Each time before doing any thing ask the customer don't ask the company, the customer will tell you the troth

I have noticed several other Co's advertise chips for Merc's now such as Superchips, Upsolute, GIAC and Jet PErformance product for alot less money, I am hessitent about the purchase, I wish some magazine would do a chip shoot out.

upsolute

Upsolute gave me a quote for about $400~450 range.

First day:
They will unsolder the chip, download the code from the chip, email the code to Europe for fine-tuning, solider the chip back and let you go home.

Second visit:
Unsolder the old chip, put in the new fine-tuned chip, test and done!

I will do it in October after come back from vacation

Mercedes E320 , Lexus IS350
Anyone know how to remove the ECU from a E320 1994? It's behind the battery ... i can pull only HALF of the black cover off the ECU, but the other half is still stuck onto it ... I dont want to use too much force to pull it incase it's held down by something... anyone know?
