Diesels dont work that way, there is no vacuum so all he has written relates to Petrols, throttle boosters are pointless on Diesels and frankly any remap worth having will already take this into Account and will increase fueling for a given throttle opening provided there is enough oxygen to burn it, for example within VAG they use the same power train on a multitude of brands and models however the ones fitted to all the Audis and the sporty VAG models such as GTD have a faster throttle response built in, you can log in to the ECU and turn it on in most cases in the Mechanical pump days we used to just turn up the mixture screw and put up with the soot trail but things have moved on now and its a more scientific approach and its more to do with charge pressure and temperature and ensuring the variable turbos are always at the optimum efficiency to increase the burn without soot, the best thing you can do to any Diesel is clean out the various EGR and emissions control systemsIndeed , someone is right and someone is wrong , but there is middle ground of why it doesn't work on some cars and others it does but the majority haven't worked it out.
Big clue here...
Hmm and the possibility of a failure from your 50p worth of electronics whilst in motion, no thanks get it remapped properly and junk the other stuff, its possible to have the maximum the engine can produce and still have the security of TC, if you get wheel spin your not moving forward, my remap provides maximum motion regardless of the weather, turn off the TC and its possible to break traction at 40mph on kick down with excellent Tyres on in the wet, then again mine was remapped as a favour by a race engine developer so perhaps they are a bit more knowledgeable than your off the shelf remap installer, pedal boxes fit into that same category as those plug in resistor boxes on Ebay that do nothing more than increase fueling by fooling the ECU into thinking its cold.Someone new comes along has a view , maybe doesn't understand and I will have to repetitively explain till the end of days...
Anyone can say anything about anything , disregard , disprove , because they can... this is rife amongst the Mercedes forums probably because they are less likely to tune and or deludedly believe that the Mercedes engineers have created ' the best or nothing' perfection that should not be required to be improved upon .
I have a diesel and the product improved the first quarter of throttle pedal travel response no end .
The why and how exactly doesn't matter it's the real world difference that matters whether it be a signal to the throttle plate or injectors .
When tuned I didn't feel a difference and I gained alot of torque but this is when the car is in dyno mode which let's you have it all !
With all the traction control back on it's a dog on a leash and like the chaps experience of his 350 CDI CLS Big Fish MSL remap his throttle response was no different and is currently seeking someone to do throttle pedal developer coding called Pedalkennlinie there's also torque limiters to play with etc but it's rare as I guess one wrong move and a big headache could happen like a bricked ecu .
Some stuff to play with in the gearbox tcu too .
Me personally I opted for the 3rd party 7 minute plug and play and most of that is waiting for the Canbus to go to sleep .
It's so easy to fit and just two plastic 13mm nuts to remove .
Plus rather than just one setting of selecting in Pedalkennlinie you have 36 , also the ability to reduce the power output of the vehicle 25 / 50 or 75% ( Valet mode ) and an extra layer of security called Pedal lock , when in this mode all you get is engine idle , press the accelerator still idle , the pedal is dead .
Maybe there’s a reason they don’t?I'm very happy thank you and there's millions that are too with pedal boxes , it's been at least a few years and unlike a remap it can be removed and sold just like my auxiliary battery .
So there we have it not even my author who was tuning Cosworths back in the 80's, John at Big Fish and Acid at MSL go into Pedalkennlinie , I wonder if Antony does at GAD ?
