C63 Weistec Supercharged
Stage 3 courtesy car......the MSL way









Left my car with MSL Performance ( UK Weistec dealer) to have some cooling mods done and prepare it for a VMax 200 event which is held in the UK ( 2 mile airfield strip for top speed runs)

The owner of MSL suggested I take the "monster" as my courtesy car for the 174 mile drive home.......what a epic car!!!!! The transmission is so quick with the Weistec valve body upgrade and the way it pulls is breathtaking.....makes my stage 2 feel puny ha ha.

I have certainly been impressed with the customer service at MSL and have never been handed the keys to such a beast as a courtesy car by any tuner before.

Hats off to the MSL team.

Does anybody know what a "valve body upgrade" actually means and why it makes the transmission change faster? Does this relate to both downshifts and upshifts?

The upgrade increases the "line pressure" so shifts quicker and ensures the correct "force" is applied to the transmission clutches.

Well that's my understanding

Hey Joe, are they still holding VMax at Bruntingthorpe these days? Good times! Tell Craig hi for me - he knew me as the guy with the murdered-out 996TT that sounded like a fighter jet.
