Thanks for comments gents! It's been a journey.. She's still in getting ABC repairs. She's also had the rear "Dukes of Hazards" look removed photo shoot pix were from July 2nd, after I get her back we'll have a pro video shot by Rennen Modular, & plenty of topless shots. She'll be modified a bit more too I just spoke w/Marcin of SpeeDriven full steam ahead on Anarchy M1 Turbo upgrades..

Just joined to post this.

I saw your car at the dealer a few weeks ago, and it was amazing...first time I'd seen it in town. I kept my eyes peeled, looking for your car everywhere I went. I finally saw it tonight (upper state-ish)

Amazing build.

What an amazing project with an amazing outcome. Beautiful result. It takes a certain individual to endure a project where your car is literally torn into pieces. And a shop that you totally trust to do quality work in a reasonable time frame.

I've added many NEW mods & redone many things on the car I didn't like or feel wern't finished to my standards.. I'll compile ALL recent things I've done & post pix here

I've pretty much given up waiting on Marcin/Speedriven for my Turbo upgrades & taken on the project/build myself (assembled Tuning/Fabrication team & purchased nearly brand new set of SL65 Turbo/Manifolds & pair of Brand NEW Intercoolers to run in QUAD formation like Brabus has done) OE Tuning/Jeremy will be Tuning her

Sit back W/some MANY NEW pix coming today of ALL new mods & redone parts & Turbos etc.. Still purchasing latest from Garrett/Tial & having 1-off Header/Down Pipes made just like Jody proved possible on EV12 build

Ricker brother you were Marcin's loyal apostle and biggest cheerleader for a while there bud...why the split? Was it R&D issues and such that caused the delays? Just saying even if it takes a little bit longer may be more cost economical to go w a proven solution rather than doing it on your own... think (1) design (2) fab (3) implement solution (3) testing (4) fine-tune and troubleshoot (5) re-deploy if needed. It takes TIME and MONEY and real effort/WORK. Do you have access to engine dyno> not a chassis dyno but a true engine test facility? if you're one-offing performance parts (and combos especially) you will need to measure gains (or losses) emperically...not just by how things feel or sound or how "cool" they look. Performance is an objective index not a subjective inference.

best of luck bro

This paragraph is def implying i've based ALL my past modding gains etc thru this absolutely pathetic litmus test for configuring gains/losses your basically stating I judge my gains/losses
just by how things feel or sound or how "cool" they look
Where do you get this highly insulting definition? I've Done everything all rest of the respected modders have done here, used quality products, quality tuners, properly calibrated Dyno's of EVERY type made minus a few that aren't available here in US.. I've used DynoJet/DynoDynamics/MustangDyno/SuperFlow Dyno (just lik DD) etc on every vehicle owned thru ENTIRE MODDING PROCESS..

Think Jody's EV12, NO engine dyno etc.. Seriously your off the wall posts are pushing me away from posting anymore progress on this build on this site... Speedriven/Marcin is impossible to reach on the phone/email/text etc I'm not the only person having this continued problem, I'm certainly not sending my SL few thousand miles cross country to his actual shop, if I can't even get the guy on the phone..

I've already purchased needed parts, Jody's build was far more complex as he had to transplant engine/trans/etc then fab turbo work etc YES it works w/all these hurdles w/out your over complicated version..

Thericker this has been a great thread, don't let one persons comments stop you from keeping everyone else up to date. This is an awsome project and I look forward to continue reading about updates, along with some pics.

Real head turner, and now a little more HP on the way.

Rest is new Brake Rotors/ Steering wheel, alum paddles, Alacantra/full Carbon Fiber interior inc new shift knob.. Basically new set of SL65 AMG turbos/manifolds/ & brand new pair of Intercoolers (they will be used in quad formation just like Brabus, fitment is perfect!) Few more pix to follow..
