VR Tuned Box
Recently ran across this product offering, but I have not seen any discussion.
It is $800, but provides substantial gains over other piggyback designs.
Has anyone installed this product?
Here is information that I copied from the manufacturers site.
BTW, not an ad... Just information on a product that I'm curious about.
Tuning Box kit for the Mercedes C43 AMG twin-turbocharged V-6 engine. This tuning box kit is a plug and play solution to tune your cars fuel, timing, and boost giving you up to 40% more power and 20% fuel savings. The new C43 AMG packs a punch producing 362bhp. With our ECU Tuning Box kit the C43 AMG gains 80bhp and 100nm of torque over stock! Besides are European manufacturing partner testing and validating the Tuning Box, we also had a car tested State side on a Dyno Dynamics AWD dynamometer. We rate the tuning box gains at 80bhp. Typical drive train loss is about 20-25% for AWD. At 20% this would put the wheel horsepower gains at around 60 horsepower. As noted on the product this is using higher 98 octane in the UK. Its peak all wheel horsepower gains were at 40awhp. Several variables can account for different dyno readings such as air temperature and especially fans creating a driving like scenario for the intercooler and air intake system.
