I'm new to this site. This forum is very informative, but need more help. I purchased a 2005 E55 amg about 3 months ago. Tested it out @ the track, stock. Best time, 60' was 1.980. 1/4 mile, 12.978 @ 108.82mph. Installed FTP stg. 1 kit, which include H/E, I/C pump, s/c pulley and ECU tuning. Every parts were installed. Went back to the track, had one pass of 12.5 @ 110.67mph. 60' was 1.815 on stock tires.

Need help to figure out what is going on with the car. Thanks for your input.

did you bleed the system after filling the car up with coolant?

T9ja

It was my mechanic that installed it, so I'm not really sure.

Will that cause the car to loose boost?

HeissRod

If the air bubble in the system causes the s/c to heatsoak, then yes.

SO how can I fix that if they didn't bleed the system? Because the car starts off fine, then just feels like the boost just disengage. It pulls real hard in the morning hours.

There is a bleeder valve on the top of the engine, you'll see the hoses going to the S/C..drive the car so it gets warm..get a piece of drip hose from Home Depot, I forgot the size sorry and then hook it from the nipple to the resevoir and wait for bubbles to hopefully come out..it may take a few minutes..there is a thread in the DIY sticky with the hose size..

Ok. Thanks. Will try to search for the thread.
