Having looked at the data, I'm starting to think a TCU tune is the biggest bang for buck for daily driving, then followed by a ECU tune for improved ET's at the track.
Whats even better is the fact the TCU tune is completely transparent... it doesn't get flagged in the ME. This should help alleviate some concerns for people still rocking warranties...

Look in this space for an update on a TCU tune only E63S running stock ECU.

Brutus - hey totally agree and another appeal of the TCU tune is if you blow up the trans its maybe $6-8k to replace compared to the motor at $25k from an ECU tune gone bad.... so to me the TCU seems like a no brainer!!! Are they coming to Chicago/Milwaukee area anytime soon to do a group TCU session? Think we could get 10+ for sure in Chicago to step up and do the TCU.

There's a lot of interest coming out of Chicago! Y'all need to just go to the website and sign up! If you're "In" just put down the deposit, you literally have nothing to loose, as it will be refunded if we don't end up making it. The only way we will make the trip is if we have the roster filled
Chicago session will be in Addison, at Pinnacle Motorwerks Form for that location is live on the website, so go sign up.

Can someone please explain what is happening on the 2-3 gear change in the video posted in the link above? There is like a swing of 500 rpm after the shift. Someone mentioned boost limitation because of a lack of a DV or blow off. Thanks!

That video was graciously provided by Cifdig the weekend following his TCU tune.
We all saw and commented on the video. There were a couple of ideas thrown about. Another idea was wheel spin may have caused it.
Truth is we don't know.
I defer to Cifdig to answer with his experiences post TCU tune. He's probably done 20 launches or more if his draggy activity is any indication. .
Hopefully he can come into the thread to provide some insight.

Without muddying this thread... here's a link to a EC ATX world record pass of a stock turbo W212 2014 E63S...
It benefited greatly from a TCU tune and an Ethanol E70 Tune....

Stock turned TCU's will show throttle closure to restrict boost in the lower gears. Modified TCU's running this tune will allow for full boost in the lower gears. 5soko created a post around this....

It doesn't get any more centrally located than this.
Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Colorado... Its a team sport, and I need your help.

goes for most tune only ecu tunes out there for resale.
Many dont know their used car is tuned until they either datalog or they opt for a new tune, and this case, if your car is hooked up for a TCU tune, the tuner would be able to see it has been applied and save you the trouble
