No listings for a W213....

You aren't a candidate and you aren't my clientele, as your risk aversion is too high. Notice how I'm not trying to convince you to get it at all? Also clearly states in ALL CAPS, Bolded, AND in RED - ***PLUS MANY MORE! Just send us your VIN# to verify***

Every single person who has purchased TCU/CPC simply followed the directions, was respectful to a total stranger, and sent their VIN, they found out that they could do it within usually minutes of asking, and paid their deposit. Seems you just want to keep telling everyone how much YOU don't want it... Weird flex but OK.

One thing I would like to point out (even though it's also clearly stated in the original post) is that this is not a new tune. The developer behind it is also not new, and not "some guy", he has been tuning TCUs for 722.9 for many years, and every other person/company who offers (or has ever offered) TCU tuning for 722.9 or 725 is using him. The 725 is also not a new transmission, and it's been installed in production cars since like 2014, possibly even before then. I have taken several apart in training, and they are very well built, and very strong. Have been making >900wtq on my 14' E63s for over 2 years and 20k miles of very abusive daily driving and racing. Trans is tuned as serviced every 15k, that's it. I only say that because its only "rated" at 1000nm of input tq (738 lb ft) at the crank... at yet, somehow - it's holding up to over 150% of that. MB overbuilds, and we take advantage of that extra headroom for our clients' benefit.

It's been well tested for many tens of thousands of miles on many different 9g cars, for many years. No matter what I say it obviously does not matter to you, since you are enlightened on the subject

Bottom line is this: Don't want it? Don't buy it. Want more from your car? This is the way.

Thanks!

Dave

I still do not get why Ronin seems so invested in the health of the drivetrain when he himself is tuned?? I
mean WTF?
Since when did MB say "you shall tune the engine with no repercussions, but not the trans! cos that will break...."

Did engine prices for the AMGs suddenly take a nosedive and transmissions go wayuway in prices that I don't know about?

So far you aren't even close to achieving it and fact is you don't even have a W213 CPU option listed but you are posting your fools buy in tuning on a W213 heading.

LOL............

can you elaborate why VIN is needed?
can you do OBD CPC_NG flash or only new unit?

But I already purchased a TCU/CPU tune when I bought my cars, the thing is my tunes were at no additional cost and I have a complete manufactures warrantee on the drivetrain..
Engineering data has not been provided to show that there are no averse affects when modifying the manufactures tolerances on critical components unless you prefer taking the word of "some guy in Germany".

ok bro so what does the TCU tune even do? raise torque limits? Sounds like I’d be just dumping a few grand to a tuner hoping they don’t **** my 130k car, Does it increase the rpm on race start so I blow my diff? Seems a little sus dude, just looking for some info and reason that I won’t mechanically destroy my dope *** whip

Price update for the CPC is in effect and it's pretty significant! We are now offering it at $1,450 ($1,500 if you just want us to ship it to you) Also just a reminder that Burlingame session is happening this weekend in NorCal! Keep in mind that you can also order the CPC directly from me, which will do things like deleting your problem prone exhaust flaps, adjusting your intercooler pump actuation, raising Vmax, raising tq limits, and re-calibrating you driving dynamics display to reflect new power output! Lemme know if you have any questions

Thanks!

Dave

Post #1 gives a pretty good explanation. Sounds like you may have some more in depth questions and concerns - if that's the case call the shop and talk to Adam - 512-777-2799. I must re-affirm that we are NOT salesmen, and won't try and "sell" you on anything. Just here to give you accurate info and answer your questions.

Thanks!

Well it's been a while where are the rave reviews and complaints of now voided warrantees ?
So how many thousandths of a second are your cars faster than stock from 50-90 mph after the TCU expense ?

So much salt - at this point it's just comical to see you get gently roasted by everyone else. I feel that I need to put up a diagram so you can show us all where the TCU tune touched you - lololol

Thanks for playing!

Roasted ? The joke is you selling a warrantee voiding product that offers what response from your customers ?
I see no praise of money well spent on their leased MB
So how many .000 of a second has this TCU increased performance from 50-90 mph ?
Sell your smoke and mirrors to the fools, I just want to hear from those that were stupid enough to waste their money.. ​​​​​​​

Maybe they will ask the same questions since I haven't gotten a single response on OEM torque load settings vs the changes made by this TCU recalibration .
Inquiring minds want to know..

In all seriousness... what are the stock torque limits and what do you raise them to? i thought i read that cars with stage 1 tunes at 700nm can grenade the tranny if you launch too hard?

Thanks, muffin. It's been boring lately. Let's spark some action and get rolling here.

The most entertaining thread I've seen in the last 15 years, or so, was the one with mrki who was advertising GAD tunes - LMAO.
