ECU Torque/Load Limiter Problem...
I'm interested in buying a 2005 or 2006 E55 with the intent to mod, but this ECU Reflash problem is worrying me a lot. I have a few questions for those of you who suffered through this ordeal (or those of you who knows a great deal about it)...
1) Is it certain that the problem is from the ECU re-flash?
2) If it is a limiter hidden somewhere in the ECU, can the limiter itself be modified or pushed to a higher limit?
3) Is there any remedy or "cure" for this problem?
4) Can it be undone? If so, how and how much does it cost?
Thanks...

No longer stock '06 E55, A3 3.2 Quattro, GLE 400d, R107 280SL, Golf Polo
Well in my '06 with ASP pulley the thing is a freight train ... ECU is stock - for now.
My friend had the recall done on his '04 SL this week and its still flies with ASP pulley in situ...

How about effects on modded cars?
I know there is almost NO EFFECT on the car post ECU recall if the car is STOCK. But what I meant to ask is if anybody with modded cars (Kleemann stage 1/2/3/4, RennTech stage 1/2/3/4, etc..) experienced a loss of power due to the torque limiter that was (aparently) added to the ECU after the re-call? And is there any solution for this problem?
