hi everyone im new to the forum and have a noob question . I have a 2010 c350 and wanted to know what ecu chips work best for my car , i know there are threads on here about it already but to be honest im too lazy to look lol . I know Brabus makes one but im not sure if its for gas engines . Advice on brands and personal experience is greatly appreciated . I'm also thinking about adding an x pipe so info on that would also be great . Like i said im still a noob when comes to tuning so thanks in advance .

Powerchip. Best bang for your buck.

Singh, Kleeman, Renntech, Speed Innovation, etc etc other options

Thanks for the info i sent an email to a local dealer i found through the Kleeman site and sent a question regarding the chip to powerchip via their website . It seems they dont make one for my model but hopefully i am misreading the site .

Powerchip does not make an ecu tune for the 350 only for C300 and c63. I have the Singh tune with more power at the mid range and high range.

How much hp did you gain and did it make a big difference for you.

I plan on taking my car in for a few small warranty issues in a couple weeks. The AMG Performance Center offers a $695 ECU remapping and I am thinking about having it done while in for service. They claim about a 20 HP increase but admit that most of the gains in HP and torque will be in the higher rev ranges.
Anyhow, I would love to be able to make a matrix showing all the ECU tuners, their cost and their claimed numbers. If anyone has done any reasearch on all the available tunes, maybe they can post what they have found and I can make a spreadsheet of the data...then the group can add/correct/update things...kinda like our own Wiki for C Class ECU tunes.

+1 on the singh.. improved the midrange power.. car feels smoother and less hesitant when its shifting..(slightly more sporty)

I'm running the Carlsson ecu tune, it's perfect and includes a full warranty.

Powerschip replied to my email saying that they do have a file for 350 and the site just hasn't been updated yet . They guy Powerchip said it will bump me up 15 hp and tq. Theres a Kleeman dealer that's just a town over from mine , that guy said there would be an increase 16 hp and tq . Im probably going to go the the local guy as i wouldn't have to send out my ecu and it seems Kleeman is know for Mercedes .

I went with a speedtuningusa tune. Improved throttle response and no hesitation. Good for the price.
