Congratz! Love seeing people doing the impossible (I can only imagine how many told you this was an impossible mod blahblah) These must be the NEW line from Garrett Who's tuning her?

Just a small history on my car and the dyno runs, my car is a CLS63 with PP, my first dyno was 529whp on the dynojet, after i installed the Brabus piggy back i dynoed at 579.5whp ONCE only the piggy back was not good where i had different readings from 540-579, they then installed another one after fixing it, my car read 550-554 constent. All on the same Dynojet, this is my results with the new upgrade, bare in mind this is the first base tune my car is getting another tune as i am typing this and will get more once my custom exhaust is ready in two weeks, and someother goodies.

Unreal! 640 WHP equals roughly 780 HP at the crank (assuming 18% drive train loss). You're going to need some serious rubber to put that power down.

Congratulations and well done pushing the envelope on the 5.5 TT platform.

My thanks goes to the guys who made this happen Sebastian my German tuner who is a member but never talks to anyone.
DiGi-Tec Dubai performance they are the best in Dubai and i can back them up with my car.
MTB, Danny is one of the best software tuners out there.
Thanks everyone for the replies, anyone that will run on bigger turbos will be amazed on how quick this thing can be, its just amazing. I am running stock tires and the car still pulls hard from a dead stop, i have a video but its with my friend i will post it as soon as i get it of him.

Here is a video of running the car from 160km-280km


here is another video on youtube of a CLS63 with PP running from 0-290km you can compare by timing both speedometers. Keep in mind i was running at a temperature of 20C where as for the other car he was running at 13C


more videos will be posted i have to get a chance to re-race my GT2 and post a video of a before and after, hopefully i will make that on Thursday or Friday.

You're welcome dbason55.

This thread is about your build, so I will let Renntech post their results in another thread.

Congrats again.

Look forward to video of your CLS's runs against the GT2.

Should be interesting.
