Mercedes-Benz CLK 200 K Stage 1 Remap
On Mercedes-Benz CLK 200 K turbo petrol engines a Stage 1 remap recalibrates the boost pressure, ignition timing, fuelling and torque limiter maps. No hardware is changed and the original software is backed up. The same engine is sold with different stock outputs across generations, so the gain depends on your version.
It depends on the generation and the stock output. 200 K engines with 163–184 bhp reach 175–195 bhp with a Stage 1 remap; the largest gain is +12 bhp (W209 200 K 163hp). Pick your version in the table below.

GP Power ECU applies the software at its workshop in Hukou, Hsinchu, using EcuPrime-developed files; workshops can also order the file directly.
About the Mercedes-Benz Kompressor 1.8 (M271: C180 K, C200 K, E200 K, CLK200 K)
The supercharged 1.8-litre M271 was used from 2002 to 2011 in the C-Class, E-Class, CLK and SLK from 143 to 192 hp. Thanks to its mechanical supercharger it has no turbo lag and a linear character.
How a Stage 1 remap works on the Mercedes-Benz CLK 200 K
Stage 1 re-tunes ignition advance, fuelling and the supercharger bypass control. The gain is felt mainly in the mid and upper range; on lower outputs such as the C180 K, which shares hardware with the C200 K, the difference is clear.
Pre-remap checklist
- Timing chain and camshaft adjusters (known chain stretch issue).
- Supercharger pulley, belt and bypass flap.
- Ignition coils and spark plugs.
- Oil consumption and the PCV system.
