I've spoked to MKB and thier stage 1 is 540 HP but costs the same as Kleemann Stage 1 which is 520 HP...

Both 3400 EURO...

MKB - ECU upgrade, VMAX and optimased air duct intake

Kleemann - Pullies and ECU...

Looks nice MKB is very respectful tuner, I think one of its founder used the work for AMG...

Here more intesting staff on E55 engine conversion

Hello Russia!

You should not forget Carlsson performance upgrades....also a tuner with a very good reputation!

Ciao!
Sauerkraut

 

I just realized my mistake.

Another question though...

MKB is claiming 540hp after an ecu and intake swap? No swapping out pullies or anything like that either?

 

Yeah that what I am curious about...540 with just ECU and Cold air intake...

So they must increase boost from 0.9 to may be 1.0 or whatever abd 10 from air intake...

MKB claims 540HP and 735 torgues and Kleemann 520 HP but 750 torgues...

How come is that

 

All Hail Mkb

 

i already gone for stage 4 MKB i cant wait 4 it to finish and drive it

 

i already had MKB ECU and its good its really fast and u can feel it

 

links not working for me
also i have heard of no one using the MKB stuff other then a guy in dubi who crashed it

 

MKB highly regarded....but also pricy...

I like the fact that they do an overall conversion ... i.e. change the diff ratio , add LSD (even tough its the crappy clutch type), rework the tranny to beef it up and adapt its software..... v nice...

 

thats why Veloce ECU tuning is so also rated so high. and from reading couple of thread that on ecu tuning is better than just a pully and ecu.
I will know in couple of week. I will be installing Veloce ecu and will have a base and after dyno numbers.

 

I look forward to having my 'elves' make that wagon just a little crazier!

I had never really looked at the MKB number...and price. I guess we are doing a good job!

 

I have the full MKB 620hp package on my CLS55 and it runs great.

 

MKB doesn't run on high boost, but the boost will hold.
Other tuners may run higher boost, but their boost wouldn't hold at the top end. And moreover MKB have a very advance timming software. MKB seals off the secondary throttle inorder to hold boost.
