Default Eurocharged regrets

Thinking of getting a tune and was wondering if anyone has spent the money on a Eurocharged tune and regretted it.

Nope. Got Mine back in the Spring of 2008 on my 2006 NA roadster and have never regretted it. In fact they have dyno tuned it twice and it still kicks for me.


My Wife's SRT6 has their tune and she rocks. They have gotten better since my humble beginnings. I highly recommend their tunes.

The guys there are really awesome, since gas is over $4/gal here I've asked for both a performance and eco tune which has made a big difference. I get 32mpg driving around the island and about 21 on base since it's all stop and go.

They did a great job on mine. Really made it a lot better. We did a bunch of XF tunes in one day, I think 24cars. Can't think of anyone that had any complaint or regrets.

No regrets on my SRT6...other than wanting to spend money on a limited slip differential so the gains can get to the road without the tires spinning LOL.

Ok, I will charge ahead. I would like to install the needswings single cai, should I do that first or doesn't it matter?

FWIW they're wrapping up a move at their TX location so there could be a delay in communication if you call today or Monday.

Their number changed too: (713) 462-1600

This is just my personal opinion, but if you're going to upgrade the intake, wait to do the tune until you're done. The only reason I say this is because you probably don't want to be flashing the car a lot - not that 2 flashes are a lot - but in my mind, every time you flash it could be the last time. Electronics have a way of going dead without warning. I don't think anyone on here has had a flash "brick" the car - and many have done multiple tunes - so you're most likely going to be fine ... but if you know you're going to change it, why risk it?

BTW - I had mine tuned by EC and am very happy with it

Good luck and enjoy the ride!!

I would do the CAI first. While the Eurocharged group has really good looking gals selling their ads, none of them are at the shop when you go. So have them doit after the CAI install.

He didn't bring them to the first CAA.

If you could do only one of the two (tune or cai) which would you choose? Another question for those who did the tune and later added the single cai, did you notice a difference in power after the cai was installed.

Then do the CAI first. And yes there will be a differences.

Firrst, the sound will change because you are moving mor air. Second, you will get more HP but not the full potential.

You will also notice a difference in performance on some days due to cold air. A difference you might not have noticed before. On 35 F degree days, my NA is a pit bull. Noticebly stronger. At least according to my butt meter.

If you are limited on budget and want to do upgrades on a sorta pay as you go plan, Do all the mechanical mods you can afford and then call Jake. Or better, call him and get advice on what mods to make and then get the tune when done.

Always, always get all the modding done before you tune. Better for you, better for the tuner. To constantly keep going back for retunes is just asking for a screw up sooner or later. I don't want anyone in that ECU anymore than is necessary.

If you can come up with about $500 to put into it.. This intake is an improvement over stock till you can toss in the Needswings.. Do the 74mm throttle body upgrade.. about $100 date.. then get your tune. This definitely will improve the car.. My car and the wife's roadster have this setup and both of them run out a lot better than a stock setup.

Be sure to include a sprint booster in your upgrades. Some say it is not a performance chip. Other's disagree. I cannot imagine why it wasn't stock with the car.


It reduces the lag in the throttle. And may already be on the car.


About $250-$300
