Check out the thread that I started: https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c...ttle-body.html

I think our cars came with two different throttle bodies, one was the same size as the e55 one and the other one was smaller. Fluid motor union was able to us an s600 throttle body (80mm) but I think they may have used an adapter plate and they had the rear super charger snout ported to open it up a bit. They also mounted the throttle body at a different angle to make it fit.

I plan on starting my throttle body project, but I have a few things I need to take care of before I start. I plan on using an audi throttle body (82mm) and a e55 rear super charger snout, have it port matched to the audi tb. One thing I have yet to find out is if the rear supercharger snout on the e55 is the same size as the one on our cars.

C32 and E55 has the same TB, same part nb, 74mm, also the sc inlets has the same size 74mm but the e55 one has a opening below for the bypass tb which we don't have.
