2015 C300 (W205) Tuning options help needed

Hello All,

I have 2015 C300 (W205) Sports model with all options that it can come with from factory. I love the car but been reading about tuning options for a while and now saved up to tune it for more power.

So for my research showed me i can gain 40 to 60hp with ECU tuner

VR Tuner 45hp gain / OE 61hp Gain / BMS 40hp Gain

complete AWE EXHAUST 7hp Gain ( Armytrix 15+hp gain not sure if Armytrix fits my c300 it says c250 w205 )

Intake ( AWE research and development ).

can you please give your opining which setup i should go with if i want 70 to 100hp gain?

my budget is around $3k to $3500.

Thanks in advance for your help.

For that power increase I'd be getting in touch with turbo kits, as an updated turbo and custom ECU would be required... They are just about to release the same for the cla250 (same block)...
With standard turbo, ECU and exhaust it seems the best are realising around 50hp.. Any are claiming more but legitimate independent comparison dyno and track testing is very thin on the ground.....
Turbo kits budget seemed to be in the order of 3k for turbo and ECU on the cla.. So around you budget....
