I never said he wasn't nice. I simply said he wasn't forthcoming, and that's been my experience. I contacted him on Instagram after seeing his post here and being directed by other forum members to contact him that way. He said he could get the entire twin scroll setup for me (turbos, manifolds, lower heat shield, coolant hoses). He quoted me a price. I asked him how he dealt with the extra torque without damaging the tranny. He replied. I said ok, I'm in. I wanted to purchase the entire swap. He didn't reply, then removed me from the followers of his Instagram. I figured maybe that was a mistake. So I gave it a few weeks, followed him again, and sent him another message. He removed me again.
Maybe your experience has been different than mine. Maybe he's a super nice guy. But my experience wasn't very fruitful, even though I was waving $$ in his face to get the setup he talked about.
Maybe you can elaborate more on his setup?

Oh damn. Lol idk what's with that. He wasn't offering to sell me any of it, part numbers on his e63s manifolds, where to buy them, what efr turbos he has and the issues he had with fitment and suggested I stepped down a size... He drew me a picture to show me the angle of manifolds and how to adjust the turbos to fit, etc...

Ditto. But can't deal with that in my daily driver too, when none of my other projects are finished either lol.
True that. Hopefully I'll be following you in suit shortly 
Puuuuuurty
But I actually decided to go with pure 900s rather. I don't see the advantage of changing manifolds and having to do all this special stuff when that set of turbos exist, and are good for 900+ which the car can't even handle due to tmap and transmission.

There’s a guy upgrading his turbochargers with Weistec W.4 on his C63s. Check it out on Instagram (@thorc63s - https://instagram.com/thorc63s?utm_s...d=8p7iw4r5q2ho ) must confess I’m eager to see the results. We all know the M157 (E63, CLS63) can get stupid power, let’s see how’s the M177 going to perform.

I think blaferty on here might be doing the same.
Aside from the price ($10K; more than double the cost of Pure Turbos), some ppl have had wonderful experiences with Weistech, while others have had absolute horror stories to share. Stuff like this: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-c63s-...ml#post7276475. That's a lotta $$ to gamble with IMO.

Can we get our own Garrett GTX 3071R turbos?

For W4, you're right, they don't require a core.
" The Weistec compressor covers provide mounting for the OEM wastegate actuators and is compatible with the stock charge piping. A 3 inch anti-surge inlet is standard to provide unrestricted flow to the compressor.
The Weistec Turbine Housings have V-Band inlets, to allow for a cleaner and easier install, and turbine outlets that not only match the factory location, also have the same flange design to use the same Weistec Downpipes and Midpipes as the stock turbos."
Sounds like they're using a proprietary housing that's made to work with the C63. Obviously, if you have a turbo guru near to you, they could probably look and tell you if the housing design matches something off the shelf.

And I should have specified what I was referring to.
A friend with a w212 e63 ordered "upgraded" plugs for his car, after inspecting them we realized they were identical Bosch plugs as his stocks, only difference was the part number on weistec was grinded off so they can hide that fact.

That's weird. I know in the RX7 and Supra community, you typically SAVE money when buying these OEM parts from aftermarket suppliers, who obtain them directly from the manufacturer. Eg, Supra TT denso fuel pump was like $400+ from Toyota. $195 from aftermarket source, same Denso part #, without Toyota branding.
I thought the whole point of aftermarket was to get more bang for your buck compared to stealership pricing...?
