ECU tuner consensus
If any members have real-life experiences using any of these 3 tuners, I would appreciate your input on the pros or cons of them.
I'm considering Weistec VRP or Race IQ.
I'll have a secondary H.E with a 77 mm pulley.
Who should I use? Thanks

@03sl55amgmjd,
I am currently using a tune from VRP (tune is accomplished by V-Tech in Georgia (the country)).
Pros - Very responsive, appeared to be very precise regarding all modifications to car, car is running great.
Logged in remotely to my car to retrieve current ECU data.
They provided the original tune file as well as the new tune file (this may be typical, I do not know).
Cons - In Georgia, but is this really a con ?
The whole process took roughly 3 days.

We offer tunes from many different tuners across all Mercedes engines, Each tuner has its strength in different platforms, That's why we use V-tech for 55k, its hands down the best tune for the M113k no question.

Only company to tune Clutch Delete / Fixed Pulleys
Only Company to tune 105mm TBs
Countless Posts in the Facebook groups of people switching from "Enter Tuner name here" to Vtech with positive results.
If you want a conservative tune for a daily driver/ weekend car then Eurocharged is a great pick, Honestly if not going clutch delete or fixed pulley then EC is a great pic in general, Same With Race IQ, However I would never run a weistec tune on a 55k. If you want to continuously modify your 55k and you want the absolute most power out of it possible then stick with the Vtech Tune. If you ask me for M156 or biturbo cars, EC all the way, Again, Each tuner has their specialty. Nothing wrong with that. We Run EC on our CLA45 shop car.
Eurocharged also has a large customer service staff so their support is unmatched, Vtech is one guy and responses can be 2-3 days.
