2017 C43 AMG Cabriolet Black/Cranberry Red
Just as an FYI to some people in posts above. I had a choice and freedom to buy either a C43 or C300. And...surprise surprise I went with the latter one because it just handles better. Granted, I swapped the entire suspension and tuned it to my taste (exactly what I'd do with a C43 too), but it was an easy decision because of the fact that the 2.0 is so much lighter than a 3.0TT. And that alone pretty much sold me. Much faster and better response, unspoiled handling, and just joy from turning the steering wheel without having a heavy pendulum before the front wheels... ahem Audi style.
Thank god the world is full of people who appreciate sophistication more than just brute force. That's why we have Lotus, Ariel, the MX-5, and 4C. Going fast in a straight line and racing between the lights ...it's fun for a few moments, I guess. But going around a canyon road is much more fun. And, no offense to anyone, I'd take a C300, 4C or even MX-5 any day over a C43 with it's heavy engine spoiling all the fun. It was my choice and who gives a crap if some don't agree with it?
On a side note, I came here here from the Jaguar, BMW, and Subaru forums. And all I've seen here so far is just a bunch of pointless yelling around by people who, for only them known reason, get offended about others' choices and decisions.
Like Jesse rightfully mentioned - you want something to happen - freaking do it or put your money into it. Otherwise it awfully seems like a gene pool pollution and a good example of why inbreeding is bad. #something
P.S. Sorry, @Turbokits. It was completely off topic, but at least it put you up top haha

This turbo will flow about 30% more than stock at MAX, but it's not just a peak HP or peak flow game here. The stock turbo is fun, but drops off quickly, we'll make more peak power, but expand the usable powerband by a few 1000 RPM with huge power increases under the curve.

may I know if you have any more information about this turbo kit? Is there a official thread relate to this topic? Would like to know the gains and most importantly the installation to see the degree of difficulty. I have a c200 which I believe is the same engine as the C300. This seems like a good power upgrade if the turbo is easy to swap out.

Sounds good, the only thing we are waiting on is confirming the #s with the AMR tune. We already have International customers who ordered one to take to their local tuner as well as a US customer. So we should have multiple results coming in shortly.

Yes, hardware-wise has never been a question the turbo is solid, has been upgraded and can flow more than the stock, but without the tuning results to show (which we are working on), there isn't any info on the end results of the turbo. However, the turbo will make more power, there is no doubt about that.

As soon as Us and AMR are satisfied with the tune. Otherwise, if you have your own tuner, we can build the turbos for anyone interested.
