well pffelan...

when ECU's are remapped.. they certainly increase your HP and performance by a noticeable margin.

But make sure you have the right fuel grade ( octane levels ) in your country to support it. Otherwise you'll do something really bad to your engine!

cheers

the best way to remove your speed governor is to install a Vmax unit ( best in the market is BRABUS). Your top end should hit 270 kmh. BUT !!! remember that your instrument cluster has to have provisions for that otherwise you'll get wrong readings everywhere, you'll system will go nuts! Basically what i'm trying to say is that if u fit the brabus Vmax unit, you will also need to send your original instrument cluster to them so they would replace it with a Brabus one.

dont know...

just from experience cause a friend did the same to his SL500 and had major problems with his onboard computer.

the maximum indicated speed on all mercs here ( except AMG's ) are 260 kmh. The vmax unit takes your speed past that mark so thats where the problem starts!
