Question About OE Tune

Hello All,

First and foremost i would like to say that OE has been great in their customer service in helping answering all of my questions that i have asked them, and which is why i will more than likely go with their tune when the time is right.

I just have one question maybe some members here or even OE tuning could help solve. I notice that for their C450 and their GLC450 the tunes differ drastically yet the motors are identical. Please view the link below directly from their website:

http://oetuning.com/blog/tag/c450-tuning/

Does anyone know why this is? I just find it a bit confusing as i would like to see the gains from the GLC450 tune rather than the c450 since as i mentioned before it seems to be drastically more. But they are the same motors and no other mods but just a tune.

Thanks All,
Shazar

Def not arguing with the power, I just want to know why so much of a difference with the GLC and us c450/43 yet the same motors. It's just a bit confusing since they are saying more power with the GLC than the c450/43.

This link refers to the GLE43 tune as having a 16psi boost target. From what I've heard, the X43 cars run ~12psi stock.

Thanks for that. Do you where the power gain screenshots posted earlier are from? Didn't see them on the OE site.

Curious if that's power to the wheels or power to the flywheel. I have the Dinan piggyback for my c43 and in race mode, the boost gets increased by 4 PSI.
