sorry, www.speedtuningusa.com.
i live near them in the maryland area. i haven't got my sl55 to them because of weather, but i think you should try them instead of shipping to europe. they get their support from europe company. i was trying to find out a size of a larger pulley to use with the ecu upgrade, but others on the site will not give up this info from their upgrades. these guys have been selling on ebay and have many positive responses. let me know if i can help. next time i get to az i want to see your cars.

I'll check that site. The guys at DMS are saying that the SL55 doesn't use the boost that it already makes and that by doing the ECU mods I will get:
48hp/68ft lb torque and they also remove the speed limiter.
Which is exactly what I want. Look me up when in AZ

oliver's company does the same thing and will also remove speed limit for about $3-350.00. call him after you check out the site. the chippers are all offering the same programming. the real question is what is the pulley size the tuners are upgrading to. the pulley can be changed and this reprogramming will also work to produce more hp.

Its in the main fusebox under the bonnet.
On RHD cars, its on the driver side - so I suspect its also on the driver side on LHD cars.
Open fuse box, you can only see one control unit with 5 plugs in it - that is it.
Remove the end two (white I think), then you can remove the others one by one, and slide it up and out
I have a spare one ... (they thought it was broken on my car, took it out, put new one in, found it wasnt, so I got to keep old one after some negotiation!)(and the EIS and the AMG 200MPH cluster) - turned out to be a relay in the wrong place (mine was the 1st RHD SL55 off the production line, and the relays were put in as though it was a SL500)
