A long screw driver with a small blade inserted between the white locking portion (which slides back when unlocked) and the black portion of the connector itself...then a slight twist...and you can feel the "click" once the white lock portion is unlocked.
Then you can pull out the connector from the intake pressure sensor.

Hello...hello....hello.....
Well, you can never be too careful....but a sharper photo would likely help.

Im guessing the dinan woun't make a noticeable difference in 0-60 times.
Just watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA7Nv7UjtZE
stock c43 with 367 HP/520NM vs tuned c43 434HP/643NM

In other words, if we're getting 40/40 and considering RennTech's dyno rated us @ 375/398, that takes us to roughly 415/440..........nothing to sneeze at.
So when also considering the 4-matic's grip, I hazard a guess that the extra is noticeable, and while probably not anything mind-blowing, probably something our butts will DEFINITELY feel. And like. In fact, if memory serves, someone here has posted we get some serious extra oomph in the mid-range, already a strong suit. Go-to-jail speeds come quickly in stock tune.
Better still, I've done basic upgrades on other vehicles that added about 15-20% more HP (30-40 something) via SLP or equivalent Cold Air Intakes, K&N hi flow filters, Flowmaster 40 series muffler upgrades. I felt that, so I'm optimistic.

Thanks for the link...good stuff. The guy put the Dinan unit on top of an already tuned car...and made even more power, love it!
First time I've read about the limp mode / check engine light issue...something to watch for I guess.

I've run my Dinan in Race mode pretty much since the day I got mine (I think I got it in the first batch after the 'trial' they did with a couple/few people). It has been fantastic, and the car runs like a scalded dog now. I think I'm going to get the OE tune next. Just need to figure out this wheel/brake wobble.. wtf

I had mine back in stock mode for a few days (was in race since I installed it), just to see the difference going back the other way to stock. Bone stock seems slow now!

I have the C300 unit. It's a modest change but I like it. Worth the money IMO. I typically have it at +3 PSI. There's also a Valet mode that reduces boost to -6. Handy if you have a teen driver.

Yep I keep mine in sport + all the time now with 91 octane . Went back to stock and said NO!! I like my new found power and been tha way ever since . Definitely worth it IMO as well

hi I bought one for my c-class 300 sport 2.0 and installed it and I have it set to tace mode but I don't know if I can feel the difference. There still lag at the start when taking off. I wonder if I uninstall it and see if there's a difference. Is your car the 6 with twin turbos?

FYI all- I got an email from one of the guys over at Dinan today . They are ready to develop an ELITE tuning solution for the 400,450,C43 variants and need a car as early as next week!. just passing this along so if there is anyone in the bar area who is interested send them an email to developmentcars@dinancars.com
