Default Eurocharged tune??

considering a stage II tune for my 04 NA... a llittle pricy but the gains are really impressive.Im a little worried about sending out my ECU to a stranger and also sending him $400 though. Anyone have any experience with the sight Eurocharged?? or have done this Tune?? any input would be apreciated, Thanks!

The guys at Eurocharged are first rate. I had them do tunes at my plant this summer for our CAA event. They did about 15 cars al total I think.

Not one complaint of which I am aware.

As for me, they have tuned three Crossfires over the last three years. The Wifes car, an SRT we had for the event, and my personal NA. The gains were impressive.

As to my NA they have been in there several times and have my WHP at 195 HP plus.

Do not put in an off the shelf chip from somebody promising 60 HP gains for $99.00. It will make your turbulator run backwards.

They are a reputable business.
When they had a shop here locally in the Chicago Suburbs I had my NA tuned at one of there open house events.
I gained 18HP to the wheels with a dyno tune.

Photo links from a couple of the open house / dyno tune days.

they have a special going on right now for $299. when you ship your ecu to jerry dont forget the ins!! insure that box for about 3000$ and package it as if you were mailing your brain to him, cause you are!

the 2k is the deposit so they get their laptop back. once all the equipment is returned in good condition you are only charged for the tune

Just buy the cable for 100 and tune for 399 and you are good to go. That is what i did and Jerry did everything over the phone and over the logmein. He did the tune and everything.VERY nice guy.
It is definitely worth it. Keep in mind, that after the tune, you want to drive like a maniac because our cars learn while we drive...trust me...it pays out to drive like that after the tune...I love it...Next CAI

Don't tune it, if you are going to add mods like th CAI. Once all the modding is done, let them know what you have done, even a local dyno run results, are all helpful in getting the most out of the tune. The tune is the last thing you do.

most times i would agree with you doc but in this instance with such a great discount and the ability to retune via usb cable i would jump on this and retune as i modded

you will need a usb to obdii cable that jerry has. it allows him to change the files in the ecu thru your laptop and a website that allows him to control your pc. just did mine last week. completely different car from the tune i had done on a dyno a yr ago

its part of the remote tune kit. i have dealt with them for a while so im assuming he felt comfortable sending it to me. best thing to do is contact jerry and see what route he recommends you go

Hey 32krazy, do you know where in Houston, Jerry's shop is ?
I could do with a tune on my coupe, and if i can just pay him a visit, it saves being without the car whilst the ecu is shipped ...
