We are in Houston, Tx but also have locations in Toronto and London
If they have never done a TT system on a NA car, they will probably run into tuning issues.

I will caution you that while the CLS55 TT project went well, Chawkins remained on the factory ECU with tune and ended up scrapping his 20k install in the M113 because he couldn't get boost issues figured out, that was going to be an R&D project for what was going to become a kit you could buy. So I think you'll find it's a LOT more work than just slapping on the piping and tuning it once the turbos are on, you have to consider a lot of things like colder spark plugs, better engine management, etc etc. He ended up slapping a Wiestec 3.0L blower on it and called it a day, a very very fast day. Unfortunately they don't make superchargers for the M273, Kleemann had a design out there but never put it into production.
If you want to read the 30 page long drama and the smartest AMG guys trying to figure out the problem, here it is: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...-born-bip.html
I'm always skeptical of these threads with no pictures or promises other than words but I hope it goes well and you actually do it haha

BIP performance and all of the companies Chawkins worked with were definitely reputable and very well known, actually a lot of top players in the industry, I'm not saying it can't be done I'm just warning you that there will be a LOT of customer involvement in tuning and actually building the car because once again it's not as simple as you're making it out to be as far as just fabricating and tuning. You're not just going to drop off the car, have it fabbed up in a week, tune it, and daily drive it like normal. It could work, but it could also be a nightmare as it was for chawkins because even though he used the tuning file from the CLS55 TT, it never worked for him.
Also consider the torque limits on your transmission... If you were on the 722.6 on 4-Matic models it would be a lot less concerning than if you're on the 7G-Tronic, it will shatter like glass above a certain torque level, so not sure if you have a built transmission on your roadmap because the torque capacity for the 722.9 is 542 lb·ft, which seems low if you're planning on realistically putting down 650rwhp.
