2003 C32 AMG
ECU upgrade
Hi, I was wondering if anyone got the upgrade ecu from renntech or any other tuner. I am possibly interested in it, mainly to increase the throttle response and slight power increase.
Please let me know if there was a noticeable improvement. The C32 has a very sluggish gas pedal compared to what I am used to. It would be great if the ecu reprogramming fixes the "hesitation" (not really hesitation but mercedes trademark sluggish pedal).
Thanks!!!

Porsche Turbo Stage 4, Cayenne S ... gone C43, C32, ML55 & Ducati 999.
Well,
I did the H&S tuning chip in my old C43 and it worked excellent. Since at the H&S site has been then C32 tuning chip, I call Thomas Scholz, and he sent me the Invoice to start the transaction.
Price with shipping, no VAT, $ 1,254 Euros;
Result: between 25-30 hp depending the gas octane; and 35 Nm or 26 lb-ft torque.
No speed limiter

I think Renntech is selling the package for $3500 now. I paid more. I had a ton of time slips alll of which have been recycled. 60 ft times right at 2 seconds if I remember correctly.
Did the chip myself, just pull the ecu and send it to rennech. Paid about $180 for the pulley install.
