wow i literally just went to get an original air filter, ended up on your installation video. and now i am for sure going to follow your steps with tornado tuning and everything else you got on that mercades. really like your videos
Great video, man! I just installed the turbo inlet tube and the MST performance intake as well. I have to say, you make taking the stock airbox inlet off the stock turbo inlet easy, lol. I ended up snapping the stock turbo inlet trying to remove the airbox. Next up, will be the charge pipe, and then catless downpipe with a custom dyno tune from Dyno-comp here in AZ😎🤙
Brandon what have you done to your car so far?? How much HP have you got yours up to now? I am also here in AZ and work down the street from Dyno
How much HP do you have ? Can you answer us please ?
love your videos just wondering what you would recommend buying for more performance for a w205 c300
Remaps/exhaust/suspension/intake/tyres
Very nice i did the k&n air filter drop in so far lol
I got something to show you in my next video.
@@TheFlexxGarage onmw to like it and watch it
🔥🔥🔥
hey man I know it's a lot to ask for but could you please do the upgraded Turbo I know it's not cheap but a lot of us want to do it and these upgrade videos really help me figure it out thank you keep up the great work
No way. Can’t do it. The most you can do is a hybrid turbo. I’m not racing the car so there’s no point in me doing that upgrade. You run the risk of blowing the cylinder rings and the car not being reliable. My car is a daily driver with some mods to make it more responsive and enjoy spirited driving. That’s all.
Did you have to tune your car after all these upgrades and I was also wondering is there anyway to make the stock turbo flutter Is there a way that I can pump out a lot of horsepower?
Great video! I’ve installed the cold air intake as well as the charge pipe. The intake tube was my final install and I received a P0299 code; turbo underboost. Any idea why? Also notice a high pitch sound kinda like the sound at the dentist. Basically I think I did this install wrong.
Did you install the gasket/o-ring on the charge pipe? I forgot to show that in the video but mentioned it in the pinned comment.
@@TheFlexxGarage Yeah I made sure to switch the o-ring. I was was with just the charge pipe and intake for about a week before installing the intake tube. It was driving good up until that point.
Hey Flexx thanks a lot for all your videos, I followed step by step and everything fitted as it supposed to! However I got engine light after I drove the car for couple minutes, any suggestions which can be wrong?
Did you get the code pulled? Curious what code it is.
@@TheFlexxGarage yes it's "P04F000 Wide open throttle generation of activated charcoal canister has a malfunction" but the mechanic shop checked everything and he said it can be related to the diameter of the Intake turbo pipe... I'll try to reverse to the OEM and try if the issue happen again.
I got that same code. My shop erased it and car's been fine ever since I installed it. I think my code was because I connected the battery before I plugged everything back up. So the system recognized an error. Also, some people got that code because they didn't install the flexible piping back onto the new intake tube tight enough.
@@TheFlexxGarage thanks a lot!!! 🙏🏻
Hey flexx, I have a 2015 c250 coupe. I was wondering will it be compatible with w204 parts or just w205? Thank you
depends..If you have a US spec 2015 C250..then it's probably a W204/C204 platform. Because the US stop carrying the C250 after the W204 platform.
If your car is another country spec...then I don't know.
All C-class that looks like my car in the video is W205 platform.
All C-class that looks like my previous benz in my old videos is W204/C204 platform.
Can I do this on a. A35
Nice video
It would be nice if you do a before and after.
Does it really increase the efficiency / performance?
Greetings from Germany
He said its more responsive forsure if you want power go for a AMR stage 1 tune
No point. It’s not a big difference that I can show on video except talk about it. These mods don’t make drastic changes. But they are good for better durability and they are a must if you plan to do more mods cause these will help support larger mods produce more power.
Hey, I installed this, started getting error codes. P04F0. Says it auxiliary emissions control. I installed the air intake tube, with the turbo pipe, the filter and the blow off valve you also installed (all from tornado tuning). Codes popped up a week later.. any idea what it might be? (Also great videos and mods 👍)
It has no effect on the car. It’s a dumb fault. It’s mainly from the air intake tube. Maybe about 5% of people experienced it. I had mine deleted by a shop and cars been fine ever since. Send tornado tuning a message. I think he has a fix for the people experiencing this.
@@TheFlexxGarage Apprently a generic code.. Tried erasing the code, pops back up after alittle while. Used a obd2 code reader, might need a shop obd or (more advanced obd scanner) will check with tornado and see if he has any Input, thanks for the quick response!
Most code readers can’t delete it. Tornado tuning has a solution unless you wanna take it to a shop to delete.
