This is probably a stupid question, but where do you send the unit to get the transmission tuned? I have an M6 and want to get rid of the torque management.

Im pretty sure you have to send it off to HPTuners.

Update: I contacted my tuner and he said he didn't have a unlock for 17s yet. So the hold up coninues :/

I gain about .4 with TCM tuning alone. It is half the gains if not more. Shift points and TM are critical to how the car runs at the track.

Only HPT can unlock it. Street runs and 1/4 mile is where you will see the most gains with tuning the trans.

I can't believe no one said this by now, but M6's don't have TCU's.

Anyone know if the TCM can be accessed for removal by removing the passenger side fender well line, rather than removing bumper cover?

Here is a link to a walk through going under the bumper. Seems pretty simple, and you're only removing a splash plate rather than the entire bumper.
