Another twin turbo 55k car
Not my car but saw this guy on the w219 forum, figured this place would get better traffic:

This stuff has been posted in this forum. The owner put stuff in threads here and there is also a twincharged E55 that his friend or something like that is running stock blower and a big turbo mounted in the rear of car.

Could you clarify? Do you think he should've gone air to air, or gone with a better air to water?
Personally, I kinda like it. The boost piping is much shorter and simpler coming straight up from the turbos on each side allowing more instant boost. If you already have trunk tank (which he clearly has) or killer chiller can use those or add for more cooling.
There are arguments both ways, I just happen to like this way

Nice ... I was going to say it's a lot of work to build a manifold vs just using stock manifold and adding a pipe and flange. Looks like you are using schedule 40 piping - awesome, unlikely to crack, so this is being done the right way. Would love to see your build RedBullJ. Promise not to hound for updates every day

Nice custom intake manifold and saw the pics on instagram a while back.

This car is actually a CLS 55. I have a couple videos of the car up. The setup is working as it should. Dyno tuning is also complete via Eurocharged Performance. Thanks Jerry! We took it to the track for the first time but we are still dialing in the setup. Its trapping pretty well (127 mph) for a 4300+ lb car on pump gas but the stock converter is so tight (1200-1300 rpm) that I can't build any positive boost at the line. It's really impeding any decent ET's at the 1/4. I just bought a 3000 rpm stall and will try to head back to the track before the season ends.
The car has an upgraded heat exchanger and ice tank. Hot lapping at the track showed IAT's in the 130's. We did it this way to make it as simple as possible and to keep the charge piping as short as possible. I think it's working well this way. Some of those GT500 guys are using their stock IC's that appear to be the same size or smaller and making 1000 hp.
