Ok guys i got even a better deal once we have 10 people you cannot back out you need to be 100% in this or you will ruin the group buy for everyone.
If your ECU is located on top top of the engine, you must send it out for programing price is $300 if your ECU is on the side the price is $200 and you can leave $500 deposit for them to send you the programmer.

Wait why do the ECU on the side get the programmer and not the ECU on top of the Engine? UnFair!

Please be conservative in your power estimates... don't expect the moon (25+ is unrealistic). ECU gains are often exaggerated. Hardware gains will always exceed ECU gains so keep that in mind. With that said you will make good gains and it is a good upgrade to have for this price.

Been on a couple spirited drive and maxed out at about 135mph while the car feels like it still wants to go faster. Very disappointed. Can't wait to see how fast the car can go.

Ha, Ha! We both have a 2004 CLK500, reread the first post for ECU removal info. You can pay by Paypal too.

I agree, for the money, there really isn't any other alternative. Other ECU tuners make absurd claims and charge 2-3x the price for pretty much the same real world gains.

Its essentially a stage 1 software file, its one that will work on almost any benz stock or light to moderately modded. Even on stage 4, it still does the job well so its a great all around tune that isn't too aggressive to cause a CEL, yet its enough to definitely make a legitimate impact.

Hopefully 2 more can do it, this may be the closest anyone has ever come to actually completing a group by on MBworld ;y ...

Count me in to the GB. I have an '05 CLK500, and the ECU is in the same location as in the photo in the first post, which looks like it is "on the side". It is mounted vertically on the side of the fuse holder inside the fuse box. It is about the size and shape of a desktop hard drive (although it is a little bigger), and has five wiring harnesses plugged into the top of it. Two of those wiring harnesses are removed in the photo in the first post.

Let's get this GB going!
