notin is wrong, just do this, i can assure u of a dif animal by morning...
i have driven C for like 2k miles or so, one day i wanted to overtake someone, i said wat da eff, car was sluggish, after that day i only drive in S+
maybe what u can do is, after wify drives it and u need to drive it, drive like u stole it anytime u get space for that, so it keeps things in check

The beast is unleashed that was the ticket to unlock the secret powers. Worked like a charm . Took it out this morning and dam you can feel and hear the difrence. . The down shifts are loud and insane. People walking down the street were looking to see what was about to exhale them .. Thank

you also need to consider the fact that most of the power is coming from the potential the engine already has in it... since it's detuned from the factory...

Asked for my V5 update this morning - received my update this morning - flashed my update this morning! Thanks Jerry! Your customer service is impeccable.
I have only been on a brief city drive so far so I didn't have a chance to really push the engine to get a feel for some spirited driving but the downshift blips are heaven!

I'm also curious if the V5 tune is worth it on the p31, I know this topic has been beaten to death but just wanted to hear some on car experience from any p31 owners.
Also, I'm very curious about the talks about aggressive downshifts. When you drive in M mode, downshifts are already loud as hell stock, especially when you drop gears earlier. So I'm kind of confused how downshifts are affected by the tune in M-mode since loudness is really up to the timing of the shift isn't it? Also, more generally, could someone explain how the tune affects exhaust noise?

How about some empirical data and logs as to what this tune actually does?
These reviews are fun to read, and i appreciate them, but they all follow the same pattern. Your ears and butt aren't good indicators as to whether an engine is tuned properly and safely or not.
Stretched dyno graphs don't count either.

tofu - then how do you get data? The engines are fine with the tune, the tranny is fine too, if the trans can run a stage 2 blower for 1yr+ fine..a simple little blip is nothing ..idk why people worry so much on this forum lol, yeah it's an expensive-ish car (not really though you can buy a 2008 c63 for almost 25k) but it's not going to blow up in your face when you're driving down the highway if you have a tune

Outstanding review, OP.
I bought the MyGenius handheld device + tune from Eurocharged nearly a year ago but haven't installed the tune yet. I think it is finally time to contact Eurocharged to get the ball rolling. V5 sounds like a beast.
