Sprinter 209-309 88BHP Stage 1 Tuning
When tuning your Mercedes Sprinter, you’re not only looking for a nice power gain with smooth and progressive torque delivery but you’re also looking for maximum reliability. That’s where we come in. Whether it’s your work van, a camper, or a minibus our Stage 1 performance software is designed to stay well within the limits of stock components whilst delivering the best possible performance without any compromise on reliability of the engine.
For auto models we also ensure the torque output is within the safe limit for the auto box, and our software will ensure smooth gear changes as we edit the internal torque model in the same manner as the manufacturer would calibrate the software.
The stage 1 remap gives 135 BHP and a torque increase to 320Nm. Although this seems like a big jump in power, it’s an easy gain as the 88 BHP engine is down-tuned from the factory.
You can program the ECU yourself using our online remapping service. For this we recommend to use the Kess V2 tool. With this tool you can you program directly over the OBD port.
If you prefer to send the ECU to us for the programming work, you can use our postal remap service.
