It isnīt that easy here in Germany.
The local tuning market isnīt comparable with the US market.
Damn, some of the germans even think that the americans like the Fast& the Furious style!!^^
Here itīs very easy to get rims, cheap headlamps and some suspensions.
For the real stuff, like turbochargers, engine builds and so on, u have to know where u can find it!

There are some Shops specialized for motorsport, like Sandtler, but as i mentioned, it all has itīs price.....but at Sandtler you can find nearly everything you need to get your car ready for the track!
This guy with his E30 Turbo i posted, heīs getting his turbochargers from sweden.....theyīre real cracks in turbocharging cars.

We donīt have precast software or mappings for free sale.....as far i know!
For example, if u drive a japanese car, u can simply buy a G-Reddy e-Manage, plug it in and setup the maps......u wonīt find ANYTHING comparable for german cars, even here in germany.
The big tuners like Hartge, Hamann, G-Power or Regelin are keeping their ecu tweaks secret and they want to see good money for it.
Regelin for example wants 700€ for flashing the ECU and doing 2 dyno runs, one before and one after the ecu flash.
Of course u can buy a free programmable ECU and do the settings by your own, but thats not quite easy!^^

Or you know someone, one of my customers knows a guy who once worked at Hartge (45min from where i live), that guy tweaked the customers ECU for ~300€.
