Lots of 1/4 times, and the setups people are using...Eurotuned, AMR, OE, BMS JB1 or JB4, etc. take a look and what lines up with what your goals are...

Every one of the options above will leave traces of the tune, and your warrant will be voided if you experience issues. MB can detect that your ECU was flashed, even if you return it to stock. If you value your warranty, don't do any of the above. I'm not saying they're not reliable, only that if you have issues with the powertrain after a flash, you're definitely going to be on the hook for it.
Having said all that, there is also the piggyback route. A piggyback doesn't change the ECU at all. It plugs into the harness feeding into the ECU and intercepts the signals from the car's network. The piggyback massages those signals, lying to the ECU about what the inputs are, and the ECU modifies things on its own. It can be removed before a dealer visit with lowered chance of being discovered, but it's not undetectable. These days, an inventive manufacturer. has the ability to detect anything you do to the ECU. ANYTHING. I've been in IT for over 30 years, and I can imagine ways to find either method, and I'm not even a manufacturer. I'm sure they can dream at least as big as I can.
The best tune that I've seen, as in consistent and not damaging the motor, while providing the best performance, is Eurocharged. They also have a warranty that extends to your motor, which is relatively unique, at least at the power levels they produce. The best piggyback is hands down the Burger Motor Sports JB4. No contest.
