Then maybe now is the time to try to convince someone on openecu.org to get on it and blow things up like they did with the Evos and the STIs.

I don't see much activity. They have cracked Mitsu and Subaru to some extent.

Guys, for those of you that paid for tunes and are still unhappy with the end product, please pm me. I need your full mod list along with your issue.

Jason, the owner that closed the shop wants to talk to each one of you via phone to make things right since you are paid customers.

After all the last few customers are satisfied, that will be it.

I am curious what your definition of "limited" is.
I don't feel like the 55 has me limited at all....I love having an 11 SEC DD

Or ASP 168mm (think ASP may have made it for Kleemann).

Does this mean I will get refunded for the clean up work I had to pay other shops to do?

I was very surprised when I read this thread. However I reached out to Craig and it seems he is trying to fix issues with paid customers so far. Let's give him a chance and see how this all works out.

My fsp tune has been spot on except for wot, I just need more fuel at wot to make it complete. Currently I am in the 13s afr and feel like it's dangerous so I've stopped going wot for the past few months.

That is the understatement of the year. OpenECU may not be active, but the guys who have been doing development from there have been extremely active on the respective models' forums.

So let me get this straight...

1. You own an E55
2. You havent gone WOT for months

Am I living in some alternate reality!? Everything I believe in I'm being asked to question.

What was the motive to close a performance shop that was well known? Seemed like a last minute decision.

That sounds like above and beyond to me. Too bad it is no more.
Is Jason willing to sell the tuning software, and project files?

They are not actively developing new products for the W211 as the platform is simply too old and demand is too low, but the products they do still have work and work well.

I had a recent experience with a car I purchased that had a lot of modifications done by a shop that is deemed very reputable on this forum. After not getting calls back and getting a huge attitude from the previous owner I called Cory at Kleemann and received some of the best customer service I have ever gotten. He took care of my problems at a very reasonable price and with great communication. The good news for me is that Kleemann will be there for the long haul to provide support.
+1
I have Kleeman everything and worked with them to get my car modded up to where I want it. Been nothing but perfect, they'll be my go to for any future AMG builds. when i can afford to i'll definetely want to try out a renntech build, they built a crazy 850hp bi-turbo e63. pricey as **** but i want it

Ok ok, I have been WOT testing out different maps. The last 3 maps have had too much else modified and even though the WOT afr's were better (11s and 12s), I didn't like the shift and other part throttle characteristics. I keep going back to the map I have on now which is perfect (well except WOT). Its even smoother than with a stock pulley on.

Chawkins, You sir, are a gentleman to take care of the remaining customers and that says a lot for your integrity.

On another note, to the ones wanting this tuning sw, the tuning software is not a plug and play sw. There will be a learning curve and it's not simple. The old adage of you will need to break a couple of eggs to make an omelette come to mind lol

No doubt. I have looked at winols, and it is not for the faint of heart. At the very least, you would need a day of instruction from Jason as well. The value lies in checksum files, and expertise.
