ML350 bluetec Anyone familiar with stage 1 remap ?
Having issues with adblue heater got me in these dark shallow roads lol
Talked with someone at APR to turn off by programing my bluetec system
And they suggested to do stage 1 remap and dpf egr delete also
This car has a 2998cc engine turbocharged and only 211 hp
Would there be problems if i go for Stage 1 271 hp ?
Benefits as ive heard it will lower fuel consumtion and less part to worry about except emission standarts that i wont have problems cuz my country has low emission standarts
Will going for 271hp reduce lifetime of turbo and engine or this engine big enough for those hp ?

HP increase is often achieved by overfueling which results in reduced cooling so understand that engine parts will be subject to more heat thus acceleration of thermal wear. Oil & air filter, coolant changes should be more frequent with modifications. Heat is the gradual killer. Definitely eliminate if possible EGR, DPF, SCR as these will kill engine quicker. Get a portable laser thermometer to map hot spots on engine. Turbo exhaust side & valley where oil cooler seals live are good locations to be concerned with especially.
