VR Tuned 3 Stage Power Pedal Demo Video
 

Hi. Please PM me for pricing for my 2011 Mercedes E350 ( W212 ) Sedan with AMG sport package. Thanks.

Done

I imagine this will change the total longevity of the engine and affect low end cruise comfort; Mercedes is more than capable of configuring this car to give you immediate response. This is typical of BMW converts; To be more concerned with that immediate response rather than the ideal of smoothely delivered power, not always maximum power.

I would invest the money simply to test it if you could reassure me that the maintenance costs dont occur 25% faster as well as throttle response... Its always a give and take.

I have a 2012 e350 bluetec sport, for the record and pricing. You can PM me for the sake of it, but im really interested in some clarification.

Your argument/claims make no sense, sorry. How can the butterfly valve opening faster in your throttle body cause your engine life to take a crap and your maintenance cost to increase?

Throttle tip in is set to be very smooth from the factory for two reasons:
1. To provide for the smoothest/most comfortable acceleration possible.
2. All throttle response and transmission tuning is done by the EPA. Their main goal is to get maximum fuel economy and preventing your car from down shifting as much as possible will increase fuel economy.

This device is literally a knockoff of a Sprint Booster, nothing else.

All it does is trick your mind by thinking the car is picking up faster by manipulating your throttle. So if on a stock car you push the gas 25% of the way down, you get 25% of your butterfly open on your throttle. However, with a device similar to this, if you depress the pedal 25% your butterfly valve opens 50%. Mentally your car's pick up has improved. It has the same effect of you starting off at 50% throttle all the time instead of 25%.

Whats your special price offer??

pm'ed

OK, I'll bite. How much?

What is a sprint booster? One of those race boxes that plug into rail and boost? Im a complete tuning newbie. No denial.

actually, the more i think about it... watching the video again here and there, driving my car and remembering what a dealer told me... "these cars have more problems from being babyed on the throttle than anything else;causing leaks, cracks etc". They say the babying of the pedal doesnt 'open the valve' as much, so carbon buildup and stuff makes it act funky. So likely this pedal tune might even help this car.... I just wanted some information. Clearly my question informs you im no car tech. Ive never changed a headlight... im good with computers though.

Like i noticed in E mode, no matter how lightly you tap it it has a tiny jolt... In S however, you cant feel anything pressing it hard or slow from a stoplight. Maybe this will help my twitchy stop-go in E predicament. Youd said that they tuned it for smoothness, but im wondering if they overdid it... Im no grandma driver but ive been able to low speed cruise in any car without feeling this jolt... COULD Be the steep torque gains from 1000-1500 rpms, but Im interested in trying this.

Will it work the same for a w212 2012 e350 bluetec?

id even buy other products from you guys, im just a customer that needs a little more explaining to... in this field.
Your a trusted resource of this forum, so why goto any other tuners than ones i find here. Would be interested in knowing if theres other VRTune products for my particular e class. brabus has a ecu chip for 2400$ for this one, that they say doesnt really do it because our 'injectors are smaller in usa' ?? I guess.. So the other companies offering the same thing for half price obviously are bsing... So it seems
Edit: like this item; VRT-121132-5

I would buy both of these with sommore information sir

OK, so basically it's a potentiometer curve adjustment from linear to something else, nothing else.

You, my friend, have a diesel E-Class. My suggestion to you would be to contact OE Tuning and have your ECU flashed with a new software. On a diesel you should experience MUCH better throttle response and a significant gain in power and torque. It would probably cost you less than this pedal modifier thing.
