Thumbs up Eurocharged Tuning (re tuned) Review

Been 4-5 months with the EC tune, and loving it! (like Micky D's lol) Just wanted to give a super big shout out and thanks to Jerry and Adam over at Eurocharged! I did a few more mods, hence needed to be retuned, and Jerry/Adam were SUPER patient (like 4-5 hours!) with me, and tuning my car back and forth and getting the AFR's down pat. Since yesterdays tune, the car pulls even harder than before, mpg has increased and gained an additional 25whp, 30wtq, on a safe 91oct tune! Will be going to the track shortly and see how this beast does!

For anyone else considering getting tuned, Jerry is the man to talk to!
Thanks Jerry, and Adam!

Incase anyone wondering mods:
168 Kleeman pulley
2nd cat delete, xpipe, resonator delete, cutouts, e63 mufflers
Bigger HE, split cooling
Throttle body mod

Probably will add some Kleemann headers or do a 175 in the next few months...

Evolved8's car is an inspiration... 507whp, 570wtq tuned by EC

100% agreed. I've had nothing but fantastic experiences with EC and their 3 different tunes with my car.

OK all this is ECU tuning.

100% agree, Jerry and the EC crew are phenomenal. With just a 185 pulley and TTM injectors/rail I put down 470/540 on a Mustang dyno. Looking forward to getting the longtubes as well.

Yeah I would be curious if anyone has the TCU tune and if it was worth it or not, especially for shifting because anything faster than what we have would be good. It would be interesting if there are noticeable differences on how the car drives with it done.

Haha, I would like to here some results from maybe a customer, of course you will say it rocks!

Perhaps some video of the shifting if there aren't people out there who are running it with testimonials?

I will be sure to check their join date, make sure it isn't August/2011 haha, j/k I really would love to see a nice improvement in the shifting though and then the other things addressed would be a bonus.

One of these days I would like to get the car tuned a little more aggresive too as well as add some meth injection, the tranny deal would just finish it off.

The dudes from Eurocharged have always been great.

Im a repeat customer, but as for the TCU tune, I dont really notice quicker shifts at full throttle.

I will say around town, maybe feeling a little frisky on the gas, they seem a tad quicker/crisper, but at true WOT, it feels the same.

I say this out of respect, Im not bashing, not hating, Jerry and co.is the man - just stating my findings. I didnt get any quicker in the 1/4 after it, in fact, I sent a PM to loungn14 about it because my 2-3 shift was bad news bears all night - but he responded quickly and my trans probably needed more adapting after a battery disconnect. Regardless, even before that, nothing to write home about in terms of quickness gained.

I repeat, this is just my opinion - I will never openly complain about it, love the ecu tune, just dont feel the tcu did much. I thought it would be closer to the c63 quickness, but it felt the same.

Maybe I need a redo?

uh, you have our tcu tune? I am just wondering if you are getting confused.

We do modify some trans settings in the ecu as part of our normal tune.

Our TCU tune, requires the TCU module (not ecu) shipped to be tuned and sent back. (can't do via obd2) I don't remember you getting this done, but I could be mistaken?

I am in HK, I got the tune from Jerry too, the car feel a lot more responsive and so much powerful than before. But I just got a little problem that I think the fuel while low RPM city driving is very rich, I can even smell the fuel from the exhaust. This only happen when driving about 30 mins in stop and go traffic and with about 1/3 gas left in the tank, anyone experienced this? P.S I changed the whole fuel tank 2 months ago due to the fuel smell.

Sounds like the guys at EC have a great new MOD.
