Response to False and Misleading Claims Made by OE regarding MHP

[MHP LLC]

C&P'd from the MBW thread: http://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w2...l-tuner-7.html

I didn't want to post about this thread instead I would rather it stayed between the customer and OE however OE has dragged us into it by posting on MBW...

Here is how things played out:

1. SGT called wanting a tune on the dyno and came in for a dyno tune.
We do not offer "steady state" tuning requiring emulation, as OE Tuning does not own ETK for ME9.7 emulation.
Dyno tuning is done with dynoing and logging in the case of C63 AMGs.
Between each run changes are made to better the run before.
The vehicle had MHP headers and were removed due to them being to loud before dynoing.
Dynoing was done with factory stock exhaust.

So basically you're saying what you call dyno tuning is not what the rest of the industry calls it. If you aren't making map changes between pulls you aren't dyno tuning, so why even call it that in the first place unless you're already trying to mislead people to get them in the door.

2. The car was strapped on the dyno and run for the baseline, running CA91.

Then the ecu was tuned for CA91 premium pump gas.
There was only ever OE Tuning tunes programmed to ECU, with OE Tuning sig.
Version 1037394899 was never programmed to the ecu as the screenshot suggests. Nor was what is being accused programmed to the ecu.
Tuning is precise changes and there were no mistakes made. OE Tuning is professional about their products and the way each tune is carried out.
Version 1037394899 (ET screenshot SW version), is from a different 2008 model C63. (compare these numbers to verify succession)
The byte sequence from the screen shot was never present in the read or the write by OE Tuning. This software version, 1037394899 is not found on any 2011 models.
This byte sequence does is not present in version 1037506908.
Software version 1037506908, is the software found on many 2011 C63s.

Software version means nothing, all one needs to do is retain the immobilizer data and the car will run with a different firmware version. That said it won't run perfectly (this is why we don't clone files) as Steve posted about his experiences with the OE tune.

1) Cutting out on highway with his family in the car multiple times.

2) Jerkiness and hesitation as well as the trans grabbing the wrong gear at part throttle acceleration.

3) Massive audible detonation (13.8:1 AF with over 30 degrees WOT timing at 100% load will do that on 91 octane, let alone 93 or even 94 octane).

Hacker thieves do this all the time, I see it on a daily basis, most of the time it's to "fix" the cloned file on the ECU presently.
