HELP with Blackboost Intake
I need some advice/help.
I purchased a used Blackboost intake for my 2017 c63s/ c205.
I was told the turbo inlet couplers were missing, but after I bought it i also noticed the air pressure extension cords missing.
Here is my delimma...
- Blackboost won't sell me the missing parts.
- And the guy I bought it from has ghosted me, I think.
My possible solution so far is
-try to find another aftermarket air pressure extension, if it exists(turn to online groups and forums for help)
- modify the pipes to fit OEM couplers
-if I'm lucky someone might have the parts available because the trash the rest of the intake. ( Highly unlikely)
Does anyone know of any possible leads on a black boost coupler or air pressure extension cord?

Thanks I emailed Blackboost HQ.
They said they won't sell it seperately and that I would have to buy the whole kit.
Does anyone know, if I have to plug in the Air pressure sensor? If I don't will it give me a CEL. I went down a rabbit hole yesterday, and found some Benz owners just plug in their sensor and tuck it away.
I think I might just modify the pipe to fit OEM couplers.

I know ModalWorks sells couplers (turbo inlets they call them). I couldn’t tell you if they fit but you could maybe modify them to work, but just another idea of where to get couplers. I’ve heard of a few OEM ones on ppls cars start to fall apart when they were messed with
They have OEM and 82mm

Yeah that's what Blackboost calls them too. Are aftermarket coupler/turbo inlet better than OEM?
My currently plan is to modify the pipe with a 3" to 2" adapter and stick it in the OEM ones, even if I have to buy new ones.
Unless another aftermarket will sell it to me.

Even plugged in, you may still get a barometric pressure error code if it's not plugged into the intake. The whole point of the sensor is to measure airflow. If it reads no airflow, there is likely going to be an error.

You won't need the air sensors.
