Possible Supercharger Issue

Since recently I have become a proud owner of a 2006 CLS 55 AMG IWC Edition. And the car is in flawless condition.
Nevertheless I did what any owner would do and did an Engine Oil change, Transmission Oil Change with the electrical connector. But recently after owning it for about 2 months I started to realize that when I floor it, and it gets to higher rps 5000-7000 I find myself creating a massive black cloud behind myself. Doing some research I found out that it is nothing to worry about and that the engine is running rich, burning excessive fuel. Seeing that day after day I now noticed that I don't hear much of a S/C whine. Which I never really noticed as even without a S/C it puts a smile on my face when I floor it.

I'm trying to put everything together now and figure this out, as it's creating the black clouds because it is probably not getting any boost from the S/C right now. The Belt is not slipping and pulley is turning. It does have a smaller pulley and a VRP heat exchanger from the previous owner. Can someone tell me what might be the issue?

I would love to see that ESP light flash again.

Welcome to the forum. Since the CLS 55AMG is based on and virtually identiacal to the W211 E55 AMG, and there are many more of those that the CLS, you will get a lot more eyeballs on your questions in that forum. Check it out here and good luck: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg-81/ Never mind, I see you are already there.

Yeah I've posted this on the E55 Forum aswell as that's where the M113k is most known for. But hopefully someone here can help me aswell as I've gotten no luck so far.
