[COLOR=Red]More BHP for the little supercharged 1.8L[/COLOR]

Hi...
I'm trying to find out if its possible to reprogram the computer of my C230K for a little more BHP and if there is a performance chip that i can get, I dont want to go with internal engine parts just yet... I was trying to find any lead over the web, came out with nothing...

You're gonna get a lot of folks telling you to use the search function up top - this subject has been discussed so much we actually had a burial service for it a few months back.

If you just want a chip - check evosport.com - they sell the powerchip, which seems to be popular - powerchipgroup.com

Good luck and welcome to the boards.

I believe SI is a powerchip reseller - so the gains are probably in line with that chip, depending on octane.

91-93
204-207 HP
207-211 lbft

I'm on a 24 mo lease with my 05 so I never bothered to get a chip but was considering it for a bit. People have said that the 'seat of the pants' difference is noticable but thats about as good as you can get from chipping a supercharged car.
