The Stage 3 turbo upgrade combined with a GCC-calibrated ECU tune addresses all of these — the ceramic-coated housings are particularly important on the GLC63 where underhood temperatures run hotter than the sedan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2x Upgraded turbochargers\u003c\/strong\u003e — complete drop-in units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBillet compressor wheels\u003c\/strong\u003e — CNC-machined from forged 2618 aluminium, higher mass airflow than factory cast wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpgraded turbine wheels\u003c\/strong\u003e — Inconel alloy, optimised for high exhaust gas flow at elevated boost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCeramic-coated housings\u003c\/strong\u003e — thermal barrier coating reduces radiant heat.
