Standalone Transmission Controller

I got the CLK running on a standalone TCU over the weekend. Is anyone else on here running a PCS unit? The tuneability is awesome!


Here's my writeup on the installation:

Super cool! Hadn't heard of Sound German Automotive before this, I am also in the area, good to know there is a local shop with this expertise.

How does this compare to a TCU tune from Eurocharged?

Apples and Oranges. This is a fully programmable standalone TCU, so I can hook my laptop up to it and tweak any parameter I want. It can store two configurations, so I can switch between a "street" and "strip" tune if I want.

Eurocharged (or any other tuner that reprograms the stock TCU) is giving you a static tune, meaning none of the parameters are adjustable unless you get another tune from the vendor. Honestly, I don't even know what they can change on the stock TCU.
