$25 per HP, not too bad for an upgrade. Certainly cheaper than the other ones I looked at.

PoaMike · 01-25-2008, 12:46 PM

I will wait the W204 is to new so that mean more $$$$$ for MODS

e1000 · 01-31-2008, 10:28 PM

I'm getting my SI ECU flash done this saturday!!!!!! (same M272 engine as the W204)

yxc145 · 07-23-2008, 02:31 AM

are you sure POWERCHIP got an ECU upgrade for the W204 model? doesn't seem it is ready based on the information i found on their website....

StickyZ · 07-23-2008, 10:51 AM

i checked. they don't have one for C350 yet.

nbturbos · 07-23-2008, 11:22 AM

Wow, I haven't heard the name speed tuning USA in a long time. They did the chip for my turbo S beetle when it first came out. Good people to deal with.

racetested · 07-23-2008, 11:51 AM

I'll be working with http://www.letmotorsports.com/ later this Fall(maybe sooner) to create a tune if they don't have one by then.

cybertechc300 · 07-24-2008, 08:29 AM

hey i got my ecu flashed by speedinnovations its good alot of mid end and high end..you will definetly fell the difference on the car..its worth the money go for it bro...im actually asking my contact if they can flash my car again for my new MODS

yxc145 · 07-24-2008, 09:52 AM

I just found out that Speed Innovation guy used to work with EuroRev. He started his own company, but they are still working closely together. I had my W211 done there before. It's not bad.
Price is fair. I would suggest going to them.
I do have one question... will mod ECU void the warranty?
My old dealer never really detected the mod when i had my W211.
My new dealer is very anal about aftermarket parts. They alreardy gave me shxt about H&R spring and wheels...

Flame3g · 07-24-2008, 12:47 PM

otoupalik · 07-24-2008, 05:22 PM
