I'm wondering why anyone doesn't call UGR to see if they will make something? It seems everyone wants this to happen but no one is willing to use their car for it...or so it seems. I understand why this is taking so long as there would obviously be a limited market and I'm sure no one wants to drop their beast off at a shop for a few months. 
UGR did the GT40 TT and I'm totally guessin here but I would assume that it's somewhat similar...
Maybe I'm just crazy...

side note though i have followed UGR for a while now and a UGR lambo gallardo is my ultimate dream car! when i have an EXTRA $80k for used lambo and another $70-$100K for UGRs kit laying around the bank, it will be top of my list of purchases
but until then i have to dream

i think no one here has done it because UGR's prices start at $70,000 for a build and go up in excess of $130,000 from everything i have seen ... which makes sense to a guy that can afford an $100,000 used lambo as a second car/toy but not to most of us that DD our $30K-ish e55s

I know exactly what you're getting at. I just find it funny that some people expect so much. TT'ing a 55k is no easy task. Some people just want it because they want it, for a ridiculously low price and they want it now.

I think some members have the right idea in that what is probably more feasible is a bigger s/c .... something we could bolt in with a new tune and possibly new injectors

id like to follow this as well ,
i put together a twin kit on my truck lsx motor based , and i had well over 10k after all was said and done , with a custom air to water intercooler , ported gt-35r turbos , all stainless hot side and aluminum cold side , tial 44mm wg's tial bov , it adds up very quick , 10k for a quality kit using bb turbos and ss piping is a decent deal . you really get what you pay for , turbo kits have alot of variables that can effect price .

Recall that Kleemann s/c system for V8 engines that came out in 2001 was about $20K installed. People gobbled that up. It may be too late for an aftermarket tt system for AMG, since AMG now makes their own. Price has never been the bottleneck, competence has.

...ok, where do I start? The UGR tt system starts at 35K NOT 70K on stock engine 5psi boost and 650rwhp. It's helpful to be factual otherwise the discussion will be waste if time. Secondly realize that the E55 post 2003 already has FI, so internals will not need to be re-worked. But mire importantly, NO ONE, said they wanted a tt system for "cheap." If you or anyone claims that price us there issue,then do like UGR does and name your price for the different tt stages. Insinuatingthat those asking for tt on AMG secretly can't afford it, deflects from the real problem which is that there are no real tuners in the AMG aftermarket workd who so far are capable of developing a dependable tt system.

and oh ok stock internals on the e55 are for a FI car so i guess that means we can push a million HP right? just because a car is FI doesnt mean the internals are not already at there limits... and tha UGR kit at 35K is for the kit, not the 40hrs labor that it requires... please call them but wait..... you own a 300ce so why would you call them or care about TT kits for our cars other than to troll and put down the tuners that are actually making any products for our cars... is your PP that small? and since you think all the MB tuners suck so bad, please, by all means grant us your infinite superior knowledge and show them whats up cool guy
until then your just talking out your A$$... peace TED troll (tt lol)

then he should out-mod all the tuners on the MB board that he is calling incapable... until he does, he still just talking out his A$$ and talking Sh*t about the tuners we all rely on....

Why don't we have a TT setup on this engine that has been out since 2003?

Sure thing, but weren't you the first one calling someone out about having a 300CE? Maybe you should search some of his posts, he has only been a member here since Dec. 2001. I suppose that makes him new to MBWorld and all the threads about modding our engines.

Ted Baldwin has been around here way longer then most of us and has the knowledge with modding the M113 to back that up.

so he's been around since 2001 and he still hasnt come out with a TT setup for the E55 but he's calling all the tuners on here incapable.... ok that makes sense
and we dont have a TT setup because of demand... please go take an economics class before you ask that question again...
Also the delorian and ford model T and buick LaSabere have been around forever... how come we dont have a TT setup for that either?

well his love for calling the tuners we have, "incapable" , and then him refering to UGR as proof that the tuners we have for our cars suck is just purely pathetic and if thats the character that you" +1" to then join his bandwagon and throw stones at our current tuners and see how fast they jump at request for new mods
And yeah, I'm so against new mods for the 55K..

Havoc's modding just shows how far he's willing to build the 55K. Unlike you, where's your mod list and TT kit?? That's what I thought boy!

and again, i dont have a TT kit cuz your BF ted keeps calling out all MB tuners and calling them "incapable" and running them off...
and my mod list on my audi would put you SL to shame, not to mention would own you on the street and all for under $18K including the price of the car
guess i am just a bit smarter with money than you don corleone
but thats cool, you win don corleone
