2013 MB C250 Sport RWD
New to MBWorld and 1st time MB owner!

Finding lots of great info here so far! Just bought a 2013 C250 Sport...loving it so far... already noticing the turbo lag I've read about here.. hoping I can do some of the recommended mods to fix that.. For the driving I do(daily commute to work in traffic) its pretty great. So overall I'm happy with it....so far...

Thx!!

Welcome to MBWorld. Grats on the purchase! A tune reduces a lag, but doesn't completely eliminate it.

Thanks! Good to know. Any recommendations on where to start first. Seems like the upgrade by Burger Motorsports is a good starting point. It's a daily driver and most likely I will be trading it in in 2-3 years ...already eyeing C300 for the bigger motor and AWD. However I was reading that a 250 with a few upgrades can be competitive with the V6 in the 300. I like the dual exhaust of the 300.
Thx again!!

Honestly, if you're looking to get rid of it in a couple years, not sure if a tune would be worth it. Maybe you can get something like a Sprint Booster which basically amplifies your gas pedal output. Doesn't really make the car faster, but makes you feel it's faster as your car things you're lead footing it. Reason I suggest it is many enjoy the driving experience more with it with improved throttle response and it's something you can later take off and try to sell to recoup some of your investment.
