Hi-

I was wondering if anyone is local that has installed one of these that could help out? I am not handy with vehicles and there are several connectors.

Thanks,
Mike

Just wanted to give a shout out to bgm130 for installing the VR Tune on my C450. Pleasure meeting you Brent and thanks again for helping me out.

That is what these forums are all about. Next up BOV spacers, just ordered!

2017 C63S Convertible
Hi, I'm new to the forum and interested in ECU tune from Eurocharged or piggyback VR tune. Just picked up C63s Edition 1 Convertible and love it!
Any feedback on your experience w the VR piggyback tune would be appreciated.
What are the pluses and minuses of the piggyback tune vs ECU reprogramming?

Thanks
