We go deep on the upgrades that unlock your Mercedes: ECU/TCU calibrations, intake systems, turbo paths, and cooling—backed by logs and dyno results.
Expect side-by-side comparisons, installation notes, and practical guidance to match parts with goals—daily drivability, track days, drag passes, or towing.
Build smarter, not louder.
Turbo Air-Intake Design Considerations Real-world guidance for turbo engines: sizing, transitions, sensor placement, thermal control, and 3D-printing choices—plus a quick validation checklist. TL;DR — The Big Wins Diameter: size for your peak mass flow, keep pre-compressor Mach < 0.30. Geometry: use a smooth velocity stack + gradual taper; avoid sharp […]
We just added notable new products today including the IXI, One, PTG Flex Fuel Analyzer, and the ModalWorks M177 Connecting Rods. The IXI and ONE by MMS and AT respectively are personal OBD flashers. These represent a rare entry at their price point and are notable for their sub $400 […]
There are some basic things one must get to start to print reliably well. This isn’t exactly intuitive either, but they are Leveling Layer Adhesion Build Plate Adhesion Environment If any of these are off a failure or weak point in a print can occur. However if some of these […]
I just published a video which will represent a teaser of the information one would acquire by signing up for our $99 per month tuning school on youtube.
Opening exhaust valves can be done with a module or via coding. This is a good option for those who have a broken valve or those who have replace the valve who do not wish to have a hard fault. This is also a good option for those who wish […]
Colder spark plugs are better suited to high engine loads and perform worse in cold start and idle. Adding E85 or an e flex tune like E30 along with colder spark plugs may make your idle even rougher. See this video for more information: Spark plugs have a temperature range […]
For our October 2024 our promotion will be $250 off of all of our tunes. Check out our video announcement here: https://youtube.com/shorts/p-k20SxnG9w
We have just finished another update of our M276 air intakes. In this revision provisions were made for the MAP sensors. We made this version by deleting a space in our tubing and adding an extruded tube with the appropriate dimensions. These air intakes are printed out of polycarbonate and […]
Understanding ECU Bench Flashing ECU benchflashing is done by taking the ECU out of the car and connecting directly to the output pins. Benefits of Bench Flashing ECU bench flashing is considered the safest way to write or read to a car’s ecu if the option exists. Preparing for Bench […]
After keeping my C63 stock for as long as I could. Perhaps falsely believing stock may be better, I decided that she needed some upgrades in the sound deadening, which then led to upgrading the center speaker and subwoofer, and then to performance upgrades. I have spent a lot of […]

Two powerful heuristics to increase drivability and improve performance are copying the MBT tables over to the similar base tables and changing the manual wastegate duty cycle table. Some things to note The MBT or optimum spark tables and base tables have slightly different axis Ensure that you copy the […]
You can often adapt AMG tables to similar non-AMG engines. Once I have dug into the tune file and compared against AMG, I began to realize Mercedes are somewhat meant to be tuned and out of the gate are a solid platform to start from. There are a few things […]
In this video I discuss the process of unlocking a Mercedes ECU with HP Tuners. A few important things to note: An internet connection is needed when flashing Not necessary to remove ECU First read and write is very long Subsequent changes are quick No credits are needed for […]
