Performance chip location in my '03 C230
Hey all I was told by the previous owner there was a performance chip that was added to the car. Where in the world could I check to see if this is true.
Thanks (totally clueless)

It would be a reprogrammed ECU. The common scenario is that the ECU is removed, sent to a shop for reflashing, mailed back and re-installed. You won't see a difference.

So I can JUST do the pulley and not the ECU upgrade and get good results?

What I meant was that there isn't a visible change to the ECU. It's just flashed. The only visible sign that it has changed is the grin on your face and/or thinner wallet

I've chipped my car while under warranty for the last 1.5 years of it. In fact, ON TOP of the K-Box I was chipped and STILL my warranty wasn't void.. then again, I had awesome service advisors.
