "tuning shop", which is the vibe I got everywhere else.

I would like to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice and I cannot wait to get this done!

Glad you made your decision bro. You will not be disappointed as they have a great product and service as well. Let us know how it goes!

How difficult is the AMR install? Will they reflash free if mb upgrade the chip contents during service?

I love my eurocharged tune. I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you choose. I personally picked my tuner based on reputation and proximity to me.

It is a very simple process. All you have to do is remove the ECU and send it to them. If you were curious, I used their removal guide to figure it out:

They informed me that Mercedes writing over the upgrade has not been an issue thus far, however, if that should happen, they would take care of it free of charge. I am very excited to ship them my ECU and enjoy the new power

Which tune did you request? What was the quote?

I'm interested in tuning my 17 C43 Coupe myself

17merc43

I purchase the C43 Ship in Ecu upgrade for $1999.99. Here is the link for you:

Through my research, this was the highest quality upgrade and would be my recommendation to anyone considering tuning their Mercedes

I'm more than happy with the OE Tune for the half of the price

17merc43

Glad you are happy! It just comes down to what you are more focused on. Price was the least of my concerns. I, personally, was focused on power output and the company backing their product. AMR warranties the motor and software and were just a pleasure to deal with. I am sure other companies offer a solid product, but I am confident and happy with my decision

alextoto25

Ditto !

Can you take your car to the track? Curious what the OE traps, it looks like a great tune, but numbers don't lie.

AMR just did 116.

threefirs

He has an acceleration video of his car.. it's a rocket.

threefirs

To each their own, you do what you're most comfortable with, right?

Just an FYI - Eurocharged offers a warranty also, not sure if OE does or not but I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

Regarding numbers.. well, nobody actually has dyno or track slips to prove their numbers. Lot of assumptions on this forum for a bunch of mail in tunes.

There has been 3x C43's that I've personally seen the dyno's for at Eurocharged, and they all dyno'd 20WTQ apart with the same file. All of our cars are different regardless of what a tuner promises over the phone.

Own, a pun, eh?

sliqdaddy91

I'm sure it does, not trying to start a war but what does it trap?

Post a slip sir!

DVision44

I took my car to AMR and posted a dyno sheet along with a video of the car on the dyno along time ago.

+90hp / +120tq

removedCFGaccount

Are AMR c450 numbers better than c43? Why?
