The TCU tune works completely independently of any mechanical VB modification. In fact, I don't know that Weistec even offers it any longer, and to my knowledge they were the only ones who did (and only for a short time). Bottom line is the TCU tune is well proven and it will do all the things it advertises. It won't cause adverse or accelerated wear in the trans just by having it. The end user may cause this accelerated wear, by driving the car harder, racing more, launching more on sticky tires, or whatever. The tune has nothing to do with that

It's kind of like when people ask "will my gas mileage go down after the tune?" The answer is, of course: It depends on how you drive the car! If your intention is to drive faster and harder, then yes, you will use more fuel...But if you drive the exact same way you do now? There will be no change. This tune is considered "Stage 1" which raises the tq limits up a nice bit, but is still safe for the hard parts, all while still yielding great results. The M156's don't make a lot of torque (as compared to an M157), so it will be much easier on their transmissions.

It's also not "new", this tune has been around for about a decade, and is the same white label tuner that ALL of the big names use...

Hope this clears some stuff

Thanks

Dave

Yeah, I should’ve said that I LOVE the TCU/VB tune combo. Money well spent.

I know that this will probably stir things up... But some in the M157 world feel that's it's more valuable than even an ECU tune as the first mod... I'm doing the TCU tune on a bone stock 2014 E63s later this week, and I'll have some before and after results. I expect it will be pretty amazing.

Thanks!

Dave gave some good info above. This is available for the platform, for MCT and NON MCT. Anyone who needs help can contact me within the northeast region of the country, outside of there, Dave is taking care of many cities as seen above

As mentioned, and when pertaining to eurocharge, this isnt a general eurocharge offering, this is exclusive to Dave from eurocharge ATX only.

Responding to the clutch wear comment: Raising line pressure and clutch clamping force will only help the clutches when dealing with high TQ situations and cars above stock level power. For cars that have a ECU tune, IMO an TCU tune is the perfect compliment to help The two work together in harmony to produce great results. We have been denied this part of tuning for some time now, as the rest of the world has enjoyed its benefits, but i think many will come to love having the Powertrain fully tuned and working together for a very enjoyable driving experience esp for us enthusiasts. Flash is done via obd, on site via laptop, remotely from Germany.

No, this is not from him.

Maybe a small correction there, That might be GAD tuning with the fastest amg’s in the world.

What does gads car do 60 to 130 in? Kirk's has 5.09 and a w205 full weight c63 doing mid 9s at 145 in the quarter mile here in the states.

He has a 4 liter blower and cams on a w204 c63 right now in tuning.

So if 0-60 goes down by 0.3 seconds than how come 1/4 mile goes down by only 0.2 second? 1/4 mile time should go down by at least 0.3 sec or more. Am I missing something? Sorry I do not want to offend anyone. This is just a thought that came to my mind reading the claims.

Anyways thank you EC for the tune. Would love to know if it would work on PFL with torque converter?

Yes you are missing something.
Acceleration vs Distance.

Care to explain??

You would do 0-60 when running 1/4 mile. Also if shifting is faster, technically you should shave more than 0.3 seconds over the distance as you would have atleast three shifting events, which in theory would be faster than before.

So to get to the distance that you tracked on the .3s slower run may take you another .1s or so and thus your quarter mile time for example isn’t the .3 seconds faster you would think it should be

DavesMeanE's, I saw this asked earlier, but didn't see it explicitly answered in the thread:

Does this TCU flash also improve (reduce) the delay when using the paddle shifters? Thanks for all the info and explanations!
