'04 C230K Sedan
noob alert

Sup guys.... And Female gender.

I'm a straight up noob as MB owner. I know my way around the automotive and diesel industry, but every car is a different patient.

Anyway, I live down hurr in south AZ.
Drive an 04 C230k Sedan, and love this thing.

But to make this short, hello, nice to meet you, and does anyone know of a intercooler bypass set up? Or is this a non traditional set up? Meaning is this a non manifold mounted?

Wait, you want to bypass your intercooler? Why?

I just inspected the supercharger, and I see why the way it's routed. It's not a manifold mounted charger. Hmmm this makes sense as much as it doesn't.. But in any case that air is charged, and charged air gets hotter.. Damn thought I might get a nice charger whine by removing intercooler.

Answered my own question

Welcome to MBWorld! Looks to be in good condition! What part of South Zona are you located in? I lived in Tempe for about 2 years.

I live in Tucson.

I'm about to get the car buffed, should get a clean cut and new look.
