My Car Is A BEAST!! (TCU Flash)

Just install the famous Eurocharged TCU flash for the 55. All I can say is that MY CAR IS A BEAST NOW! The shifts are lightning quick now! Thank you Jerry and Eurocharged for this really good mod. This is definately worth the money!

Good to hear you like it. Now post some vids of the 1-2 and 2-3 shift! Does it shift harder like it jolts you when it shifts (like a shift kit) or it just actually makes the shifts faster?

You get harder shifts that jolts you as well as shifting faster. I'll try and post some vids very soon!

Can you still drive the car like a "normal" person around town and get soft, part-throttle shifts? I like the idea of harder, faster shifts at maybe 3/4 throttle and WOT, but it getting my neck snapped EVERY time the car shifted during around town driving would get old in a hurry.

Videos are needed for sure.

The car drives fine around town. But I drive in M mode all the time. Video will be up tonight hopefully. I will be racing a E46 M3.

Hope it has a supercharger or turbo or it will be a massacre at slightly over half throttle.

It won't be a competition, just a friendly race between the two of us.

Thanks for the comment bro! I'm running really rich right now because of the HFC I installed a while back. I can't wait till Jeremy comes to the Bay Area again so he can update my tune.

Please do the next video without the music blasting in the background. It will help to hear the shift quality and speed more easily.

Also, do you know if the TCU programming overrides the adaptive learning that the transmission normally does? I wouldn't mind if the TCU still allowed the shifting to get lazier and lazier in "C" (Comfort) mode, but it would be great if their programming was permanent in Sport and Manual modes. Not having to do the "sneaky reset" to restore the shift quality would be a huge plus.
