Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 585 to 730 hp (+145 hp, +25%) and torque from 850 to 1100 Nm (+250 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Siemens/Continental CPC_NG, Bosch MED17.7.5, Bosch VGS3-NAG3. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 6 configurations · 3 ECU variants. A modern petrol engine built in 2025 — a generation with encrypted ECU protection (Tricore TPROT); top engines require Bench.
The Mercedes-Benz Group AG (Daimler AG until 2022) comprises Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart and the EQ line. AMG is the performance division of Mercedes (since 1967), building engines on the 'one man, one engine' principle in Affalterbach. Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. The factory calibration on Mercedes petrol engines is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1. Modern AMG engines are heavily encrypted, so Bench reading is mandatory. The AMG 'one engineer, one engine' principle means each engine is built by a single craftsman whose signature appears on the plaque.
Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench. The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. AMG engines are a well-known base once hardware is added (downpipe + intake + intercooler). Brabus is a premium alternative to AMG for the top models. AMG Performance Studio is Mercedes's in-house tuning studio for bespoke projects. Bench reading is a mandatory procedure for modern AMG models.
