K-box problems

Hi guys, writing from Australia and frankly only just joined up so I can work out a solution for my late 2004 C180K,recently fitted with K box only. Don't get me wrong,obviously good product,however after 2 days really awsome power and torque,the effect all of a sudden completely vanished. Unparalleled support and collaboration from Kleemann's team in Danmark(compared to Carlsson and Brabus) swapping it immediately and yet the second box only marginally improved the car's performance compared to standard engine.
Had plans to dyno it,now so frustrated don't wanna know.Does anyone have an idea if ECU is country or region specific,or what possibly could be the problem or is there anyone out there with similar type problem. Please HELP!!!

Did you dyno it before and after? If not, butt dyno could be very well due to placebo effects, which wore off after some time. You can get used to better power after some time!

Push the thread. Cuz about to add K BOX too.
Thought Kleemann should have a good rep for their products.
Maybe your second K BOx is a defect. Ask for a new one.

Did the shop install the K BOx run a road test on your car after you install it ?
U should make some noise to them as well..

Good luck.. anyone help please..
