On the engine. This van carries the 3.0L V6 OM642 the high-output option, not the 2.0L four-cylinder. Mercedes has since dropped the V6 from the Sprinter line entirely; current Sprinters are four-cylinder only. The PedalBox and DTE tuner sharpen throttle response and add power on top of the factory output.
