Turbosystems upgrade turbos for AMG GTS

Anyone ever installed Turbosystems upgrade turbos? Any comments?

https://www.turbosystems.info/produc...bochargers-kit

If I install only turbos and nothing else, what is a result?
Is it definitely must tune your ECU?
I am using stock OEM downpipes and exhaust and I do not change those.
I do have BlackBoost intake system.
/Arto

P.S And NO catless downpipes etc. Living in Finland.

Hi,

If you only install larger chargers without increasing the boost pressure + other parameters (via ECU software) you will not have any additional performance.
You will tend to lose torque = power in the lower speed range.
Software is essential when increasing performance. (The original turbos still have reserve)

If it is a problem in Finland, then it makes sense to leave it as is.
Max 2nd Cat delete. (also invisible possible)
Catless downpipes only necessary for extreme increases in performance.

I would personally sell it and replace it with the original air filters.
If you like it, leave it. But don't expect any increase in performance.


The main questions are initially different.
Which performance area do you want?
What is the maximum you want to invest?

Best regards
