I installed this on
Mercedes-Benz CLA-200
Review
Self purchase direct from Germany. Less than $400. Self install.
This is a piggy back system basically altering the input from turbo pressure sensor and manifold pressure sensor, thus fooling ECU to compensate for shortfall whilst at the same time coercing a pre determined torque / rpm curve.
I am assuming the additional bhp increase is only calculable at max rpm. This is not that important, what is important is the achievement of a specific rpm, torque, gear ratio, road speed formula calculated by Race Chip.
Needless to say this must be with original engine perimeters. The Race Chip algorithm works best on a completely stock / original set up.
What I like
Speedier gear changes, seemingly extended torque presence and sharper responses.
What I do not like
The set up's strength lie in its superior algorithm not specifically out and out bench specs. Improvement. Akin to Polestar on my other car the tuners have manages to satisfy both credentials.
