Hi All - Been on this forum for four years after I got my 2020 AMG 43. Like everyone else I hate the dangerous acceleration lag when you hit the gas pedal from a stop that plagues this engine. In my mind it's inexcusable that Mercedes let this car out into the wild with this flaw. Question is, can a tune or mod fix this, and if so, which should I get and where?

TIA,
Tim

The lag is mainly caused by going from low oil pressure mode to normal oil pressure mode, if you are up to it, unplug the oil pump solenoid, more on it here: https://mbworld.org/forums/w212-amg/...solenoids.html

That “flaw” exists in all turbocharged. Engines. The turbos aren’t spinning fast enough to provide much boost. Some manufacturers are better at reducing the lag. Some are now electrifying the turbos to keep spin up. if you are at a stop, just step on the accelerator a bit before releasing the brake.
