I am looking for a solution that can be achieved by myself without having to send my ECU chip off. I realize that one may not exist, but I figured I would ask the question to all you xfire gurus out there.
There is a company called MTH in germany that does ECU programing for BMW and Mini's and the ECU retune only costs about $75.00 What this guy does is, you give him your VIN number and he creates a new file based on certain options and mods that have been done to the engine with your VIN number embedded and emails you the file. You use a lap top with a special cable that attaches to your OBDII port. It would be nice if this company had something for us! All the companies above are also reflashing our ECU's but you have to be there or send them the ECU. I have heard that most of these ECU tuners are just reflashing Eurospec maps, but not sure if this is true. If we knew a certain country had a better tune, with things like the speed limiter turned off there is another way to go. The mercedes tech I am dealing with has paid a little extra to have access to all progems in Startech and Autologic systems. He told me he could reflash my computer for any country in the world. Who knows, maybe Germany didn't have the speed limiter for trips on the Autobahn?
