MERCEDES-AMG CLA45S M139
Mercedes-AMG CLA45 S Tuning & Performance Upgrades
M139 2.0L Turbo | AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT / ZF-based 8-Speed | Australia
The Mercedes‑AMG CLA45 S is one of the most advanced four-cylinder performance cars ever produced. Powered by the hand-built M139 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, the CLA45 S delivers class-leading performance, lightning-fast shifts, and enormous tuning potential.
Despite its impressive factory output, the CLA45 S is heavily torque-managed and emissions-restricted, particularly in the mid-range and lower gears. At Diesel & Performance Tuning Brisbane, we recalibrate both the ECU and transmission to unlock safe, repeatable performance suited to Australian fuel, climate, and driving conditions.

Package Upgrades
Information about the upgrades included and available options for your vehicle.
ECU Remap
Our CLA45S AMG AMG ECU calibration is a fully custom engine remap developed specifically for the M139 Turbo GDI platform. Following ECU unlocking which permits programming both via OBD and Bench, unlike generic flash files, our ECU tune recalibrates boost pressure control, torque modelling, ignition timing, fuel delivery of both high and low pressure systems, and throttle mapping to safely unlock performance the factory calibration leaves on the table. The result is stronger mid-range torque, sharper throttle response, and smoother power delivery across the rev range, while retaining OEM-level drivability and reliability. This CLA45S AMG ECU remap is ideal for both stock vehicles and those fitted with performance upgrades such as intakes, downpipes, or exhaust systems.

TCU Remap
Our CLA45S AMG TCU calibration is a critical upgrade that complements the ECU remap by optimising the 8 speed transmission logic to handle increased torque safely and efficiently. This transmission tune improves shift speed, optimises torque reduction during gear changes, increases clamping pressure on the clutch packs, and refines shift behaviour in all drive modes from Comfort through to Sport and Race modes. The result is faster, firmer, and more consistent gear changes, improved launch performance, and a far more connected driving experience. Without a TCU remap, the factory transmission strategy can limit the full potential of an ECU-tuned CLA45S AMG.

Exhaust Upgrade
An exhuast upgrade, whether cat-back, downpipe, or even a coplete exhaust upgrade for the CLA45S AMG enhances both performance and sound by improving exhaust flow downstream of the turbocharger. Designed to reduce restriction while maintaining proper exhaust velocity, a quality exhaust system delivers a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note without excessive drone. While power gains are modest on their own, an exhaust complements ECU tuning and downpipe upgrades perfectly, completing the system for improved sound, efficiency, and overall driving experience.

Turbocharger Upgrade
Orignal BorgWarner turbochargers with TTE560 5655 55mm turbine paired with the billet aluminum 56mm 6x6 compressor is a special turbine designed by TTE. Advantages are greater gas flow, reducing backpressure, and lowering exhaust gas temperatures, allowing safer, yet higher boost levels. This turbine material, and wheel itself is extremely light in mass, thus provides a reduced effort required for inertia, meaning faster spool up for the size. Capable of 410kW on 98 Octane Pump Fuel! Includes: All consumables for installation Original (Brand New) Modified BorgWarner turbochargers 7+7 TTE Billet Compressors 56mm Inlet 9 Blade TTE Turbines 54mm Outlet Plug and Play installation 600+kW on 98ron Single parts finely balanced then components assembled and core high-speed VSR balanced Supplied with a balance test result document 12 Month Component Warranty Made in Germany

HPFP Upgrade
Required for Stage 3+ package to support increased boost level. The OEM HPFP is not capable of supporting sufficient fuel delivery for up to 40psi. High pressure fuel pump upgrade is a must-have, non-negotiable compoenent to ensure engien safety for high power tuning packages.

FTA Adaptor
The FTA (free to air) adapter converts the factory diverter valve into a blow off valve by redirecting the compressed air from the turbo to be vented to the atmosphere instead of the air being redirected into the air intake. The actuation of the diverter valve depends on manufacturer specification.

About the Mercedes-AMG CLA45 S (M139)
Key platform highlights:
-
2.0L M139 hand-built turbocharged engine
-
Factory output up to ~310kW / 500Nm (model-year dependent)
-
All-wheel drive with AMG Performance 4MATIC+
-
AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT / ZF-based 8-speed transmission
-
One of the highest specific-output engines ever produced
From the factory, calibration prioritises global emissions compliance, drivetrain protection, and noise regulations, leaving substantial performance potential untapped.
Mercedes-AMG CLA45 S ECU Remapping & Dyno Tuning

-
Optimised boost, ignition and load control
-
Reduced factory torque limiting
-
