Canada Is there any interest in the Hartge MCS upgrade in the Toronto area?

I'm asking because we (Teutonic.ca) might be offering this upgrade in the Toronto area if there is sufficient interest. There are some overhead costs associated with this which is why I am asking.

Toronto is about an hour north of Buffalo, NY and about four hours from Detriot, MI. That may make it convenient for MCS junkies in the north east USA.

So, please vote accordingly, or post to this thread with your comments.

Thanks,
Kev

I've been looking into getting this upgrade in the Toronto area, but the only option so far to get the ECU re-programmed is to send it to Hartge in Germany. I'd rather not ship it there, so if you guys can do it locally, I'd definitely be interested.

Always depending on price of course, but I was quoted 1250 Euro which is only $1975 CAD plus the install. Not bad.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks.

Kev,

I put my comments in the SOMC forums. In a nutshell: interested but with reservations.

As posted on SOMC my concern with Hartage is that reports have had it being not any better than just upgrading the pulley. If I was so inclined the pulley at $600cdn (approx) installed vs $2000cdn + install (I believe) is hard to argue with. I'd have to see the Hartage up close, possibly drive and see dyno comparisons to warrant the very large extra chunk of change.

I'm definately interested, without hesitation.

I can vouch for Hartge. I have a full suspension kit on my 1995 BMW 318ti, and it's very, very well engineered. I have no doubt that they've done a good job on the MCS.
