Project Turbo upgrades

Guys i know all of you are waiting for someone to step in and do this mood so i wanted to share this with you all, i have ordered those Turbos about three weeks ago and didnt want to start putting it on the forum untill i get the turbos in hand. So today is day one since i got those turbos my engine has been pulled out of the car three days ago and it has been waiting on the bench for today, this is not an easy installation since its all custom made, expected completion of this project and getting results is somewhere next week. We have dynoed my car earlier with its ECU upgrade and had constent 550WHP on a dynojet, so hopefully we get somewhere north of 600WHP after i get everything completed. So your prayers for all of us

This link is my tuner and he will update it on his page on daily bases.

I definitely understand your point, for Mo, this is regular routine. The man has a Brabus Bullit and still needs more power in his stable.

As a modding veteran, i'm sure you know how these things can go. I wish you best of luck and hope it gets running strong sooner rather than later.

The transmission doesn't need any upgrading we are going to limit the torque at 1100NM the same as what's Brabus are limiting it on their cars

AMG are using Garretts

To gain some you lose some let's see what happens I feel confident with the transmission and all it would end up doing fine

Its great that you are installing larger turbos to your engine, but are you tuning for it?. Make sure that you tune for the bigger turbos and that your tuner is able to do so. If you dont, you will lose power Guranteed. I hope you are successful. Good luck

Thanks for the comments guys

Turbos are garretts, the manifolds are the same as oem, I am not into turbo sizes but I know the new wheels are larger by 30% and trust me I wouldn't think of doing any of this without having a tuner at stand by (Digi-Tec DXB), of course I would lose power if I don't get a tune with more fuel and boost.

Very impressive. How much boost do you plan to run?

Anyone know the boost limits of the stock engine?

We will take her to the limit and then put some safety margin, but numbers aren't on the table yet depends on how efficient we can cool the charged air and on how good are the injectors for and most importantly I want my car to be a daily driver so let's wait and see, the tuner flys in Sunday and will have some results by Monday with dyno sheets and all.

Are you able to check what type of Garrett they are?
