Tuning options
Looking for an ECU tune for our GLA's. Anyone know if the CLA250 ECU tunes will work on the GLA? Needs just a little bit more torque. LOVE these vehicles so far, great for city living, especially if you live near nature as well. Very versatile.

If you were in AZ, we would bring you in and test our tune on your car.

I wish! Thanks for the thought

Any thoughts on when we may see a tune here in the USA? I know they have rolled out at least one tune out in the U.K. for the GLA as I was digging around last night.

thanks for the reply

Now that you mention it, is there anything different between the engine and transmission (other than the chip) b/w the GLA250 and GLA45?

I can only assume that the AMG version has more forged parts, allowing for higher boost (26+ lbs)

I think the GLA250 could safely add at least another 30hp and 50ft lbs torque.

at 3,318lbs, 300ft lbs of torque would be a well-balanced little crossover.

oh, and I have read that AMG uses the same transmission, however, they have a different TCU tune
