Central Texas e55 reprogram?

I just bought an 05 e55 with 32k miles. After a few pulls it seems like the supercharger disappears altogether. From reading a few posts it seems the OEM Intercooler setup is to blame?

Any reccomendations on a shop/vendor/someone in Austin/San Antonio or surrounding areas who can reprogram the computer?

Looking for reccomendations on which parts to buy as well. Looks like there area few companies with quality offerings.

TIA
Craig

Are you looking for an aftermarket program like Renntech or Kleemann for example? I am in Dallas and we can flash your ECU for you!

Your stock computer system will back out timing, boost etc at certain temps. I believe that is what you are feeling!

It sounds like you are experiencing intercooler pump failure. This is a relatively easy and inexpensive fix.

As for the tuning of your car, we can give it some incredible performance gains. We have several shops in TX that we work with, and at worst your car will be down for one to two days if you have to remove the ECU.

Take a look at our testimonials. http://www.veloceperformance.com/testimonial.htm

Let me know if I can help.
