Question Eurocharged Stage 1 - How do they tune / map the car?

Hi all,

Will be purchasing a stage 1 upgrade soon with 180mm pulley and ECU tune. I take it they just flash the stock ECU?

Is there no way they can live map the car on a dyno or would I be better tuning somewhere in England?

I don't want a random file flashed to the ECU as the climate is very different here and there will be many many variables between cars, how can they perfect the tune?

Anyone who has done this it would be really appreciated if you could give me more info.

Mods will be K&N, modified exhaust, circa 15psi, Johnson pump, UK weather

Cheers

They should be able to dyno tune anywhere in the world I would guess. I am currently running an EC dyno tune. My car was on a dyno in Chicago and Jerry the EC tune guru was in Houston telling the dyno folks what values to adjust. hopefully, Brabus786 can help you with this.

good luck

Toby I have an almost new SL55 charger pump OEM that came off my car after only 2,000 miles when I changed my front bumper I went with a Johnson.

If you want it its yours for £50 and Im just up the road. C.
