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!!!

Second to that, Superchips (a credit ECU tuner) replied me
"No way to further improve the performance of C32AMG"

so did they help my CLK50K.

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.
