I have the powerchip & it seems fine. More pull at high speeds, but it did not improve low end too much, nor did it improve the response time too much.

Really? That's no way to treat a sponsor of this forum.

Hey there,

we are located in Costa Mesa and had a pretty large group buy a few months back for the W204 guys with no horror stories to speak of. We also met a lot of awesome MB owners (like tanktube). We claim 15-20hp and you can try it out for yourself for 2 weeks with no risk. If you are not happy with your software you can return it and get a refund within 14 days of installation. We do have discounts for MBworld members even though there is no group buy currently. Give us a call and we'll be happy to help you out.

From my personal experience, I dont have any complaints about my Powerchip tune. I'm local to them so I took my car in to their facility. They took about 1/2 hr. to reprogram my ECU, and were very friendly to me.

I received a message from Powerchip stating that there is an update to my tune & that I can go in for a reprogram. I don't know what the update is yet, but I'll let you guys know how it goes.
