2006 C230 SS - European Version?
ok, i want to get an ECU chip for my 2006 C230... I was looking at upsolute, but when I go to their site, all the cars are in European verisons (i think)... so can someone tell me what the 2006 C230 is equivalent too?

i tried searching, but didn't get much...

Equivalent to what? A Yugo or something else? If you truely STFF'd you'd know better than to ask an open question like you did.

I don't understand why it is so hard to find out the model number, a C230 won't be a C460 in the europe....

I guess maybe they didn't have the chip for the V6 yet, maybe you can try to email them and ask, but I know powerchip has the 06 V6 chip.

wow.. i just checked powerchip... $840.00... for about 20 more hp, where as for $300.00 with upsolute, I can get about 30 - 40 hp...

assuming i shouldn't compare 05 to an 06... i looked up the 05 info...

Powerchip:
189 hp ----> 207 hp
192 lb.-ft ----> 211 lb.-ft

Upsolute:
I can't find the link to the US Spec c230, but it was around 40hp more...
