I dunno, I had read that the OE ECU tune and some of the other ECU tunes push the PSI to 17-18 pounds.

Was quite surprised when I saw 17 on the dinan unit readout. It is connected to the boost sensor.

But you feel the car really strong or just a little more responsive, i order a few weeks ago the tune just waiting for the tracking number, i want to no if the difference is very noticeable

I think it's more responsive. I'm coming from a Cayenne Turbo which pushes you back in your seat once the turbos spool up so it's hard for me to say this car, after the tune, has that type of feeling.

We're picking up my wife's c43 coupe this week so I'll have her drive my car for a few days to see if she notices the difference between my dinan tuned car vs her stock c43

sterz, have you noticed any affect on the exhaust crackle? i know some of the tuning products have eliminated the C450's crackle so curious about the Dinan chip.

The crackles are still there; however, they have always been quiet on my car. Unless you're paying attention, you probably won't notice them.

I'll be ordering the awe exhaust in the next two weeks. Hopefully that will put me close to the stock PE exhaust, those crackles were just violent.

Guys, I have been calling Dinan for the past hour with no response. I still have not received tracking for the orders. I hope everyone can understand we are just a dealer on Dinan's behalf and just relaying the message from them...

Golan, here's a hint: if someone is pissing on your leg and calling it rain, best you not repeat the forecast.

Me. It's an easy install and a good value, with (SUBJECTIVE) mild results. For the IPhone, the app is flakey and best used only as a switch, not a monitor.

It seems only one fellow has posted dyno results and the hope is for more.

Other than the app, it seems Dinan met the stated target of a tune for the masses, and as one would expect, it appears to me of high quality.

I put mine in on Fri. Install couldn't have been easier and I'm happy with the results. $300 well spent! Won't be putting it on the dyno as I could care less about exact #'s. Car is definitely more responsive!

Did you lose the crackle, initially?

Did it return over a short time to some level?

Subjectively, how would you describe the power increases with 3psi and C? S+?

I figured as much as monitor. Hope others keep chiming in with similar results. Looks like I'll buying this

The crackle is still there. Maybe even a little moreso on the downshifts. Immediately after install I switched to race mode which I believe is a 4psi increase. I definitely feel more pull whether in C or S+.

I was with my lady all weekend so will have a better feel when I'm alone and do a little more spirited driving.

I also don't really care or have a use for the app other than switching modes. May use the valet mode sometimes but probably just stick to race

Hmm, could be my problems with the app didn't result in boost, initially.

Hi Golan,

You got a PM.

Having difficulties ordering this off of the Dinan website as I am located in Canada. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Cheers.
