Does anybody want to offer large Turbopipes for m157 Biturbo engine? Can anyone advice were to buy them separately? Since, all manufacturers such as Weistec, Kleemann, Renntech and Alpha offer the whole kit.

Weistec sells them separate. I think they are the only tuner right now to offer TRUE downpipes. Send Steve satneyel@weistec.com an email and tell them that Nino sent you. He will take care of you.

Thanks Nino!

Already sent them an email let's see what we get One quick question: Is it required to take out the engine to install the turbo pipes? Any suggestions?

Cory @ Kleemann

KLEEMANN currently has a turbo pipe/down pipe combination available for the 2WD E63 and CLS63 priced at $3695.00 inclusive of all necessary hardware and gaskets. 100% bolt-on. Precision CNC'd turbo flange/outlet, 304 stainless steel tubing, TIG welded, etc. +70 HP

Cory @ Kleemann

Excellent! Congrats!! Hope you're enjoying the power!

Goletiani

when 4matic be available?

Goletiani

I am very pleased with Kleemann turbo pipes and down pipes. Installation took only 3 hours and no problems with fitting at all. The car sounds louder and is very fast!!!

Very interesting. I have got E63 4-matic and now thinking about purchasing this kit as well. A few questions: do i understand it correctly that installation doesn't require getting the engine out (if you say it took you only 3 hours); have you dynoed the car before and after; for 4-matik do we need some adaptation or it fits well (eg Weistec offers new engine mounts for 4-matic to use their kit); where can i purchase the kit - only in the US or you have a EU dealership?. Thanks in advance.

Goletiani

The installation doesn't require to take out the engine. I didn't dyno the car yet but I can feel a huge difference. When I removed the engine mounts the bolts loosened, so I used a special glue when putting the engine mounts on. You can purchase the kit either from Danmark or the US. Also make sure you change the spark plugs Brisk Racing QR12LS and air filters I use BMC Sport Filters FB224/01, you will need a set of two. It will give you 770HP at crank.

Super, thanks a lot for your prompt feedback. I have now on OEM downpipes (but catted) 837hp at crank. That's why it will be interesting how it could raise it with Kleemann turbopipe + downpipe kits.

Goletiani

wow 837HP at crank! What tune do you have? Probably some crazy ECU tuning with Large Turbos?

vkudenko444

I have Renntech with their turbos upgrade.

Goletiani

Turbo Pipes will add huge power but I believe you will also need your ECU tuned accordingly.

vkudenko444

Well, i would only be for it, but as of now as i understand it is only RWD bolt-on. For instance Weistec's kit differs in 4-matic application from the one re RWD (inter alia it adds new engine mounts). Let's wait for the kit for 4-matic, i am happy there is some competition now with Weistec expensive products.

Why did you change/remove engine mounts?

Will these pipe work for the 2012 e550 bt coupe

Goletiani

The guys who did the installation didn't know that they can install the turbo pipes without removing the engine mounts. So they started loosening the bolts etc. When they released that that was a wrong approach they just put the bolts back on. However, they told me that the bolts were loosened before for some reason???

By the way that was at the local MB dealership in republic of Georgia.

Now I have a harder task for them. Modified turbos arrived last week from Turbo Dynamics. We have to take out the engine for that. I hope they install them without any mistakes. fingers crosses.
