yeah i should have pushed back for more detail as the explanation sounds dumb. I can only think maybe the AMG in the USA spec made more than 400hp

Anyone know if this is true. I was just told one of the latest updates downgrades the power because it was too high or in his words "too fast". Is there any way people can see the list of software updates and what they do online? I hope this isn't actually true but it was a tech that does the...

It was a T45 However a friend mech of mine said that could be that the bit may be slightly thinner then what's sold here although the same size technically . There was also another needed to remove the ac that has a torx bolt. That was wrong as well. I think it said a 10 but it was a 12.

The installation is not that easy if you do it on ramps. One of the problems is the suggested tool bits needed are incorrect. Thats leads to a lot of wasted times going to and from the auto parts store. I don't know may the sizing for stuff is different than USA/Euro. If you have the right tools...

More too come...its installed

Well sure as shit after the hundred bolts to get the panels off I get stuck at loosening the AC belt. The fucking thing won't budge at all

I'm thinking about just doing the downpipe and I have the performance catalytic converter and see where that lands me

I don't know maybe it's just that it's not the same in person but it sounds kind the same as stock.

Well that's good to know I guess the benefit is that it's lighter as well but I'm not really interested in a deeper tone to be honest. I like the higher pitch sound

Well it seemed the implication was that jp4 was different in some manner but I could see it's not

I guess the big question was it worth the effort and the cost

So this would be under the assumption the ECU got cracked no?

Cool... E85 would be a nice bump in power definitely take it over 500hp but will need some hardware upgrades

So how does that differentiate or will it or not

Any way to change the color of them like the 4 being yellow

So that's 460bhp. Yes similar to TDI estimate for the US Emira. Curious to the price point

Especially if it's just a plug in to the OBD2, easy peasy

Well not what I saw on their site for the A45. It's an obd2 plug in remap. https://www.renntechmercedes.com/index.php/products/mb/a/a-176/a-45/ecu_176_a_45-detail

did you click the link i made. I also emailed them and they confirmed. The AMG 400 as stock is more than 400hp

We officially have a new player and it's a big one! Video link..... https://www.facebook.com/share/1bBivTRjNi/

The US seems to have a much better system. One you would not have to tell your normal insurance company about any of that. Two what is even better is that you can get specialty car insurance that covers all your modifications if you were to have a loss. That's what happened to me and I got every...

Wow that's just crazy. Sorry you guys

Im baffled maybe a country thing. Why would you need to tell your Insurance company?

What does this mean exactly and how do they do this

Who knows what sensors are being altered and what that performance meter is accessing to estimate power. Have to use an external performance meter

I have to wait for the 1000 mile brea in cuz I know if I put this thing in I'm not going to be disciplined lol

Most warranty issues don't really involve taking the engine apart. I think one can hide it enough that it's not noticed. For any computer ECU connection put it in mode 1 and I believe it is bypassed electronically. I can always verify with TDI. Another option is to make a longer lead to boost 1...

Hey guys, I went ahead and scanned the install instruction in PDF for y'all, so you can determine for yourself...cheers

Guys the notion that this is difficult because of 3 connectors that basically swap right in and click is unfounded. The only reason why they may be some difficulty level is because one of the boost sensors is not as easily accessible from the top so you must take off the bottom diffuser and get...

Yeah have to disconnect the alternator and losen the belt to get to one of the boosts sensors

Ok which one of you are going to be the first to do an install video lol

Straight from , TDI Hi Yes the voltage range operates the same on both the 360hp and the 400hp version, This is just detuned via the ECU, The performance gains you will be looking at will be the same gains over the 360hp version, You will see a 50hp and a 50nm torque increase over the stock...

Well, the initial offering for final power and torque number by TDI were different between the 360 & 400. Remember they are working off the base tune. The base tunes are different and they need a different level of signal tricking to reach those targets. The 360 tune is not going to make as much...

So, you think the 400hp units will have lower net gain. Why is that? if the 360hp is getting 50hp why only 30hp for the 400hp

Well it seems the AMG unit is 19hp under-rated or the calibration was off. Going off that it seems its 50hp gain. So yes, 450hp or more

This color is all about the highlights for contrast. ie caliper and seat colors that pop of the the grey

Steve just to clarify this is with the 360hp unit and not the 400hp

Yes exactly we are on the same page! Here was my turbo Elise The sounds were amazing if we can get these cars to get even 50% it would be great
