Used one of these on two previous car's with great results! Will be interested to see what you think. :happy2:

vRS Carl:
Not too shabby for a 1800kg wood burning stove

Standard car is 6.5secs

First attempt with the Tuning box fitted



This was the best run



:innocent:

That's impressive!

I know nothing about these tuning boxes compared with conventional brand name after market remaps, but on the surface that looks like a quick and cost effective way of software tuning. In my mind I'd always associated tuning boxes with eBay risk filled buys, but clearly can't be the case anymore if someone like yourself is putting them in your new 35k+ Benz  :happy2:

Are you still bothering with the Brabus map in the long run Carlos?

vRS Carl:
No as the Brabus is not a map but a tuning box which costs 6 times as much as the DTUK one :confused:

It also has to be fitted by a Brabus approved dealer (Not just any Mercedes dealer) for the warranty to be approved. So all in all I'm paying £1500+ for an extra warranty.

Tuning boxes have come on leaps and bounds these days. The one I'm using is a multichannel box which alters fueling and boost signals. It also comes with a 3yr warranty and I can take it to my next car as they just reprogram it for whatever you get next.

Nice.  :smiley:
