Who on this forum has had their car tuned and how satisfied are you?

I'm looking at getting a tune from Eurocharge in Texas. Looking for some input from owners on performance results and reliability after you had your car tuned.

I have a twin turbo model and would expect good increases in power and I'm just concerned with reliability.

Please name your tuner and your satisfactions level.

Thanks

I got the AMS Alpha 9 tune with Renntech's 200 catted downpipes on my 2012 E63 and couldn't be happier. On a scale of 1-10, I would give AMS an 11.

Custom dyno tune from AMS on my 2015 E63S. About 8K miles since the tune and the car has been reliable. Love driving the car!

Thanks guy for your input

I appreciate all your replies and input. Keep them coming.

I'm having my GTS tuned this month and wanted some real world feedback that only you guys could provide.

Thanks,

Guys with a tune and down pipes. Are tuners able to get rid of the CEL that happens with the removal of the stock cats?

No cell on my tune. I do have the Renntech/NGK plugs though.
