RaceIQ is as good as they come. A lot on this if you do a search. Good luck

eurocharged I have seen on the forum and had less problems personally with than any other tuner in my 5-6 years on the platform. performance wise most mail tunes must be in same ballpark I'd have thought.

I have Eurocharged in there currently. Paid for it twice. But I hear they dont go with the original free lifetime re-tunes anymore. So I figured if I have to pay I would see if there is anyone else reputable.

I tried raceiq on a similar whim (wanted a mygenius for quick flashing and valet mode) but ended up wasting my cash as tunes had bad fueling and a problem with rev limiter and dropping out of gear that couldn't get fixed with a few attempts.

Honestly I'd reach out to eurocharged see if you can get a cheaper retune since u had a few already...I dont think the grass is really much greener and if it ain't broke..

It is $35 last two times I got one. Significantly cheaper than going with someone new. I guess they wanted to make sure people were serious about making legitimate changes, I am sure they would get some pretty interesting requests from time to time.

I can get down with paying a small fee. I guess it's worth the phone call.

It might have changed, my last correspondence with Jerry was 10th January 2020.

If you want to proceed this way, send us the $35 reflash fee and I’ll do as you request.

Regards,

Jerry Thornton

It all depends on the model. Obviouisly you're asking about e55. That would be RaceIQ for all 55k Specifically

I'm using Eurocharged. Used it on my previous ride too. Never had any issues.

Well a little update, I went with the Logos Engineering Motorworks downpipes, though I will have to get a retune from EC to go stage two to see the results. I'm not sure how much difference this will make but I'm hoping for some more tq down low and some hp up top. If anyone has them installed feel free to chime in and let me know what ya think. If I like the quality, fit, and finish I will see what other products they have!
