It's probably from the intercooler on that side getting heat soaked and radiating hear when you park. You may have an issue with that turbo or the tune is pushing way too much boost and the turbos are just blowing hot air.

Thats wild. Curious how this happened, and just on one side. OP , the other diverter doesnt show any signs of stress?
That turbo is toast now. With that much damage to the impeller fins, there is no way it is still balanced, and will eventually self destruct - maybe a day, maybe a year.
Also I think you can rest assured that plastic bits are still stuck in the compressor housing and subsequent intake tract, including IC inlet. could have plugged some of the intercooler. Also would look inside the filter box.

I'm curious if these companies run more boost on a stage 2 versus stage 1. I seem to read on there poeple with the odd heat issue when people are running stage 2 tunes but not stage 1 (just going by threads I come across). I would have thought the only difference would be the cel for no cats would have been coded out, but it's got me curious.

explanation and a pic in the above hyper link , as Alex mentions in the post there are taps on each of the manifolds that could be used with an adaptor but the only people I know who make them is Weistec for their WMI kit and they don’t sell it separately. If you find someone that does sell them separately let me know !

It seems like a simple enough CNC’d piece. You probably could DIY something like tap the OEM plastic plug (#80) that twists out.

No one (to my knowledge) has aftermarket water/air intercoolers - only upgraded heat exchangers. You’ll have to buy OEM - look on eBay for a good used units, you can find each for a few hundred on there depending on their condition.

Time for Pure Turbos, might as well upgrade.

intercooler ordered eta Friday oem from Mercedes was only 450 with expedited shipping so I figured worth the extra 100 bucks from used ,certified shop doing the install Monday. going with pure turbo 800s next week and a whole bunch of other upgrades. csf heat exchanger, intake -either wiestec or eventuri haven't decided maybe even something else , maybe water meth looking into a good kit , definitely wanna get upgraded diverter valves at the least.

Sounds good man, it will be a beast!
Glad you are coming out of this well it seems.
Would be interesting to hear if you find out what the cause of the melted oem diverter valve ended up being.

My two cents , if you’ve got the extra money go with the pure 900”s . I’ve had Pure 800/900 and now YP4”s . The Pure900”s are the best balance between power and drivability and are complete plug and play , you can run 15psi or 32psi , just depends on your goals but that’s the best part about them , you have room to move if you want more power , you don’t really have this option with the 800”s.

Did you ever figure out what did it? Maybe just 10 hours of hard canyon driving in 95 degree weather? Do you remember if your cooled the car/took it easy for a bit before parking for the night?

---honestly I never could Gert a definite answer out of anybody, the best conclusion I coulkd come to was Ive driven the car pretty hard for three years , a burble tune and 27k miles fried my plugs , add the 90 degree plus weather that day and hill climbing and excessive burbling , also the car said it was low 1 quart of oil . I didn't let it cool when I parked it because the damage was already done .I opened the hood before I shut the car off and saw the hole , that's when I turned it off . that's the best I could come up with multiple little things that usually wouldn't matter added together . also the car did run veery hot that day 220 who knows maybe the intercooler/diverter already had an issue . one dealer said the MAF sensor wasn't plugged in which was complete bs the other dealer confirmed that it was bs .

I guess I’d like to get to the bottom of it more than anything regardless of a warranty claim or not. Unless I plan on trading the car in, it seems as if ima have to fix this one way or another
