Photos of my CLA 45, Info gathered & tuning progress
Alright, so here's a link to my photo album of my CLA 45.
2014 CLA 45 AMG
I went ahead and attached my data logger to my car and used Torque to get some readings. Based on what I saw, after warmup, the max throttle the car puts down WOT is 87%. In Comfort mode, boost peaks around 18-19 psi, shifting @ 6K. Sport Mode I've seen peak boost at 23 psi, and it holds it up to 6000 rpm, which I think is pretty impressive. However, I'm not seeing any peak boost of 26.1 PSI.
Either it's got something to do with the AMG Performance exhaust option I added on, or MB is being conservative in the engine as usual. Either way I'm real pleased because it means there's definitely play room.
On Tuesday, I'm taking the car over to BenzWorks & OE Tuning so they can start prototyping. They're working on a down pipe, a modified AMG exhaust, and an ECU tune. I'll have baseline dyno results + after results.
Looking real forward to the results!

FINALLY some real news regarding the tuning of these cars!! Im anxiously waiting for a US tuner to bring a *US* tune to the table. Thus far all the tunes are being done over the pond and then re-sold here. Adding a larger down-pipe, deleting the cat, and coupling all that with a tune should yield some amazing results. Please keep us informed!!

I agree with you I did log my car with Torque as well.. All I am getting is 18-19PSI normally and in "S" and ESP sport, I get 22.5PSI. I was thinking something wrong with my car.

UPDATE:
Car's currently over at BenzWorks/OE Tuning. What they're looking to test fit is the down pipe, flex pipe, possibly get specs on the intercooler/heat exchanger for upgrade options, work w/BMC for either a better drop-in filter or a kit, and the ECU tune.
Once I get the car back Monday, I'll have more info.

UPDATE:
I just got my car back. They finished test fitting and working on their prototypes. The mods that will be available will be a down pipe, custom cone air filter and the ECU tune.
Down pipe/filter should be done by next week. ECU tune should be ready in 2 weeks. Once they're ready, I'm taking the car back. They'll do a baseline dyno, dyno with each individual part, then dyno with all parts on.
I did talk w/Serge about it and yes, there will be group buys available as soon as they're finished, so get ready gentlemen.
I can't wait to see the upcoming results.
