The engineers from mcchip-dkr have recently launched an upgrade kit based on the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG.
The main focus of this aftermarket package was on the 4-cylinder 2.0-liter turbocharged engine which in its standard configuration is able to deliver 360 HP (265 kW) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque. mcchip-dkr’s stage 1 kit has managed to increase the output via software optimization to 400 HP (294 kW) and 535 Nm (394 lb-ft). if you go for the stage 2 kit which also includes sports catalysts and the output will be further increased to 420 HP (309 kW) while torque would remain the same at 535 Nm (394 lb-ft).
If that does not sound interesting, there is the stage 3 kit as well that will lift the output to an impressive 450 HP (331 kW) and 550 Nm (405 lb-ft). This additional power is available thanks to some turbocharger upgrades, aside from the already mentioned software tweaks and sports catalysts.
Other changes made by the tuner include KW coilovers and 19-inch mbDesign KV1 wheels well covered around in 235/35 ZR19 Dunlop Sport Maxx Race tires.
