I see. It couldn't hurt to contact. I attempted to join the forum but I never got an email confirmation.

With Tony out of the game, I assume you're SOL with these FSP files.

What are your plans?

There are a few guys there willing to sell you files but to decrypt the ecu they probably can't do it

Honestly I don't know. If nothing else happens, I will be switching to a clutched 77mm pulley and going back to EC (had their tune with my 84mm clutched pulley).
That will really suck because I really love the way the fsp drives now and I don't have to worry about exploding pulleys

Can solo motorsports not tune for the fsp? Just curious because I saw them selling them on their website. Anyone have any experience with them?

Quick update, Jason is unavailable until next week. Once he gets back I will list prices for the tuning equipment and the dyno. He will also be calling all those customers who have contacted me via text and pm to settle up.

I will also start a new thread that will be selling parts off like cm30 pumps, 82mm TB, 90mm TB with harnesses etc.

Again, thanks for your patience fellas.

What surprises me is, we have several tuners that been tuning Mercedes for years and there certain things they can't fix or "tune" correctly.. Makes me wonder if they can tune in general when they can't find fixes for some stuff.

After re-reading your thread, I have a couple questions for you:

1) What make headers did you have installed?
2) If your intercooler tank was getting gouged by pulleys under torque, odds are you need knew motor mounts, NO??
3) IS your e55 lowered by any chance?

I know where you're going with this. I just wanted to add that having long tube headers and a lowered car does make it possible to have headers touch the ground. Speed bumps, steep driveways, and even some big dips taken at speed that really compresses the suspension have caused my headers to scrape. Thankfully the MBH headers are made from ballistic tank armor.

Encouraging words here https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...ml#post6396888

I think there was at least one other instance of a member saying his tune worked out, didn't bother to search for the link.

Maybe it's not all sunshine & rainbows. Irrelevant now I guess.

You may not want to DX your FSP just yet, as Tony will be back shortly.

1) Kleemann mid tubes w/ downpipes
2) If my motor mounts were bad how come BiP nor my local MB dealer (who discovered the problem and fixed it) bothered to mention it? Probably because they're fine, it's actually the fact that the intercooler tank was less than a quarter inch from the double idler pulley. I mean, you couldn't even fit your pinky finger in between the tank and pulley.
3) Not lowered, sitting on OEM 19" wheels.

Yes, we can tune for FSP and we did many FSP setups.

We are local to the Atlanta community and we can remote tune.

Here are some pictures
