2014 S550/500 & 2007 S350
![Exclamation](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon4.gif)
I have a 2014 S550 which I believe is a 4.7 V8 Twin Turbo. I had an accident with this car and it had to be repaired, however fortunately the engine was left unharmed for the most part. Ever since, the car's performance is not the same. Usually when I would put my foot down I could really feel the car push be back into my seat, however now I feel very little pressure at the lower rpm's making my acceleration a lot slower, eventually at higher speeds I feel it regains some power. I'm not sure whether one is working and one is fault OR it's computer settings OR intercooler? Was wondering if you could shed some light on my situation.
P.S Is the twin turbo system Parallel or Sequentially based? Would appreciate all your comments.

parallel system
start of by checking if the IC pump is working and all the air is bleed out of the system. you can also monitor what the air intake temperature is.

This is a serious issue and you need to contact the insurance company so they pay for the inspection and repairs.
A friend was rear ended recently in his Jag XJR. The insurance company paid for the body damage but he later realized the transmission was not shifting properly. His attorney advised him to contact insurance company and they paid for the inspection and replacement with a brand new Jag transmission, over $10K.
