OE Tuning for C300 concern

Hello, I have a 2013 C300 Sport 4-Matic with the 3.5l engine. I am looking into getting the OE Tuning tune with the MyGenius.
My questions / concerns being...
-Has anyone tried both Stage 1 and Stage 2?
-How much of a difference is there between the two?
-Can the tune be reversed at anytime (im assuming yes if i get the MyGenius)
-How much will the gas mileage be affected?
-Since the tune brings the power to around the C350 power will there be any reliability issues even though both engines are the same.

Thanks!!

Check this thread out.

I have asked twice now for dyno sheets to prove the gains they are claiming with no results.

I have a feeling their tune is nothing large and has some throttle adjustment which users are mistaking for actual gains.

Until they can provide proof of their tune and what it entails, I wouldn’t waste your money.

Thanks! I did read that the OE Tune was turning out better than the Eurocharged tune. I would rather try this route first than take the car to an actual tuner. At least not yet anyway.

I think both will be around the same, around 15-20HP/TQ difference in parts of the powerband from playing around with it. Nothing like the 60+Hp claims we are seeing.

You can’t really find extra power in these engines, it’s more of a give/take scenario.

If I were you, I would pocket the money and use it for something else.

I do want to get all of the Carbon Fiber goodies that RW Carbon offers. Perhaps ill do that first and figure out a new set of wheels. The itch to mod everything is real. haha.
