Where should i flash my ecu?

If i am getting a custom full exhaust, euro spec intake covers, evosport pulleys, who should i pay to get my ecu upgraded without the cel issues?

Custom? Eurocharged? Vaeth? Kleemann? Renntech? Powerchip?

Everyone will have their favorites, but I can tell you the ones I know first hand.

MHP
Kleeman
Asura Design
Singh
Renntech
Powerchip

They are all very similar in power output, however some do take different approaches in terms of what they alter/manipulate, to the A/F numbers etc. I have datalogged each one, and I know exactly what they are doing, they each have their own ideas as to why they do what they do..It will boil down to price and who you feel comfortable with.
Prices go as low as $1250 for the Asura, up to MHP at $5000.

Actually they have a sale going on for the MHP setup for $3,500 and get 80 rwhp and 30rwtq gains. No one else can claim that high of a delta curve. PM me and I will be glad to pass on some more info.

Kleemann all the way bro. Best customer service too! I just had my dam dealer reflash my ecu back to stock on service B and Kleemann inmediately reflashed it back free of charge. Talk to Cory if you decide to go with them

Brian since you have datalogged each of the tunes and claim that they each have very similar power outputs, care to share the results of each tune???? And what do you consider to be "very similar" power output?

Brabus... too expensive!

if i have that money, i rather spend more to get a clk63 or sl63...

vaeth and kleemann seem like the way to go, and almost never heard any bad about them... k1 is $1450 right? how about vaeth? will they both custom tune to match my aftermarket parts?

why did someone claim that all the tunes are the similar?
as far as i know, vaeth has a tune with almost 20hp more than mhp...
eurocharged is very unreliable...

mercedes computers are very sensitive and complicated in my opinion...

There is no way in hell anyone can justify $3500" special discount price" for a tune.

Kleemanns.... I the car pulls like a train and the customer service is the best (Cory).
You can talk to him and ask as many questions as you want and he will always have time to answer all of them.

So how much horsepower does the Vath tune make? what is the cost of a Vath tune? and where can you purchase it?

Has anyone gotten a tune from DC Performance in Los Angeles? they tuned my viper and they also do custom tunes for AMG vehicles. I talked to Dan Craigin the owner and he quoted me this:

[On the C55 AMG] We see a power gain of about 10-15 horsepower but the main difference is the throttle response, top end acceleration and speed limiter is removed. We tune the car on the dyno and takes about 3 days to complete. We charge $750 for the custom tune!
