The guys at Eurocharged are great and continually answer my endless questions and I hope they would have mentioned this issue if I was calling them with my credit card number.

Im in Australia so can you imagine pulling your car apart, sending you ecu overseas, refitting it and finding out there's an issue with the tune and have to go through the whole process again.

As as much as I want to get this tune done now, I think I'll have to wait for both of your updates to ensure that your cars are running 100% with no issues before I go forward with this.

Keep me posted and post up some pics and vids of your car so we can all check it out.

Oh yeah, do you have your dyno graphs for us to see?
I get that, being overseas. I would definitely wait for eurocharged rather than someone else's. Also get the downpipes

Mine is/was running great. Mine is actually back at Eurocharged getting additional upgrades. We are going to try out the PURE Turbo upgrade package and see what happens. Should be back up and running in a couple days with upgraded turbos.

However, it is my understanding that the distronic issue has been resolved and jkob's car has received the fix. So I will defer to him on that topic until I get my car back in a week or so and can tell you first hand.

Again, my experience with these guys at Eurocharged over the past several years has been fantastic. They take the time to do things right and if there is an issue they take care of it without incident.

Are y'all still having this issue? Mine is doing the same thing and just wanted to know if y'all got it fixed and what had to be done to fix it! Thanks!

You'll love the coupe. If you're local to houston I'd be happy to show you what the downpipes and tune do for the car.

Hows your coupe going jkob?

Running my sedan on the dyno tomorrow down the Gold Coast to get my base line figures before down pipes and tune get done.

Did Eurocharged give you the option of relocating your ECU when working on your car?

Car is running great. Car is a joy other than that pesky distronic issue, almost got rear ended because of it. Would be nice if I could at least use regular cruise control.

Yes ecu location was an option, but there's no hiding that if you car visits a dealer.

Hey Scar,

Heading to Hi Torque Performance for my dyno...

Got Mikes Custom downpipes and had them ceramic coated inside and out.

And still undecided weather to go with Eurocharged tune or International Autohaus's custom Evo Tech tune.

Euro Tune will pull and replace the ECU & fit the downpipes.

Have you had anything done?

What and Where?

Almost got rear ended person behind me swerved at last minute.

I didn't want the ecu relocated, at least at this point, so I didn't ask about cost.

Yes I went with the Pure Turbos and EC installed and did the tune. Made 590whp on pump gas (93 oct). They couldn't really get a good torque reading due to wheel spin on the dyno but Philip says he is sure it is over 600lbs. They still have some dialing in to do on the tune but overall I am happy. It is my understanding they are ordering a set for their shop car to do some development. I will keep you posted and post a dyno graph for you tomorrow.

Thats Awesome...Congrates

What a beast you've got now.

Is Phil happy with the results from the Pure Turbos?

Dis you do a dyno run before the turbos went on?

Cant wait to see your new dyno graphs.

Hey RDO,
All I've done so far is KW HAS kit... have some wheels arriving in the next week or so, and was planning on doing ECU while they fit the wheels.

I've used MR Tuning at Yatala so far for my work.

I think they use the evolve tune which is just a rebranded PP Performance tune.
