I am interested in modifiying my engine to produce more hp. Has anyone here done this before or know of sites that carry aftermarket parts such as intake or "turbo-chips" for the C230? I have an '06 C230WZ and would like to get 20-30 or more horsepower out of the engine.
If you're thinking about getting your car chipped, check with Speedtuning-usa and talk to Oliver. He'll help you out for a great price. I have mine chipped throught them and love it. I have a 2005 C230Kompressor SS. I've been wanting to get it Dynoed but have not yet figure out how to turn off the ABS to put it into testing mode. Mention that Devin sent you when talking to Oliver, he should hook you up.
So...... and here's probably a really dumb question:
If I drop a chip in my 02 C320 and get an extra 18 hp from that, and the "feel" of an extra 20 or so from the sprint booster - am I going to get a "seat of the pants feel" that I've got an extra 38 ponies? :eclipsee_steering:
(Then I can go buy those AMG badges I've been lusting after.... )
I don't think you will feel any difference with a chip other than the placebo effect. The reason being is the 18hp is probably some dyno anomoly and exists only for a split second. Get real dynos from them showing the 18HP, I bet most of the time it's half that. The Sprint Booster you will feel as the throttle response is instant (MBs are known for sluggish starts).

I second that "dumb" question, which is not so dumb to begin with...
So...If you have the ECU upgrade and pully, belt, intake from Speed Tuning, along with the Sprint Booster it will really be like an extra 20-30 HP? Has anyone setup like this? I'm a newbie to the forum and I've been doing a lot of research on aftermarket mods(there's not many for the M271).
