The reason I am selling them is because I ended up getting the UPD Cold Air Induction kit which comes with it's own filters. No codes were thrown while I had these filters.

How long have you had the UPD cold air induction kit and what is the HP/TQ gains Jose.

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.

Any sound difference with the UPD? More turbo noise?
