Tuning for...
Does anyone know where I could have my Mercedes CLK55 AMG tuned or possibly de-restricted for a reasonable price?
Been quoted £1100 for the above but that seems a little steep for my liking!
Also had a quote for taking it from standard power (367bp) up to 490bhp at a whacking sum of £16,000!
Any help would be useful

JJ on here has a mate with a tuned SL55 AMG, but thats not much more than a pulley kit and a remap basically.
Dont know anyone with your specific car though.
1100 quid to derestrict is fucking mental, its only changing 1 digit in the ecu on most cars!

Doesn't Phil/Bosch Man have any stuff/ideas/etc etc where is can get done ?
And whats this pulley kit malarkey about? I take its just a lighter pulley for the car? If so I know a few places locally that can machine and do the work for me. But personally I'm not really into pulling pulleys off and messing with a decent engine.

The change in size of the pulley basically changes the gearing of the charger.
Smaller pulley means quicker boost pickup, larger pulley means boost further up the rev range.

Gearing the charger to turn quicker (ie smaller pulley on it) actually increase torque/bhp all through the rev range.

Any info on this DMS company? Never heard of them before!
http://birds.uk.com/ I shall email them and see what comes up
Once again many thanks for your replies

I can believe that Benni, but I really am looking for 'More bang for buck' these days!
I'm just a tight fisted fucker who's looking to spend the least to get the most!

I'd be happy with what it had now seeing as I have 99bhp!