I got the p04f0 evap system high load purge line a performance check engine light. It comes on every 3rd key cycle. I keep deleting it. Comes back. I’ve done every upgrade you have. I did this air intake tube last. I’ve checked everything a million times. Contacted Narry at tornado tuning. He sent me the bulletin. I sent it to Mercedes. My car is currently at Mercedes. They are telling me a purge sensor. But can’t get an accurate diagnosis because of all the aftermarket parts. I call BS. I’m at a loss. I didn’t know if you have any thoughts? I really don’t want to put the stock plastic one back in. Any help is appreciated.
Not sure. Tons of people have done the same installs with no issues. I had the same code as you come up after a few days of driving. Car drove fine. I couldnt delete it with my readers or by disconnecting the battery. I had the fault code deleted by a German specialist shop and it never came back.
Shop also told me to keep an eye to make sure it doesn’t come back...because if it did, then it’s actually a part in the car that’s just prone to failing because they use to replace one every few days on incoming w205 c-class cars. A part not related to the aftermarket parts. Probably thats the bulletin Narry sent you.
Also, as stated in my pinned comment in the turbo charge pipe video...make sure the gasket is installed on the new turbo charge pipe. I didn’t show that part in the video.
Which gasket are you talking about? Maybe that’s what I messed up and why the light keeps coming back on? Because I can’t see anything wrong and and Mercedes is clueless. And yes mine drives just fine. Just the light keeps coming on every 3rd key cycle after I delete it.
Go look at the end of your stock turbo charge pipe. There should be a rubber o-ring on the end that needs to be transfer to the silver metal end of the new charge pipe.
Thank you man. I’m going to try that because I’m stumped and so is Mercedes. That’s gotta be it. I appreciate your feedback and help!
No problem. Don’t get me wrong, Mercedes dealers are good but if you have a modified car, definitely look into a reputable third party German car specialist shops. They are way better at diagnosing stuff especially with aftermarket parts installed. Plus they charge better rates then dealerships.
hey flex why does it say eu version only on their website?
Don’t know. If you are gonna buy it, better off just messaging tornado tuning and asking for the right one for you car instead of buying direct from the site.
Flexx Alexander awesome thanks man
How is a hose from plastic to aluminum making enhancements in the car to make it more responsive ?
I already explained it. The aluminum of the pipe makes it a more durable part and the heat resistant coating keeps the air flowing through it cooler. Cooler air equals more power. Tons of stuff out there to educate you on cold air for an engine.
@@TheFlexxGarage colder air coming into the engine especially on a turbo car is a given that its better for performance. My question for you was if you knew how the FTP charge pipe improves colder air? Without having any dragy #s or actual IAT #s of comparing stock vs the charge pipe. Just saying it's aluminum so its better. Is nothing more than a marketing statement. Some actually would like to know real world data.
Seriously. You need to do more research. It’s not marketing. If you watch my engine upgrade videos, I clearly say that the pipe alone is not gonna give you drastic power increase. If someone claims a pipe gives you noticeable power, they are lying.
The purpose of upgrading a pipe is for durability and performance increase. It will feel slightly more responsive but that doesn’t mean that equates to measurable horsepower. Not every “stand-alone” mod is gonna give you numbers on a dyno. You combine all the upgrades together and that’s where you see the benefit.
If you tune a car without upgrade pipes and intercoolers and intakes, won’t be long until you have a bunch of failed parts and plus, you are not maximizing the performance of your tune.
If you upgrade every component, then get a tune…the tune will flourish cause it’s working with all upgraded parts.
People need to stop thinking an intake alone or a charge pipe alone or an intercooler alone gives HP increased on a dyno. That’s really ignorant and you’ve been eating up marketing. They are all designed to work together to see noticeable gains.
I’m not gonna dyno my car to see the different between this pipe and that, cause that’s a waste of money and it’s not even the full picture.
If you are still looking for HP numbers to compare a pipe to another pipe, you need to go do some more learning. Not every “single stand-alone” mod is about horsepower. Responsiveness and horsepower are 2 different things. A car can be more responsive when do go to punch it but the punch might not hold through all the rpms. It can still be the same horsepower car as a car without the responsiveness.
I will take a more responsive car over a higher horsepower car anyway. Why? Cause I daily drive. When am I ever gonna floor the car so much that I see peak horsepower? It’s useless to me unless I go to the track (which I don’t). I mod this Benz to be reliable and responsive. If it makes more power, good…but i don’t care about HP numbers…I care about how the car physically drives.
Anyone here have the M264 engine and got a check engine light for changing the air filter? Taking to tornado tuning and they said if i put it on i will have a check engine light on
I don’t know if that’s what he said cause an air filter change does not cause a check engine light almost in any car unless the car is super sensitive to any mods. But install that elbow tube (in my video) might. Depending on you cars condition and if it’s US or euro spec and your ecu software version.
@@TheFlexxGarage I wish I could show you the messages cause its hard trying to understand what he is saying but Yeah I dont know i have the 2019 c300 he refunded it because it would turn it on
