And if nothing else, at least I am back to OEM boost level... nothing wrong with that...
Id say for $43, the dawes device is a good deal. If you keep the setting conservative, like 11 or 12 psi, which is the factory wastegate setting, youre not going to hurt anything, and I suppose you could allow more complete combustion and get a tiny bit more power at full throttle.
Ill rport when I install some boost controller setup.

Sorry, new here, but not to mercedes in general, what is a Dawes device?
