It works. Get it, amazing set it and forget option, and completely reversible its a no brainer My GLC43 AMG went from 4.7 sec to 4.3 sec and it no longer dies out after 100mph
Bro I bought one total came out to 800 same fucken site all these scammers posting these videos for them I connected everything racechip didn’t turn on I contacted them thru email took 2 months to respond they try to guide me through the process thru email but it’s the same instructions that were online that I already followed and now they won’t respond when I ask for a refund this shit is a scam they’re all working together
@shouldigetit no I don't. I'm a gear head combustion guy through and through. However, when racing the 0 to 60 makes or brakes you when talking heads up. A track car or rolling starts 0-60 doesn't mean as much but when you line up with someone it's usually from a stand still when comparing rides
30% does seem pretty high, since it's a twin turbo I'd estimate a safe 70hp boost. JB4 from burger tuning claims 75hp gain. Vivid Racing tuning box shows a dyne sheet with 60hp gain at the wheels. I think more than the horsepower you'll feel the torque difference which any of the tunes would do for you. Hope that helps! -Ben
@@shouldigetit I bought it anyways haha. Just gonna do the Map1 w/ 91 octane since that’s all I can find around here and can’t find a good octane booster that doesn’t mess up the cats or cause other problems.
Did you find it worth it? Had one before and feel like it worked but swapped for an actual tune. New car doesn't have tunes available so thinking of going back but only have very limited experience
@@A_Guy123 yeah its worth it 100%. I’m using 92 octane and up to map2 in sport mode. I sent JB4 my diagnostics and they said map2 looks fine to use on 92. Eco is map0, normal is map1, sport mode map2. It is faster and more powerful than before. Totally worth it.
So the max performance gains will be in sport+ mode and race mode 7 on the GTS black race chip correct? What is the difference between sport mode map 6 and race mode map 7 when the Mercedes’ is in sport + mode
I've seen dynos on GTS and in most of them the 6th setting is the best in terms of power, 7th setting is pretty low, why do they say that 7 is the map with the most power?I wonder what my car's best setting is
Not this particular unit but they do have a Racechip for the SLK!

Informative video! I have a 2006 VW GTI (Mk5 generation) 6-speed and installed the racechip myself; it was fairly easy since the boost pressure gauge was near the front of the engine bay and was accessible under the hood. I do feel that my car is faster. What I am curious about is when you say it takes 200miles for it to fully calibrate, what happens when you unplug the Racechip from the harness for things like trips to the mechanic or doing smog checks? I unplug mine each time I go to the mechanic and plug it back it after. I don't notice a decrease in power, but I'm not certain.
Thanks! I think once a calibrates the first time those calibrated data logs are saved on the race chip so when you plug it back in it doesn’t have to re-calibrate every time.
Hi friend , i have a w212 and i have make stage 1 tuning remap from 204 hp to 240 hp , is any problem if i install this Chip and will this incrase my horse power? thanks
This Benz is not an example, 2 hours installation is probably the longest record ever on installing a tuning box on. I used the TDI tuning box from the uk and I had 3 connections and took me not more then 15 min installation, and is there a difference.. yes the gain is pretty noticeable , The car pulls much harder.
Not all installations are the same. I was able to install mine in 15-20 minutes when I had a C43 AMG, but it was much more complicated for my C63s AMG. I ended up taking it to a professional shop for installation and it took them just under 2 hours to install.
Hi, when my BMW M235i installed the GTS black, the engine light is on. My body shop said they are tying to turn off the engine light but I can’t, is this a big issue or not ? After installed, should I need to warm up the chip? Should I start using level 1, then 2 until 6 to 7 ?
Hey Louis contact Racechip about that. I'm not sure what the issue could be. The chip does take a while to calibrate, not sure the exact amount of miles but yes start on level 1 I'd say for the 1st hundred miles and then go up from there. Again that's just my guess. You can email Racechip for better answers. -Ben
hi mate, i got mine on my AMG GT 4 door, do i need to turn on the app on my phone to connect the racechip for the warn up timer very time? plz help, thank u
Does the LED on the unit go away during operation? I just successfully installed mine on a GLE350 with no engine check light. However, I noticed that during operation, the LED will disappear until the (-) or (+) is depressed. Is that supposed to happen? Thanks.
@@shouldigetit I opened the hood while the vehicle is parked and took a look while the engine was idling. That is when I realized that the LED light was gone. But it appears when I unlock the car to start the ignition. I was just wondering if that is normal, since the explanation is not given in the manual. Thanks a million.
What is this mickey mouse chip, gonget a real tune and call it a day, these stuff dont make ur car faster the only thing it does is trick ur ecu thinking u have hit the pedals all the way when ur actualy half way. This isnt a tune its something similar to sprint booster

Got mine ínstalled today on a Toyota Hilux. INSANE results. Loved it, Recomend it to any one. It’s a breeze to install.
Really!? That's cool Franco! What sort of engine does the Hilux have and which country are you in?
Had considered getting one of these for my '16 Audi A5. Finally have an objective data review plus a seat-of-the-pants perspective. Good Job.
That was the goal, real data! Glad you enjoyed that aspect and found the video :)
Appreciate your viewership!

@shouldigetit I do wish a channel would buy the most popular at home tunes and show dyno results. IE, race chips, unitronic.
You got me from a comment on Samson q2u mic review video
Hey that’s awesome! Thank you!
Has anyone actually checked the air fuel ratios while using this or knock sensors
I own a Volkswagen Jetta Audubon. would I be smiling if I purchased this or just feel? Let down?
Sounds all a bit dodgy to me, so in a nutshell it’s not any faster?
They’re saying 30% more HP on my 23 Tundra with 389hp. That’s 115 more hp. Sounds to good to be true
30% does seem pretty high, since it's a twin turbo I'd estimate a safe 70hp boost. JB4 from burger tuning claims 75hp gain. Vivid Racing tuning box shows a dyne sheet with 60hp gain at the wheels.

Does this void your warranty if they see it?
Lmao hell yes, take it off
It sure does. I took mine off each time I took the car in for service.
If you have to ask then you know the answer
I've seen dynos on GTS and in most of them the 6th setting is the best in terms of power, 7th setting is pretty low, why do they say that 7 is the map with the most power?I wonder what my car's best setting is
Is it worth to buy it if i have already tuned my ECU
Does race chip good for gasoline cars? Has anyone try it does it works, and does he create some engine problems & other parts failure? Thx on help!
This is a gasoline car.
Quicker not faster. Times are stated as quicker, a speed such as (mph) is how fast.
I loved the dodge that ate him up at the end.
Will this fit on a previous gen SLK? Though same chassis, but different engine, etc. I'm thinking it still has major similarities between the two.
