I would say it's a rip-off, read reviews and states it's nothing more than a resister with two wires to wire into your ECU. Claims 37hp+ yeah right.

Rip off dont do it, there was a good deal from a tuner on mbworld forum 20hp and 20 torque for a reasonable amount I dont recall their name but I think Ynot knows what I am reffering to.

Speed innovations in So Cal will re-flash your ecu for $569, and dyno it to prove the results.

hmm, I'm not sure why but they had a thread started on mbworld. So I know they support MB's.

I will sell you an "intake supercharger" which is like a mini turbine that you put in your airduct. I guarantee 50whp. It costs $50. Any takers?

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. ECU flashes are the best bang for the buck from stock, given that you're not going the supercharger route (you'll have to re-flash).

This product is complete BS.

ECU reflashes are only effective if you have installed intake/headers/pullies, or elese your factory map would give you the best performance.
