A45 AMG — Stage 3 ECU Tune
- Peak power output increased to 267kW
- Enhanced turbo spool characteristics
- Improved fuel delivery with upgraded pump
- Optimized cold air intake flow
- Sustained performance with 253kW after thermal stabilization
This 2015 A45 AMG moved to full Stage 3 specification with a ProCharge Stage 2 turbo, downpipe, FX-170 high-pressure fuel pump, and cold air intake. The calibration addressed fuelling right through the range to support the larger turbo and maintain drivability under the additional load.
The result was 267 kW at the wheels with 615 Nm of torque, supplied by the workshop on their dyno. The work focused on ensuring the AWD drivetrain managed the increased output cleanly, particularly under sustained load where heat and fuel pressure become critical. Built for closed-circuit competition use.
We revised ignition timing, fuel mapping, and torque limiters to suit the new hardware. The FX-170 pump was essential here—factory fuelling couldn't support the flow demand past mid-range.
Is the factory high-pressure fuel pump adequate for this turbo upgrade?
No. The build required an FX-170 high-pressure fuel pump to meet flow demand. The factory pump won't support the fuelling strategy needed for a ProCharge Stage 2 turbo.
What power did this A45 make at the wheels after the tune?
267 kW at the wheels with 615 Nm of torque, recorded by the workshop on their dyno.
Is this calibration suitable for street use?
This is a Stage 3 build intended for off-road and closed-circuit competition use only.
This calibration was developed for a workshop like yours
The Mercedes A45 AMG above was calibrated by Protunes for a partner workshop — they did the vehicle work and kept their customer; we did the calibration engineering. Add professional ECU and TCU calibration to your workshop without employing a calibration engineer.
