He could probably do it, but if he's not careful it could fck up pretty bad. If it's free take it, but if he charges more than $200 you might as well get a powerchip...

Powerchip is possibly your best bet. Go PM Chutoyy on MyMBOnline and ask him how it was, he had it on his w203 c230. He told me throttle lag was gone, and more power, etc...

There are lots of chip tuners who do MB. Some are better than others. I think I have read about a number of people using and being happy with Upsolute (sp?) chip tuning. Don't trust my memory though, just do some searching of the various MB forums and you should get a good feel for who does reputable work.

This is the w202 c230 N/A. I'm pretty sure you could use this on the c220.

thanks for the site thepinoc. I found one for the c220 on the site you gave me. Just one question though, is this chip something you attached physically to the ECU? like a plug and play device?
