Its 15 Hp - pretty worthless unles you open up the intake & exhaust to extract a little more power (ie like 35 Hp.....then maybe its worth it). The other option is to just get a Kleeman blower ).

See ya,

Forget the tuner..just found out it's not a plug in download
handheld for the US as it's designed for 95 Octane. They will however update your ECU if you send it...not worth the trouble IMO.

These are kinda cool, and very affordable too Are our little bulbs orange to begin with? Can't remember ...

"CHROM INDCATOR BULBS - These BULBS just act like normal orange indicator bulbs while under power. But if not they just seem to be invisible because of the special designed chrome paint coating. A must for your car. See the difference! The bulbs come in packs of two as shown on the picture!
Price: £5.88 [$11.16] (Including: VAT at 17.5%)"

It's just another web address for www.r171.info

They've been around as either a sponser here or at that other Benz forum.

However, numerous people have complained about their response time on shipping.
