Performance Calibration: Mercedes-AMG 45 Series (Pre-Facelift)

Engine: M133 2.0L 4-Cylinder Turbo | ECU: Bosch MED17.7.2 | Years: 2013–2016

The original M133 engine is a high-pressure masterpiece, utilizing a massive twin-scroll turbocharger to produce over 26 psi of boost from the factory. Our calibrations refine the early software limitations of the MED17.7.2 ECU, smoothing out the power delivery and unlocking significant top-end horsepower that was restricted by the factory to meet global emissions and fleet targets.

🛠️ Why Calibrate Your Pre-Facelift M133?

Linear Power Delivery: The early M133 is known for its "old school" turbo lag. Our calibration optimizes wastegate duty cycles to bring boost in earlier and more smoothly.
MCT/DCT Coordination: We optimize the torque-request maps to ensure the 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT handles the increased output with faster, crisper shifts and higher clutch clamping pressure.
Thermal Management: Given the high boost levels of the 2.0L platform, our software maintains rigorous Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) monitoring to protect your turbo and internals.
Drivability: We remove the sluggish throttle response found in "Comfort" mode, making the car feel alert and responsive in all driving conditions.

📱 Powergate 4 Ready

The Bosch MED17.7.2 used in the 2013–2016 AMG 45 is fully compatible with the Powergate 4.

Virtual Read: The tool identifies your car and instantly pulls the matching original file from the cloud.
Safety: Flash your car in your own driveway with full confidence.
Reversibility: Keep your 100% stock file on the device for an easy return to factory settings.

🔧 Maintenance & Support

Spark Plugs: For Stage 1 and 2, we strongly recommend NGK 97506 (Step 1 Colder) plugs, gapped to 0.022" (0.55mm) to prevent spark blow-out under high boost.
Fuel: Strictly 93 Octane (98 RON) is required for advertised gains.
Transmission: For high-torque Stage 2 builds, a TCU (Transmission Control Unit) tune is recommended to further increase clutch life and shift speed.
