What I am most impressed about is the fact that the 7-speed did not need any reinforcement! Holy smokes!
This wasn't a bolt-on affair though, so I wouldn't go crazy with this just yet. The ML63 already has a high price of entry and with the motor work they talk about you are going to pay probably another $30-$50k for this kit... that's a hefty proposition.

...........sorry for the uunintended false alarm.
............as fas my car is concerned; Engine is rebuilt and installed and s/c put back on and I drove car $700 miles from Atlanta to Miami. Car is curently getting a custom intercooler upgrade and a check engine light fixed.
...........Future plans; as you can see from what Kleemann did with the ML63, the correct way to go is what I did. Rebuild engine to lower compression then add turbos. Having said that, prior to the Atlanta to Miami drive I had not driven my car for over a year and after I drove it, I fell in love with it all over again. I don't want to put it back in the shop for another long absence.........for now. My immediate plans are to convert the pullies to an 8rib one belt system ala C32 and use an ASP C32 crank pulley together with an 8 rib Kleemann s/c pulley(which I already have) for more boost and have fun with it for now. Basically make it into boosted C32 format. When I get bored, the turbos go on. Thanks for asking.

IMO, pretty much everything they did is wrong. If they wanted to lower compression, they should've done it the right way with lower compression pistons instead of a thicker headgasket.. which is more of a band-aid than a real long-term solution. None of the powertrain components have been changed as well, which is surprising, to say the least.
