I am looking to install a VTA Adapter on my 2024 AMG GLE 53. It has the M256 engine but apprentely the engine setup has changed for MY2024 to all previous years.

Does anyone know where the bypass valve is located? Or have any access to any Mercedes charts for mechanical diagrams. It was always on the turbo compressor but it is no longer there. That means it likely has been moved to either the charge pipe or the intercooler, but I cannot locate anything in this engine bay.

Thanks!

I installed the VTA on my 2021 GLE 53. I doubt the location would change, as the turbo is probably in the same spot and so would the VTA. It’s located at the top left of the engine bay from a birds eye view. It was honestly such a pain to take out the bolts because of the tight fit and lack of visibility of the bolts. And try to not run the car before because the turbo and downpipe are scorching hot.

Thanks for replying. LOL as nobody else did, nobody replies on this forum to anything unless its a spam post about wheel discounts . Anyways, as I mentioned the location is different in the 2024 GLE 53 so yes it has changed from the previous years, this is the reason for my question. I contacted the VTA companies and asked them for install instructions and my setup looks different. I even sent pictures for where yours probably is which is like you said on the back of the turbo I have a circuit board there.
I did look all around the back to see if I could locate it myself as I know what I am looking for and I could not find anything since I just dont know where to look. Thanks anyway.

6 months later bump. Since more 2024 GLE 53 owners now exist.
Did anyone manage to get the location for then VTA adapter location?
