Hi,I'm a newbie to this though I've been looking through this forum for some time now.I bought my c32 in March after looking for one for more than 6 months..Here's my dilemma..When I bought it,the seller said it had 410hp and close to 500nM,but couldn't find the paperwork to verify it..I'd test driven a few before this so knew it wasn't stock..He said he'd forward the paperwork to me.....I'm still waiting...
I've done a lot of web searching and am now pretty certain it's has a code3 pulley and intake but this certainly doesn't make up the numbers..I think it might have had an ECU tune but I don't know..Can anybody help??

I would recommend taking it to a dyno - they will be able to tell you weather the vehicle has been tuned or not via air fuel ratio. Remember your rumor number for horsepower is at the flywheel not the rear wheels.

I've been meaning to that for a little while but thought I'd ask the question here first...But I guess you're right,I'll book it in in the next week or so and let you know how I get on.Thanks

The seller told you how much power it had but not how? Sounds legit.

my old C32 with C3 pulley, intake, heat exchanger, and EC tune made 345 whp on a dynojet. THis was with a boost leak. If you had 15% to that, you would be close to that figure.

Yeah some people are scumbags and liars when selling a car... however you've got some mods. Where abouts are you? I suggest you take it to a dyno and get it sorted out. With those mods you may have a nice car on your hands. Welcome to the w203 sucked all my monies away but I'm still happy with my car club.

Cheers moosejaw..I think I'll get to dyno'd in the next couple weeks when I've let my bank balance recover after its Xmas thumping....

Although there are some scumbags out there,I don't believe I've been lied to speed7..Everything else seemed legit..Just lack of mods paperwork...I looked at a couple mercs and once I done some digging around it turns out the mileage was close to 80000 miles out.

I live in England ...Where the sun rarely shines so no need for a heat exchanger

Purchaser pontificating puffery perhaps?

I’m estimating 410 RWHP ±1%.
