2001 ML 320 Sport Pkg.
Performance Mods
Hello,
I am new to this forum. I own a 2001 ML320. I would to modify a few things. Has anyone successfully chipped or remap this engine? If so, what was the HP gain.
Oh, I am not going to buy a ML55. That's not the answer I am looking for. The last forum I joined was full of negativity. I am just looking to modify a few things like the exhaust, grill, bumper bar, and the interior.
Thanks

ML430, Mini Cooper S and Porsche 911 Twin Turbo
The ML320 is a normally aspirated engine.....
therefore any chip tuning likely raises the RPM limit slightly but will not improve performance significantly.
The same goes for 'performance' inlets, air filters and exhausts - indeed some of them can have just the opposite effect - but they 'sound' more powerful.
I'm yet to see any definitive dyno chart that proves beyond reasonable doubt that anyone of the above 'enhancements' actually work.
I'd suggest a Kleemann super charger.
