Keep in mind, any modification of that kind will void engine warranty.

There are a number of tuners that offer modern equivalent to "chip" - it is now all-digital and downloadable. When selecting a tuner, make sure that they are knowledgeable with your engine. For example, VAP is active on this board, with many tuned cars, and I haven't heard them killing anyone's engine with their tune.

I haven't seen any tunes discussed yet for the Ingenium I-4. I have the 250HP version in my XE, and may be interested in pushing it to 300HP when available.

For the 4 potter you might find that the british forums will have more information. The european tuners also tend to have more focus on the 4 potters (yay!) and diesels (ugh) as they are popular there.

Please don't confuse "popular" with "common".

Having mine a year now and contacting VAP on an exhaust upgrade they said they have plans for one but none as yet, this goes for every aftermarket exhaust specialist i have emailed them all, as for tuning none either.
So came across this link from supersprint exhausts, I know it’s a merc, please forgive me 😢, anyway it discusses the power output with new exhaust and tune to take the 2.0 engine of its car to above 400 brake , maybe we will see someone do this for the 2.0 ftype soon, would be a nice upgrade.

The 2015 - 2018 Mercedes CLA 45 AMG 4-Matic may be the smallest Coupè in the entire Mercedes range, but it is not really the slowest.

The small 4 cyl. 2.0l 381 Hp engine certainly does not hold it back.

In spite of its outstanding performance, in stock configuration, there is ample room for improvement.

Supersprint has a full exhaust that can make this car quicker, faster yet.

Our Turbo Downpipe is the key component of the entire exhaust, since it eliminates the bottleneck of the downsized, stock catalytic.

While adding a huge amount of torque and peak hp, and saving a substantial amount of weight, the Supersprint full system also enhances the sound, at the same time.

Bolting it on is an extremely easy, straightforward process.

With the Supersprint full exhaust in place, and an engine tune to complement it, the CLA 45 AMG easily breaks the 430 Hp barrier, becoming a fierce competitor to other brands' sport coupes, equipped with larger 3.0l 6 cylinder engines.

As always, the Supersprint exhaust is available in multiple options, for the perfect customization of each individual performance step and a fine tuning of the sound.

I wouldn't tinker with the mapping of the motormanagement of the P300. The valve system is not like any other [only Alfa Romeo uses it too]. I had a MiTo with this system. Bought the car at 63.000km.
I found in the documentation it had a new valve sytem fitted with 33.000km.. And it went bust again just after I got the car, at 64.000kms.. So it seem it goes 'belly-up' every multitude of 33.000km's ...
With a system that fragile I wouldn't mess about, not while still under warranty, in particular before running the engine in. Yes, you read it correctly you need to RUN THE ENGINE IN !!!

May be best to message Stuart of VAP directly with a Private message. GO to "Marketplace" and then "Vendor Directory". Can be found in the black banner at the top of the forum thread. VAP is at the end of the list. You can click on the "send private message" there to contact Stuart, if he doesn't come along on his own here.

A google search lead me here:
https://www.cpa-chiptuning.de/en/chi...uning_4510.htm

Looks like a German company, but don't really know anything about it. I suspect, with the Ingenium engines becoming more popular, and the P300 now available in different vehicles it won't be too long before more companies jump in. Personally, I'm pretty happy with the stock P300, so my suggestion would be to see how you like it, before jumping right into a tune/chip.

The adress is German. But the faces in the foto of the website you send are Korean to me...

They did the same trick as what happened with Nokia. Bought by Koreans, so called 'Finnish management' ...
Here its Hong Kong with 'German engineers' : https://cpa-chiptuning.co.th/DynoTes...B9%88%E0%B8%99
The face behind it : https://www.f6s.com/siamultimateenergy

I'm not a fan of 'plugin' powerboxes. Remapping the original CPU is more direct.. , you don't have to take my word for it :

Youtube from CPA :
