ECU Tuning Question

Hey guys,
got a couple of questions i got a C63 2012 W204 amg
1) How do i know if i have the development package ? i have the red calipers & the sport wheel but idk if they all have that (this does not need to be answered )
2) i'm trying to decide what tuning to go on the EOtuning or renntech
on the EOtuning side its cheaper for me to buy it and it says its the same results (except idk if the governor is increased on it )
and on the other side i've heard that renntech is the best as far as tuning

There's a dime a dozen of tuners. Hard to truly say one is better than the other. Id go with who ever your local shop recommends - be it that they actually work on Mercedes and know what they are talking about. Where are you located at? development package can be found on the vmi or looking at the intake manifold - if its dark grey it should have it.

Or also just look at color of intake manifold
If bright silver = NO development package
If dark gray = development package

Finally

Red calipers and the Alcantara are the easiest way to spot the P31 package. As was mentioned, the intake manifold color generally confirms you have it.
