80amg TB Swap...and a ?
Well I started the throttle body swap at around 8 and just finished up at midnight! That is a pretty big job for just a throttle body. I have to say that I am impressed how easy the car is to work on, and how well it is built. It Isaac two person job tho. My friend terminator and I thrashed on it and only had one little firment issue. So I am excited with the parts and their quality.
I have a question as well...
During the swap we lost some intercooler coolant, where do I refill that and what coolant should I use? Has anyone used water wetter before in the Benz? I used that in my supercharged TBSS and had good luck with it??? Just wondering. Anyway thank you for reading this and your input!

I use WW with distilled and yes I did notice a reduction in IATs however my system is also split with a 2gallon tank.

Is there a specfic coolant I have to use? Is the stock res for coolant the tank just to the right of the engine for the engine and the intercooler? I am thinking so but just wanted confirmation! Just wondering if I should add WW to the stock Coolant with a little distilled water as well....
