well no. Its actually based here in Chicago at the shop and they upload their tunes to a network of dealers across the country to make it available to everyone. They do like 90% of the Benz tuning in the states and Tony was actually the one who got them into the BMW world.

possibly both

Kruz · 09-09-2009, 04:22 PM

Thats a steal at twice the price!

In all seriousness...I want to treat the car to something and this might fit the bill.

Ricer X · 09-09-2009, 04:30 PM

Seth knows these guys better than I, but I may be able to provide some more current info.

I just got my LET tune for my 335i (although I still have only been able to drive it 1 day - still at the dealer - due to non-tune issues - the issues were actually discovered because I went to get the tune).

LET is provided in the area by Eurocharged (formally Checksum Tuning). They are located in Plainfield IL. They may or may not be the developers or own the rights - Seth would know better. Either way, if you want on-site installation you have to see Tony at Eurocharged. You can flash remotely with one of his hand held devices and a computer.

My stage 1 flash for my 335i cost me $599. When I get Kyle's intercooler and downpipes, I will upgrade to stage 2 for $100.

Yeah they are the developers for sure. Tony made the 328 tune that eventually turned into what they sell to their network of retailers, off of my car while I was standing right next to him.

I got the downpipes last night. Now it's just to get a hold of IND to get the parts off. I have the 5 hours of labor to burn up, but I haven't heard back from them yet. Perhaps the free labor is taking a backseat to the charged labor, lol.

so wait are you taking parts off?

kyleb350 · 09-09-2009, 05:18 PM

Yeah, my priorities have shifted into getting a new condo. I'm putting all my stock parts back on so I can sell it or trade it back in. I have some free labor hours that I won at a raffle at IND.

mkPOTO · 09-09-2009, 05:32 PM

yeah let me know when parts come off

Looks like the real gems are spoken for already...

bummer

kyleb350 · 09-09-2009, 05:50 PM

My KW V2's are still up for grabs... as well as other minor bits (oil catch can, CF grills)

You guys think it'd be worth the labor to take the LSD and sway bars out? Takes like 6 hours...

No hurries. I still don't even have my car back. I am being told tomorrow (again). Supposedly got some parts, but not all. What, are they forging these parts individually? Cripes!

Hey, if you end up not using the labor hours on your deinstallation, I'd buy out what you have left for my install. I'm gonna have to pay for it either way - you may as well get something out of it. If that is allowed.

BTW, they aren't calling me back on my original quote request -> spoke to one person directly who was going to call me back and left two messages. So, its not just you.

I have no other experience with them, and I know you all speak very highly of them, but not returning calls is just dumb and I now have doubts about how they run the rest of their business.
