Looks like a bigger hot side on the Brabus. Who makes the turbos for MB? You can probably get a different wheel and hotside from the people that make the turbos and save yourself a bajillion dollars.
Edit: Never mind, from what I remember the turbo is integrated into the exhaust manifold (one piece)... ghey

Ahh, so we build a new exhaust manifold.... no big deal!

This is how the Brabus sells their kit, and yes the exhaust manifold is a one-piece cast with the turbine housing:

Out Of Control!!
I like the way you think! 
Same as Audi and Porsche. If it wasn't one piece it would be so much easier to upgrade

3/4" lines front to back tucked into the cavity under the plastic shielding on the passenger side of the vehicle. We use the 4gallon capacity tank but some people might not want to give up that much room in the trunk. On the 55 and 65 we put them in the spare tire well area.. The tank is 12" W x 12" L x 8" H. This is the setup I run on my 55 as well. It provides enough capacity that you can put a decent amount of ice in the reservoir.
Also, once we get the "super chiller" (AC condensor setup) done, having the 4gallon capacity is essential if you want to make sure the water stays at the cooled down temperature otherwise it will heat back up before you can even finish the 1/4mile. Our cars run the AC all the time except for WOT. As soon as you go WOT the computer cuts the AC which means the chilling effect stops. You need to make sure you have enough capacity to hold you for a good run.

Garunteed Larry at SP can Fab up a mani that will destroy that MB mass produced cast mani in every way.

Rhetorical question---I know you know the answer.....

How long before we have a TH400 swap thread, lol
But in all seriousness, what are the limits of the trans? It has to be the weak link. Has anyone opened one up?

Yes, I've known about Marko's car since Larry started working on it months ago. Its good to hear that it has done so well, I know the guys at Sound Performance, and they do some great work. I'll be sending my SL65 over to them to do the same exhaust and intercooler work that they did on Marko's car. We will also be upgrading the turbos, I'm looking at making at least 1000rwhp. I'll try and keep everyone updated on the progress once we get started.
waaaay back when they offered the SP57 single (killer spool, usable street power)...Larry was always very nice and helpful on the phone. Based on my previous business with SP, I feel much more comfortable with a kit from them for my CL65.Marko...insane supra...i love it! makes me miss mine :/
pics of my old supra (moment of silence cuz the idiot i sold it to wrecked it)

here's the SP57 single turbo I had vs 1 stock supra turbo
all the work I've seen from SP has been top notch...i look forward to what they have to offer for my CL65
