lol! The MCT is a know weak point for the C63. Between not being a real DCT and cooling issue that is a fact.
Now for normal street driving it is doing its job as it is supposed to. Are you tracking your car or planning on heavily modding?
Usually people upgrading their transmission via weistec do it because they have considerably change to power output of the car like a supercharger. And IMO that is the main purpose of upgrading the TCU/valve body. Because you have much more load to it due to the power increase.
If you have only a tune and headers you don't need this upgrade. Use instead that money into upgrading your cooling system.

airbox/pipes
airbox and pipe only for me , i believe i have enough at over 500 for this car .Lucky i still have a permit.... actually i was not thinking converter , just valve body an programming ,because i would like a bit firmer shifts . 2500 rpm converter i think in traffic is a bit too much . i do not have excessive heat problems seems ok ....just keep Windows up....

Yep, the MCT is the weak point. But because it's a automatic not a dual-clutch transmission you could leave it on S+ when you cruising on the highway. And when u push down the throttle it will goes to 3 gear directly from 7 gear. U couldn't do that to a dual-clutch bmw m5.

Actually I'm fine with the MCT, except the manual mode which I use most of the time. I wish I could go down/up several gears at once like I used to do with my DCT, and a couple other stuff.. But the shifts themselves are plenty fast for me, and it works well in D mode.
