HP Gain1
hey guys..i was searching the forums for current HP gains for the 06 c230 ss and came across powerchip
Has anyone purchased their chip for the 06 SS c230 and notice a diffrence?
When you choose your car on their website they have a 2006 c230 but it doesnt say SPORT so is it the same car?
Also..i hear people talking about pulley kits and ect and i searched evosport but they dont have any pulley kits for the 06 right?? (just making sure)
Anyone else have any other information on gaining HP besides taking the back seats out and getting a CF hood haha
Thanks!

2006 C230 2.5 V6
C230 '06
The 2006 C230's are 2.5 V6 naturally aspirated ( no kompressor) no pulley required. Power chip has the ECU upgrade for this car as the only C230 made for 2006 is the "Sport"
I'm dying to chip mine just waiting to hear from someone how it benefited them. So if any of you have chipped the 2.5 V6, Please let me know.

1) its void
2) dealer wont change it back, they want YOUR money and i dont think they even can
3) if you get it back to old way, you'll still have to go to another dealer, because it will be in the first dealer's computer system that your engine warrenty is void because of ecu reprogram...

Voided warranty
The warranty is only voided to the componet that it is directly related to. In a chip it would be powertrain. Then the manufacturer has to prove that the ECU upgrade directly caused the failure. Consumers will usually win and most car manufatures will fold before going to court. You are protected by I believe its called the Magnuson act. But if the dealer wants to be a dick it can get ugly.
