Building CL55!!!
I am still pretty new to AMG life and wanted to get some info and what is the best way to get started on a bullet proof build.
I have 3,000 starting off for the first purchase and I plan on buying throughout the year.
I am leaning towards the stage 2 kit from Eurocharged and I have always herd good things about the company.
FTP I have herd 50/50 and I am really just interested in the bigger fuel rail and intake.
Please help me out. I'm sure this has been covered a million times so if someone can just push me into the right direction that would be extremely helpful!

Usually you want tune, smaller pulley, heat ex changer and IC pump are the basic mods, then I think for V8 guys it's headers

He's saying that because the S/SL/CL ABC sooner or later has problems, whether its a bad strut, bad ABC pump or bad valve block from my time of ownership I from the 50-60k mark I had an ABC pump and both front struts go out, and both times require a rodeo, unless you have a warranty fixing ABC issues can be pricey.
Only thing that isn't so bad anymore are the struts, they go for 2 grand a pop from the dealer and I've heard even MB CPO warranty doesn't cover them anymore, but you can find Arnott struts for 500 each and they back them.
