AMR vs Eurocharged C450 Handheld ECU Tune
In the process of trying to order a handheld ECU tune for my C450 and narrowed it down to two companies, AMR vs Eurocharged. Both seem t be one of the best in the industry. Any pros/cons of both that you encountered? Can't seem to decide on which to pull the trigger. Thank you for your feedback.

In my opinion, the AMR comport Rv3.1 is the best and safest tune you can get. On their dyno graphs, i believe you make 100+ whp with the Rv3.1 and it cost like $1800. Eurocharge is a great company too but it honestly comes down to what you want out of the tune and the cost. I'm pretty sure AMR is also the only tuning company right now, that can give us 100+ whp. I have DME tuning and they advertise 120+ hp to crank for like $1500.

^ can you confirm what one of the posts said about claimed whp gains? If AMR is making +100 whp, what whp does Eurocharge tune offer ?

Just compare the dyno graphs with each other. I was the one that said that the AMR comport Rv3.1 makes 100+ whp, and I got this information from a friend, he is an AMR Ambassador for North Cali.

Why is the upgrade $500 more for a C400 vs C450/C43?

Eurocharged cars seem to perform better.
All the fastest C43s are Eurocharged , then Jb4, on dragy. I have been a dragy user since June 19 and barely see AMR cars posting any times.

I am not referring to Jeffrey's car with WMI etc.
But the many EC stage 1/2 cars ( and some JB4s) with multiple 0-60 and 1/4 mile times posted on Dragy , in the 3.4- 3.7 region and 11.4- 11.7 region, including my own.
One can look at the monthly tables there are very few AMR cars posting at all.
All I mainly see from AMR is videos of 3rd gear pops and bangs. Very few or no dynos or dragy runs. Perhaps the target market is a more casual , younger clientele?
Yes I have had teething problems, mine was one of the first facelifts to be tuned- back in June 2019 and being an EU car it also had a very restrictive OPF which NA and Asian cars so not.
They car went back for several dynos and I had new maps to fix it at no extra cost.
The recent issue of high IATs in the Summer causing occasional boost cut is due to me running a Decat , high boost map on a car without a decat, and it was me who requested it.
The higher boost facing the backpressure of the cats, sometimes caused IATs to go too high.
Now that I am fitting the 6.3L Wagner Cooler this should be resolved.
Also I am intrigued as to why AMR have no evidence to show of the supposes 4 cars that they have fitted & tuned the wagner coolers on. Surely it is something to be proud of abd show / market to potential customers?
Wagner tuning own website stated Sept 9 release so I am not sure how you got them faster than me 🤔.
The deal by AMR was only posted end of August...
yet not one dyno or even picture of one fitted

I've also been contemplating Eurocharged since there's a location not too far from me.

So I have had eurocharged stage 1 for about 1000 km now and no complaints. Car drives well, just more powerful all around. As a comparison, my best 0-60 was 4.7 stock and my best with eurocharged has been 4.1 with 94 octane. I haven't done too many runs and I suspect I can hit 4.0 with the right weather conditions. I'm going to be stage 2 very soon, with downpipes, and I can update you with the gains of the stage 2 by the end of next week if you like. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Where are you from? Sorry, on my phone so it doesn't state where you're located. I figured Stage 1 would at least break 4 seconds, I don't plan on getting downpipes. I'm on JB4 Map 6 running 93 Oct and it's plenty quick yet you know how we always itch and beg for more power...

Sounds good! Thanks for the info. Eurocharged Austin is about 1.5 hours from me and maybe 15 minutes from a friend's house so that would be where I'd to.
