Update from low 12's in the 1/4
I just wanted to let everyone know that the M.A.P. sensor better known as the Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor was defective. The sensor will shut your supercharger down when detecting high levels of boost if it is defective according to the Benz techs. I was mind boggled for a while because I could not think of anything else that could be wrong with my car since I have replaced the IC pump, supercharger clutch and a few relay fuses. Hope this provides for good info for the all of you in the future, Thanks.
Chuck.

Good luck with the repair...always the last thing you change to fix the problem ;-)
Then you start all over again on something else!
Mine's back in the shop for a torn flex disk and a hose leak in the ABC. But it runs like a scalded dog now.
