S210 E430 4matic with E55 engine, TCU issues

Hi

So i've just done a engine swap so my S210 has got some more power
I've been reading through 100 treads but haven't really got things answered...
So i have a facelift early 2000 model with ME2,0 and EGS1 and i'm trying to figure out how to upgrade the TCU to handle the new engine (ECU will get a E55 tune soon).
I have tiptronic
Diff 3.07
Gearbox 722.669

Do i need the TCU from a C43 2000 model to "move the files" over? Or is there some other way i can work around this so that it all works as it should.
Guessing getting the AMG TCU or file from the original E55 4Matic is something that won't happen

I recommend you check with the aftermarket tuners. There are several companies that offer TCU tunes. Perform an internet search and you should find several.

It's not that easy. Been in contact with a few and they can't do anything with the EGS1.
Even RennTech answered yesterday that they couldn't help me
