Lol at 500 whp and more. What world do you guys live in? This is a stage 1 turbo upgrade - it’s a stock housing! This will maybe add 50whp when they sort out the tuning. Is that bad? No! It’s a $3000 upgrade. Get your expectations in check.

Adam your expectations are too low
if a bmw 335 with stock housing and internal upgrades can do 520-530 there’s no reason these cars can’t.
Chris said he’s in the low 500s without being able to turn them way up

That is cool to hear, and I have heard similar with guys locally who have the bmw’s at the shop I go to.
Like you mentioned for the money if hypothetically it was achievable to get 550-575 hp at the wheels (theoretically that might be 675hp-ish at the crank assuming 25%+ drivetrain loss...btw I’m no expert) at what point given the limitations of uping the boost would upgrades to the cooling, fuel pump system be needed as well as will the OEM AMG transmission, pistons, axles etc handle the extra power?
Figure good discussion, if and when the “Stage 3 Turbo upgrade Green Light” is given 😁

I'm finding that with pretty much everything with my GLC. That's a shame because I'm ready to go all out with mine, but I guess I'm going to have to do it all custom myself. Well, what I can I suppose. I already did a complete custom dual intake system, put on catless downpipes, and let Eurocharged send me a tune. It's coming around, but I need more. Next up, some sort of way to lower the intake temps. I see potential... just got to make it work.
Sorry to hijack a C43 thread, but honestly I've searched high and low for an ACTIVE GLC forum/group with no luck. I get it, it's the AMG basturd child lol. But the C43 is pretty much the car version so most info works. And I may be putting the wife in one soon haha.
Also, what are you guys using to datalog/monitor? I'd like to at least keep an eye on things, but all I currently have is the Torque Pro app which was used more to check/clear CE lights years back.
Thanks guys!
