Phil has people who do programming and people who do mechanic conversions. He is the CEO.
Evotech is a completely different company who did the 5.5 AMG conversion of evil_deeds with full success. There is no relationship between Phil and Evotech. Evotech itself is no longer in germany. The Evotech guys are in Dubai now.
Pricing: i know Phils prices over here in germany. Maybe he wasn't really interested in sharing his knowledge. But what i have to say. All his cars are electronically fully functional like stock. He's also doing ESP adaptions and a manual AMG like software for the AT N/A. So i think there has a lot of research to be done to get this knowledge.
But i really don't want to mess into that. That is and really was not my intention.
Kudos for your dedication, Josh
Regards
Markus
I'm not trying to start anything Markus, just figure future potential client's shouldn't be getting wrong information. You're right, Phil doesn't do ECU re-works lol, just like I said. Now last year he told me that the people doing his work, worked at Mercedes, they decided to do jobs on the side, they did his ECU work for 15,000 euro's, then went off to Evotech...
Whether it's true or not, I'm not sure. That's just what Phil told me a year ago.
You'll have to excuse my skepticism on the "full factory" part... I have yet to know 100% that any MB swap that's ever been done is fully functional, other than mine and JimmySkullz'. Especially after what I've been told about Evotech, and my personal dealings with them.
I think it's funny that he want's to do ESP adaptions. I don't like this feeling of competition. He must be sneaking on my thread. Sly little guy. In all actuality Markus, if you know what to do, the electronics manipulation in these cars is cake walk
.
And thanks Markus, I appreciate it. Thanks for helping me out when I first started my swap.
