They are selling more than you think, some guys just don't come on these forums and make it public for fear warranty repercussions and such. The last time I visited Weistec they had a half dozen GT-S's in their shop for various degrees of work and although I have not yet visited the DIME facility I do follow them on social media and it always appears they have a few GT's in their shop as well. I am sure Eurocharged has done their fair share as well.Originally Posted by ddtung
Competition brings out the best(prices) in every supplier. The upgraded turbos are not flying out the shops so I doubt anyone is paying full price.

Not messing with it until I see someone trap over 135 with their upgraded turbos.
Stock cars have done 126-127 and tune/downpipe cars have done 128-130 IIRC.

Trap speed is a better indicator of how much power the car is making.

Correct, optimally, I would like to see very low tens with close to mid 130s trap speed.

What do these upgrades do to your warranty and ability to obtain MB AMG flashes and upgrades?
Also, wouldn't it affect your ability to trade or sell the GTS in the future?
Just asking.......
This kind of mod will kill your engine and power train warranty 100% and any other kind of failure they can link it to.Originally Posted by JSwan724

A while back I was at my MB dealer and was walking around the service area. There was a new cls63 with 400 miles that had no engine. I asked what happened and that information was being kept a little private, but the cost was not---approximately 100k for the repair.

Geez! I'm not playing! At least not until my warranty is over. Life is short, and so is my pocket.Originally Posted by Td33

If you want to discuss the topic of mods and voided warranties why don't you start your own thread? Originally Posted by Td33
