I wouldn't change turbos without sticking a larger IC with an extra IC pump it doesn't make sense.

looks nice you need the side CF's on the fender, the rear bumper and the side skirts looks real good with the new wheels, i personally changed my wheels to HRE P40SC i think they look better and save weight at the same time here is a teaser of my wheels

you mean Heat exchanger ... because the intercooler is located between the two cylinder banks, like on the 55K engines...

So have you done it or do you plan to do it ? what pump ? johnson ? Thanks.

What about your Bullit and CL65 T65S ? do you still own them ?

I really like all your cars that's why I ask all those questions.

Yes my car is fitted with KW lowering kit, but I had it re adjusted a little higher than KW setting I don't like them too low. I am out of the country right now as as I am back and have a chance I will share some pics

Ok sorry if I miss understood the intercooler stays the same we have added a nice big heat exchanger, I do not know the name of the pump, the Bullit is still owned by me, and I have sold my CL.

Your worst nightmare...
Let me know if you need a driver to help or assist you driving all those rocket ships...GT2, CLS63, Bullit....I'd just want the GT2 and call it a day.

I replied to your email this AM by the way.

The exhaust sounds totally crazy and it makes the car stand out in the looks but no HP gain what so ever. It has been useful since its valve controlled and my car is loud with 3" pipe and no cats.

Can OEM Head bolts handle that much boost or Did you change them out?

To my knowledge they are good and plus my tuner warranty my engine or one year, that's good enough for me

Have you thought about installing a water/meth injection kit to help with the cooling?

No I am more into keeping it without those add ons, I want power with efficient everyday driving no extras plus the air intake temperature readings I have are very very good for the boost I am running, so when are you going to take the plunge and change your car to a beast

Working on it daily brother. Downpipes arrived today to be installed tomorrow along with the water/meth injection kit. New filters too. We are going to retune for the downpipes but not the meth...for now.

Can you share your boost and temp readings? Gad and Dyno-tec seem to be a hell of a team huh?

Also - Did you have to change any of the internals to handle the new power?

No internals have been touched yet, some internals will be changed after 10 days or so, but not major, I can't share the other information it's not fair to my tuner, just put it this way I have about double the surface h/e that you have including the Renntech on your car. I am not into meth and water jet, I like a challenge in having something there that helps the car breath without assistance. Those things are dangerous and you haven't even scratched the surface of your engine's potentials at least get the max out then do the meth I wish you all the best but you are wasting your turbo upgrade money, do the turbos you will smile every time you floor it!
