OEtuning or Eurocharged Tune??

i am planning on getting the car tuned soon and i would like to hear what you people think about both of the company's

gains? which one gets you more lets say from just tune or tune- pulley

also any horror stories with any of the company's?

most importantly any blown motors?

thanks i think a tune is what makes your car and i dont want to be another guy with a blown motor

i obviously searched, and i see people saying good things about both company`s but i wanted to hear from those that have problems sorry if this is annoying but a ecu tune is probably one of the most important things and can do alot of damage if its not done right

530whp Dyno tune for me from Jerry at EC. Jerry is meticulous, uses the best tools and I have witnessed many cars make great gains providing happy customers. Customer service from Jake and Jerry is beyond reproach.

..As for "blown motors" that is a stirring the pot question. I don't beleive either tuner has provided a tune that directly lead to a blown motor. Its so infrequent that I would say statistically insignificant. There are so many factors that can lead to that, the only one responsible is ultimate the the person who chooses to mod their car in the first place.

Bottom line choose a tuner and enjoy, these cars love it.

Legitimately You are 100% right But, what would you say if "your" car blows up days after that tuner touches your car? do you blame yourself?

In the other hand-
I have around 60 time slips..about 12 of them being in the 10s with a tune from OE TUNING and stock injectors FYI and motor is still strong

Good luck with whoever it is you choose


Love these threads..

thats the question im on m3 forums, infinity forums, this forum and ive read plenty of stories where people had the cars tuned, and blew motors or had new motors built and blew them up after a tune.Dont get me wrong it could have been built error and a million other things.

i am new to the benz world, and i am not that familiar with the companys that people use

in other words emoving, and alot of you guys know best and thats why i ask to hear it from you guys from the people that have been on here for a long time, and heard it all

I am going with OEtuning when I get my headers and extra cash! Just from reading many threads and with time they seem to have the best track record.

Everyone always has to make a thread though because they feel their car is different or something. News Flash..... A W211 AMG is a W211 AMG, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!!!

Very happy with my OE tuning tune. I have had 3 other tunes, and the OE tune is the best by far!! Tons of power, afrs and timing are very safe and the car just drives great on a daily basis.
