Talking Tuning chips for your C!

Hi.
After searching around for tuning-chips for my car, I found a german company offering chips for the entire C-lineup (except C32 AMG).

Don't know if they are any good, but... check it out. They claim to get 239 hp from the 230K-engine

C200K

C230K

C240

C320

Happy new year and happy power-hunting!

Looks interesting!

But it does the void the warranty of the car after installing the chip right?

Remember the 239 is based on a Euro-spec engine which makes 197hp stock. Looks interesting and expensive (1763E) ... like $1550?? Alot for a chip!

hopup:
Yes, changing chip will void your warranty, if they ever find out that your car was chip-tuned. However, this company claims to "hide" the mods from any kind of service computer. Don't know how true this is, but it sure sounds nice anyway. Another fact is that it should be a pretty simple procedure to change back to your original chip in case of a breakage, hence nobody will ever find out that your car was tuned....

AndrewK:
Yepp, should be something like 1.5-1.6K$. Kind of expensive. I'm not sure those chips will work with US-spec engines, but I'm sure the chip-company can answer this kind of questions.

Anyway I'm planning to take at trip to Germany this summer to get my 200K tuned. Can't wait to get those extra 35HP and try it flat out on the autobahn!
