It will be like it should have been from the factory.Down side increased tyre consumption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that will be offset by the extra time spent with the boot in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a genuine mercedes part.Kinlay from reading these forums I would suggest if you get the tune done properly you will have an enormous grin pasted on your face when you first drive it. Then you will get a little board and want more.Next comes,CAI, Valve springs, v3 kit, fuel pump, injectors, surge tank and fuel pump, plenum, flux capacitor, second mortgage(for new trans and diff every 6 months), loss of licence, divorce.
