C55 Tweaks
Likely old news for the veterans here, but thought I'd share my recent experiences.
I installed a Eurocharged tune a couple of weeks ago, and then added Green filters a week later.
The tune really woke the car up, much better bottom end, throttle response, and seems stronger everywhere at WOT. I had just replaced the air filters with new OEMs when I bought the car, the filters had under 300 miles on them. The Green filters augment the tune in every way, the car is noticably more responsive everywhere since they were installed.
The C55 is my dd, so I'm going to leave things alone from here out, but these basic mods really woke up my car, it was money well spent.

C55 tunes from what I remember only yeild 10-15 HP and those green filters have been known to break down and get sucked into the intake. I don't really see the need for either of these. I rather keep it safe.

Are you sure about those numbers? I have never seen that much gains from a tune. On Eurocharged site they only state 25 to the crank and I was quoted that it ranges from 10-15 also K&N filters have caused issues with their oil getting sucked into the MAF and causing it to malfunction. If you really got 23whp then it would probably be worth it.

Regarding the tune, I did not do a before and after dyno so I cannot comment on actual numbers, however my butt dyno says there are noticeable gains. To add I can feel that I don’t have a torque/HP peak more so a plateau of power through the RPM range.

I didnt have the best dyno condtions. I think my base run would have been higher. My mods before the tune were exhaust, and K&N filters. I would like to get a tcu tune as well.
