Garrett ECU upgrade
I was thinking of getting a Garrett ECU Upgrade. Does anyone have any suggestions and pricing information? How much for the total installation and upgrade, etc? I was also thinking of getting the carbon-fiber air-intake solution as well. What kind of performance increase am I looking forward to? Would i feel the difference? My current vehicle is a 2002 C 240 Sedan w/ sport package. Thanks a lot!

dont know that there is a carbon fiber airbox/intake available for the V6 engine, but even if there is, ill tell you that the money you spend on it is spent solely on a pretty airbox, horsepower gains will be less than 5 if any at all. ECU remap is also overrated in my opinion, gains are inconsistant at best. If you want a cheap horsepower gain that you can really feel, i suggest the Underdrive Pulley Kit from Evosport. the kit is either $499 or $599 i cant remember, and its good for a 13 hp gain, not bad....
