Have had the UPD kit for a couple of weeks now. No idea what the gain is since I did a retune at AMS after installing this kit as well as the catted downpipes.

Would you say it's a noticeable difference in power when you had the UPD kit installed? What exactly is the UPD kit and what does it do if I may ask. Thanks.

The UPD kit is just a spacer that lifts the filter out of the air box to increase volume. I can't say I notice the difference because my car does 620 hp and 750 tq at the wheels, so any increase would be relatively small. What I can say is that peak HP now happens at about 5000 rpm and it is pretty flat until redline.

I was reading this: https://mbworld.org/forums/w212-amg/615916-150-hp-peak-200-hp-mid-range-gains-over-stock.html
And thought that was what you got. So this means you got the UPD kit without the performance crank pulley? Same supplier as the attached link?
Thanks.
