I got a hold of them on the phone today - turns out they are pretty nice guys.
Sent me a word doc with ECU removal instructions. I'm mailing mine in on Monday.

If you see a black C320 w/ a DC Brau sticker, honk

samaritrey

if you see a white c320 with the tag THE C320 do the same
If you can keep up

maverik259

ya I'd be down for a tune...although i'd like to hear from soneone who has gotten this done on our cars (05 c230 kompressor)...anyone out there?

valexv

booooo!!!

paypaboi

Is this correct? why does the c320 get less horsepower? i'm confused **** for these kind of gains on a c230K i have to get one! there hast to be something wrong or my engine is going to die or something....

TemjinX2

NA vs FI. FI always has greater gains from tunes...unless your running a 6L v8 NA.

maverik259

haha 6L vette! FTW

but ya like he said, since the FI are already pushing in tons more air the engine isn't as much starved as it sits. With a tune to the ignition and timing of the spark you get even better explosion.

i'm in if there's a washington DC ecu tune~!

Midnight Koop

i think coupecrazy got it on his... same m271, right?

For the rest of the East-Coasters:

Step 1: Find someone's car to borrow for 3 days, or look up a bus schedule.
Step 2: Call Powerchip Group and talk to them about the rates and they will email you instructions for removing your ecu.
Step 3: Gas up your car with 93 Octane if you haven't already.
Step 4: Remove and then bubble-wrap up your ECU and FedEx it OVERNIGHT to PCG.
Step 5: They call you for your CC info, program your ECU, and overnight it back to you same day.
Step 6: Reinstall your ECU.

maverik259

i use 93 octane every day of my life!

maverik259

is this for sure a group by for $350?

i dont want to call them and have them not know wtf I'm talking about! I'll have to slap someone if i get laughed at on the phone!

paypaboi

I figured it was because of FI but whoa! 189hp to 253hp! That's wild!

ao125

When I called, someone named Mat picked up and knew exactly what I was talking about.

All I said was that I saw the group buy on the Mercedes Benz forum.
