Eurocharged Tune Crackles

Just got back from getting a Eurocharged tune and the crackles are now absolutely insane. They occur just when they did stock but now the sound is so much more loud and ferocious.

Is this typical from a tune or did Jerry sprinkle in something a little extra?


Apologies for the somewhat crappy video, first clip was recorded on my phone and the others with the dashcam.

I want that but worry about warranty. That's very similar to the none muffled crackles of the none updated software.

I have/had the non updated software anyway, the crackles from this tune take them to a completely different level.

Boo updated software! I ran my car hard today and the upshift bangs are so quiet. Deeper rumble at low end and while engine is hot though.

Nope, it's currently for sale.

The RaceChip was fantastic for the price and ease of use/install, but I just thought it was time to go for the full tune.

Performance exhaust has a button to open or close the flaps on the center control panel.

so how much faster does your car feel after a full tune vs when you were using Racechip GTS?

Tough to say, haven't really driven it hard yet.

Just got a Dragy though so will be able to do some runs - the best I got with the racechip was 3.8 to 60.

Best I could get with Dragy tonight was 3.59 (not verified due to -1.1% slope). The car was fighting for traction like crazy though so will try again when it is a bit warmer.

3.8 with a racechip? thats impressive, you driving c43 or c450 ?

I got the racechip that was before the GTS model, and couldn't do lower than 4.3, with getting eurocharged I best what i have managed to do was 3.92, but may be the weather was not good enough...

Submitted a 3.68 0 to 60, 2.5% slope and a 7.63 1/8th mile to Dragy.

Getting the launch right is tough, the car definitely has a sub 3.5 in it, but I either wheel spin or the first shift is slow and clunky (this is all with automatic shifting).

Will I get better times shifting manually?

This sounds good. Did this ever cause any issues to the vehicle? I'm thinking about getting a stage 1 tune from Eurocharge to enhance the crackles but don't want to risk any major damage.
