W204 C63 AMG Stage 1: 297 kW at the wheels on 98 RON

The M156 is a naturally responsive platform once you open up the exhaust and give the factory ECU room to work. This Stage 1 file pairs with performance headers and refined fuel delivery to lift power from 256 kW to 297 kW at the wheels, with torque climbing from 306 Nm to 437 Nm.

Boost control optimisation and wastegate solenoid tuning sharpen transient response, while high-pressure fuel pump and injector calibration ensure the engine stays fed under load. The tune runs cleanly on 98 RON and suits daily driving with the margin to enjoy it when the road opens up.

No hardware changes required beyond the headers and fuel system work already in place. Factory ECU, straightforward delivery, solid result.

Common questions
Is this tune safe for daily use on 98 RON pump fuel?

Yes. The calibration is written for 98 RON and maintains safe margins for daily driving and spirited use on the street.

What's needed to run this file on a stock W204 C63?

Performance headers, boost control optimisation, wastegate solenoid tuning, high-pressure fuel pump calibration, and injector tuning are required. It's a Stage 1 file but relies on those supporting modifications.

Will this work with the factory ECU?

Correct. This is a factory ECU calibration, no standalone required.
