Just found this online and looks interesting enough that it's easy to install and provides for a decent power bump. I like the car stock, but wish the throttle response was a bit quicker. Not sure if it's the turbo-lag or general programming, but it's a bit slow to respond at first and then takes off as I wanted initially.

Any other "power kits" available for the 2012 S350?

Thanks

I am using the DTUK and it works really good. Contact Andrew.

Which system are you using, CRD-T or Pedal Box?

T.H.Carrera

CRD-T. No codes or issues, car pulls like a monster.

To address the lag, perform the adaptive transmission reset procedure and you should feel instant power.

Ahhhh that's right, I totally forgot about this!!! Can't wait to try it tonight, thanks for reminding me.

What is the install like? Can I do it myself or need to have a shop do it? Thanks

T.H.Carrera

Well have you ever worked in the engine compartment? The install is easy, comes with instructions in English. You have to tap two sensors.... Boost and Rail. To do the install the "right way" you will need a good 30 minutes so you can properly route the wires so they are not touching the HOT parts of the engine and that the main "brain" sits as far away from the Hot engine as possible.

I would not pay someone to do this, since you should be able to do this. You will need to remove it before taking it in for service.... so might as well do it yourself and become an expert.

Alright guys, its that time ! Gonna be trading the car in for a CLS and thus have to let go of this Diesel Piggy back tuner chip. Will be listing it in classified but wanted to give a heads up before I do that.

It is us DTUK Multichannel unit:

I just left a message with Andew. DTUK does not list a US Spec CRD-T modules for the S350 Bluetec. Could you tell me which module you purchased?

T.H.Carrera

Save some money and get the one from Racechip.de

About $150 shipped from Germany. Request VAT be removed fromt he price and they will honor that.

Works better than the DTUK.

ImInPA

Thank you for the information Sir!!! I have been trying to decide thetween the Racechip and the DTUK. I am surprise that the Racechip works better. The DTUK controls both fueling and boost, while the Racechip controls only fueling. I would think the DTUK would be better. I will likely try the Racechip.

ImInPA

One question: You stated in a post back in 2012 that the DTUK was superior to the Racechip because it controls boost and fuel. You said the Racechip would damage the particulate filter. Has something changed in the product that you now recommend Racechip over the DTUK unit you have? Just curious.

T.H.Carrera

I ran racechip in my e350 bluetec and no issues. So why spend $500 vs $150 for same power gains.

Could you provide instructions how to do it or point me to right direction where to get them ?

Thanks.

P.S. never mind....Google is the best source of info, thanks for educating me

T.H.Carrera

My bluetec has been returned so the racechip is about to go on the classified forum for sale. Just a heads up. If anyone is interested, let me know asap.

Thanks.
