the butterfly on the bypass remains closed during the pull. it starts to breakup and we let off, butterfly starts to open at that point.
this kit was not meant to be experimental, but rather a bolt on and tune purchase. IPS has been contacted as they have been zero help accept for sending 44mm waste gates. they did so because we told them to, as we had spent thousands on top of the kit price trying to fix this mess.
the kit is coming off, as I don't have time to eff with it anymore, and there are a couple massive events coming up that I need to get the car ready for. the kit will be returned to IPS, and we have asked for a full refund.

Not trying to stir anything up here but what gives, I thought the kit was supposedly ready to go needs nothing, at least thats how the IPS fanboys made it seem when Paul was doing his thing.
It really sucks to hear your going back after everything but I completely understand. I really *really* do. GL on your next journey.. 3L blower next?

Sometimes you have to just walk away. You're running out of time for Clayton, so I fully understand you running out of patience. Too bad it didn't work as advertised. What's next? Maybe a Weistec Supercharger????

Only one with a true proven working TT was clstt(binh)
He gave charts showing afr iat and boost, time slips. Nothing has been proven from rbj because if he goes over a certain boost(prolly 13-14psi) he will have the same issues as Chawkins.please let's keep this about this build from bip and not some other guy.

You can probably look at it and tell. If it is wide open when it starts falling on its face, that may well be your issue.
If you can't code it out, that will be an issue. You may need to boost clamp and add fuel controller (additional injector in boost pipe) to get you through this as a workaround.
If you are more adventurous, it may be possible to piggyback an AEM or other Standalone. I did this on Lexus IS300 allowing the stock ECU to control all functions (including drive by wire throttle) and the "standalone" controlling fuel and timing. No messing with CAN then. Not sure if the Mercedes stock ECU would be smart enough to tell if injectors and coils were disconnected. None of the cars I did this on had issues.

So others have noticed too? I actually don't think it's an MB transmission at all... likely a vacuum operated Chevy unit.

I don't think IPS stated the kit was complete. They were in the process of dealing with the spark blow out issue when the deal fell apart with Paul. I think Chawkins knew there was still some R&D that needed done and that IPS never had a chance to get it fully operational. either way, Buckhead & Chawk put some serious time and money into this project and couldn't get it to work and if any shop could, they would be a shop to do it. I assume IPS would have had the same poor results if they had stuck with it.

This place is a joke.
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. We were all looking forward to seeing the next level of performance. I can appreciate your tenacity, but this is just the absolute wrong platform for these types of modifications. 12 years working on them, 19 years in the business and I know a thing or two about the over engineered electronic complexity that makes these things tick.

Wrong!
Only one with a true proven working TT was clstt(binh)
He gave charts showing afr iat and boost, time slips. Nothing has been proven from rbj because if he goes over a certain boost(prolly 13-14psi) he will have the same issues as Chawkins.please let's keep this about this build from bip and not some other guy.

RBJ has gone to the track twice and posted his slips both times!! Is it at it's full potential,not yet but to say he hasn't proven anything is false!!

Wow twice to the track lol
He hasn't been honest at all about that dumb build. No charts no nothing, I bet you that car is pig rich at least at the start of the run for sure and he can't fix it and btw let's see what happens when he ups the boost, FAIL.
Only 1 successful TT and built and tuned in 30 days, lol
Chawkins, honest man, no bull**** at all, no excuses

If your buddies TT was so successful why did he sell it and not keep going with it?? You have this personal vendetta against anything to do with RBJ,you take any opportunity to bash him and his build.. Since you seem to know everything why don't you build a TT E55 and show everybody how's it's done,it'll never happen!!
The shop moved on to bigger things, fact.
The junky talks like he knows all but he doesn't. Like I said this is about bip not the junky, so if he wants he can open another thread to share his infinite wisdom and try to be honest then by all means.

Because he built it to show that it could be done and accomplished it in 30 days and running 10s, the only cls55 running 10s btw, NO NOS!

No , what was posted is that junky is the only one who can make a TT work which was a mistake. When you can run 10s without NOS then let me know. Until then , you think you can stop licking the junkys *****, he must be used to being a prag since he was in prison, maybe you were girlfriends lol

When your little ***** *** can run 10's PERIOD,let me know!! Not going to get into an internet fight because I know you would never say any of this to my face because you're a little internet tough guy who hides behind a computer jerking off to RBJ,you're obsessed with him and just mad because he doesn't give you the time of day.. So like I said let me know when you have something to run besides your *** receptacle..
Go gaggle on his ******* lol
