Honest testimonials from C63 owner's with EuroCharged Tune

Now that my warranty is up, I'm looking to get the tune for stock C63 AMG.

For those with fully stock C63 with only the EuroCharged tune, what are your thoughts on the performance? How long have you had it? Any issues?

Wait, are all the other 8 million Eurocharged tune thread testimonials dishonest?

I had the V5 on my ML63, and it really woke this beast up... so much so I hated to drive it with stock tune. I will say I did encounter some drivability issues in stop-go traffic which resulted in some jerky adaptations..... If I reset adaptations it went away for a while, then creeped back in. If you tried to drive with easy inputs from 20-30mph in stop-go traffic I got some weird results.... jerky power.... if you hammered it. all was good. This nuisance went away when I flashed back to stock, but I lost all that power too. I'm sure my ML63 experience was an anamoly and any bugs have been worked out.

I had the V5 on my ML63 and it was a bulletproof tune. Beat a Lamborghini Gallardo with minor mods. It's a monster tune. I had zero such issues, must have been an anomaly

Tune alone is good for 540-550hp... With ROW, filters and few other tweaks it's all the power you will ever need

I have also had my tune for about 1 year now. Top notch service. Just bring it to Eurocharged Canada on Supertest Road in North York or if they still have the MB World group buy. If you're a member on MBTrueNorth Facebook you might get 10% off.

I have been running Eurocharged for over 3 years (updated to V5) - excellent communication and product. Stop worrying and just do it.

A quick search of this forum will confirm that most customers are very happy.

It's too bad you waited so long to get it, don't let a warranty stop you lol.. Man up

V5 tune is well worth it. Only issue, if you even want to call it an issue is on a random occasion, it sometimes has a bit of jerkiness when in S+ mode, and slightly hitting the gas when going slow. I.e. parking lots...

The jerkiness is definitely annoying.

Would prefer they didn't fiddle with the throttle map.

I dont have the tune but still have the jerkiness on S mode on slow speed/ traffic.
I think it is the transmission shifting back and forth on 1st gear and 2nd gear.

how much more jerkiness in C and S? (S+ I don't mind).
Planned to go get the tuned done next week, funny timing to see this 8Million+1 thread talking about v5.

I've had my tune for about a year and I've been very happy with it. Install was a little tricky. I put the car on the dyno a few days ago, the video is posted below so you can see the results. It's too bad the dyno is almost as loud as the car!

The jerkiness really depends on how you drive and how much you let it warm up. I used to get the jerkiness a little bit, but I drive in M the whole time. I really wouldn't worry about that since it's non existent in C, S or S+.

Sent my tune file to Eurocharged night of 8/9 and got the tune back next morning on 8/10. Just flashed my V5 tune yesterday afternoon. Can't believe I waited so long to do it, it wakes up the car 250%!

Throttle response is much better, no more delay on the gas pedal. Snaps your head back pretty hard if you mash on it, and the power gain is VERY noticeable. On sport handling mode, the car almost couldn't keep up with the wheelspin (usually limits the wheelspin to a split second). The V5 downshift blips sound like thunder bolts, it's intoxicating!

Car feels like an absolute animal with the V5 tune, so happy I went with Eurocharged. Haven't taken her on the highway yet, but will do so this weekend and really stretch her legs. Do not hesitate to order the V5 tune, you will not regret it.

I wouldn't say it is all that extreme. All in all it adds about 50hp to the wheels. Look at all the dyno charts out there. I got the same results. The car went from 378whp stock to 431whp with tune only. Yes, it's a noticeable difference and yes IT IS worth the money for sure, BUT some of you make it sound like it makes the car feel like its supercharged almost. It wakes it up, makes it more responsive, noticeably quicker. That's it. The car doesn't start braking passengers' necks with the tune, it doesn't take the air out of your lungs when you floor it, and no your passengers will not pass out from the super high Gs the car generates... none of that. It just makes it more alive and overall more enjoyable.
A tune for an Audi RS7 makes it go from fast to crazy fast, for example. A tune for a GTR makes it a completely different car. Talk about an animal there. A tune for a N/A car can wake it up a bit but you can never expect miracles.

I just got the tune done this afternoon...I feel I am calmer than I should be.
My sense is probably a bit duller than most, although I FELT the car has a lot sharper throttle response and crispier shifts which I love, I need to experience the WOT a few more times to really feel the power gain.

I gotta say, the C mode (wife mode) did get touchier too, but not to a point it is annoying, I got used to it right away. and man do I love the blips, I upshift only to downshift...

I got a feeling I might say something different the more times I try it, a 20 minutes drive wasn't possibly enough.

I've had the Eurocharged V5 on my car for a little over a month. Mods are: fully catless Agency Power exhaust, K&N filters, and the "ROW" airbox mod. The tune definitely gained some power and the downshifts are just insane sounding. I couldn't recommend it enough.

Agreed. Most noticeable driveability difference is the throttle sensitivity. After the tune the throttle from a stop is especially sensitive (even in C).
