Racechip from Germany anyone?
This is a direct link to their "chip" for the w203 c320.
Anyone heard anything of them?
They claim 67 hp increase with the c320... and it's about $310 US before shipping....
jaheebus. its just plug and play.

IDk man somethings not quite legit about that company. For 1 CDI means diesel, for 2 they have lots of mistakes ie they think a w204 had the C320 as well.

Yeah - the CDI this bugs me a bit. I've been looking around for a way to chip my C320 and I was hoping this was it.... but yeeesh.
I did find this one however:
http://eng.smchiptuning.com/2958/mer...3-c320-3-2-218
400 Euro for (supposed) 21HP?
There is also the "ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGER" that I think actually gave my computer AIDS when I looked at the site:
http://www.engineperformancechip.com...r-2-5-psi-p-16
(LOL, don't seriously buy that)

Regardless this company seems to only tune diesels, which would explain the huge gains.

For the W203-C320, they could have just welded the hood shut.
Can't chip it, can't turbo it, can't easily supercharge it, blah blah blah.
It seems like the only thing you *can* do with it is trade it in towards a C32.

w203 m112
Kleemann makes a SC for the m112 also. Heck, some have even strapped on c32 SCs onto their NA m112s.
It all just costs $. and time. which means just $x2.

You have chip options out there. Kleemann, brabus, carlsson, renntech, eurocharged/let, speed driven? TVT and AMS have done things for the m112 too.

If you have links to chip tuning products for the C320, that would be awesome
I mean, I never bought the car as a tuner ride - and I do understand that Mercedes is in the pay-to-play club, I just thought there would be more out there for the car.

Its just easier to take your mods and put them on the c32 or c55 then to try to do a engine swap or sc in a c320 or lower model.

That seems less invasive than the Eurocharged route. EC wants a $2000 laptop deposit on top of their engine firmware upgrade.

I still cant believe powerchip even costs $700.
I had several mail order tunes done on a few LS1 motors I built, $250 each, and you could send it back in at anytime with a current dyno sheet or new list of mods and they'd update if for free - your only cost was shipping.
Whats up with the horrendous markup?
Are there no indy tuners out there who've bought the software and who have the know-how to help provide us with some reasonably cost tuning?
