A bit more pace from a W208
Discussion
Hi, I remember reading somewhere about some kind of plug-in techno gubbins available to improve the throttle reaction times on a W208 but can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Anyone?
BTW, it's getting from a standing start to 60mph in 6.5sec exactly at the moment, is that about right for a 430 V8 cabrio?
Thanks

It is a sprint booster... but not sure if a 208 430 has a DBW throttle.. cant remember if mine did..
now if you want to make it faster....
you could source some C43 AMG cams... which wont be cheap.
or (as I did to mine) change the airfilters, remap and delimit, and eisenmann exhaust... which will make it "adequate" however dont go for the "race" exhaust option (and remove the central resonator) unless you want to feel like you are at Daytona.. wish i had a vid of my old one as it gave the Tusc with carbon cans a run for aural presence.

I have seen that UK Chips are quoting a remapped power of 326BHP, which is rather higher than the 300BHP that others quote. Which airfilters did you go for?now if you want to make it faster....
