You car is quick no joke, believe your stage 3 correct? What mod's do you have done, just curious if they are turbo upgrades like internals or differnet turbo's?

PL27

dime airboxs, intercooler, turbos (compellor, turbine) downpipes.

brad65ford

bad ***! Can you explain more as in whats involved with the turbo upgrade? Also have you had any trans or tuning issues with all the upgrades?

PL27

no trans problems internally other than the fact the transmission temps heat up quickly depending on the outside weather but people with stock cars / tune / dp have these problems from what i've heard. Turbos are stock housing meaning they look stock from the outside just different from the inside. Only tuning issue is the wastegates or whatever on the turbos don't go over 22psi. But 22psi is good for 620whp, so that is conservative / safe power.

brad65ford

Yup mine too seems to get funky or heat stroked down hear in FL temps and its stock! You and Guilty seem to be running similar power output and numbers. Guessing the safe amount is around 620-640rwhp before **** starts going in the trans.

PL27

who knows on that questions nobody has really pushed the envelope. I believe after 650whp you have to upgrade the fuel pump

And the cost of air boxes and intercooler 10k ?

Fuel pump lol. What will you do when MCT melts down?

brad65ford

not to derail the thread but all these questions some of us know or almost know. There seems to be a lot of guineapigs when it comes to turbo upgrades on these cars. Meaning tuners saying sure it will be fine then they come accross with some issues making it not so smooth. Its always good to see people like the OP seem to have a seemless enjoyment with his mods.

Please share your experience with all your mods and whom has done them. any issues?

AMG 17GT

Good points.

Just putting people on notice that it's not all pure.

PL27

retail is airboxs 4k, intercooler 4k, and if my MCT melts down which will be a long time from now. i/ve put 10k miles on since stage 3 and i changed my transmission pan to a bigger one and the fluid looked good and no metal shaving stuck to the pan which is a sign. It's a benz cant expect anything to be cheap considering AMG tax. If there was more competition the prices would be much lower

PL27

and if you cant afford to have something go wrong with your car out of warranty, you definitely shouldnt be highly modifying your car. It's a pay to play game which is very enjoyable for me and i can afford many many broken parts if they break on my car for now 16,000 miles later of straight abuse still runs great.

What's the best 0 to 60MPH you've achieved with those mods?

PL27

At the track awhile ago using launch control

C63S Oz

That's impressive, I assume that's about a mid 10 second 1/4 mile. Can I also ask what size rear tyre are you running?

PL27

295/30/19 r888 on stock rims, now i have 295/30/19 r888r on a 10.5 rim. No rubbing at all even with weight in the back

Syndicate949

That's fast!!! How can get my hands on those extended paddle shifters you have?

Alex98

eBay, his car is made in china

Where in ATL are you? I haven't found many enthusiasts down here. My 507 was just about the only Benz at the Perimeter car show.
