Hello all, and thank you in advance for your thoughts. To my understanding, turbo lifetime is improved by a post-use cool down period. This is substantiated by auto-start and security systems with a turbo cool-down timer feature. Have the AMG engineers devised some cooling system for the GLA 45...

I'd love to see a mild mod (like downpipe only) GLA45 swap out ECUs maps (MSL, Weistec, Brabus (soon)) and collect stats including something like a zero to 25 mph time. It would be cool to crown a king of remaps, or at least know which map best targets the features each person is looking for.

Thank you doughboy. I had hoped this fast winding twin scroll with boost over 20 would kick the fuel hard (and fast) enough that the fuel delivery lag would be nearly imperceptible. But perhaps you're right and I'm just being unrealistic. I’ll race you in that fine 5.5TT (as long as the track is...

Thank you BFT and Shaunee. Funny, I was just typing up how the dyno shows killer power, but doesn’t really help to address the lag (from a stop or low speed when you poke the accelerator). And Shaunee, you hit my point exactly... If this is an ECU ‘feature’ (like you’d think it is), I’m...

Low speed lag Hello Acid. In your experience tuning this GLA45, what do you think is causing the lag at low RPMs? It's hard for me to imagine a dual scroll with such ridiculous boost gives much lag. I'm wondering if it's either poor transmission design, or a safety 'feature' that waits a moment...
