I put the first turbo upgrade he broke after 50 km i have sent the broke turbo to my turbo shop for rebuilt ... after it i make some dyno its ok and i chek the turbo after it and the turbo have not rebuilt have big shaftplay so i rebuilt this one too ... and now i dont push the car since That im thinking its maybe bad machine shop built the turbo first time (if is not broke again with my machine shop rebuilt ) and maybe the turbo are not good when you boost too much so i dont know if i going to drop the boost by 3-4 psi before to push the car again ...

^ i think he is saying 52+40 = 92 and then he was saying of the 40, 20 of it was turbo upgrade and then another 20 in repair/ rebuilding from the original turbo upgrade

otherwise i dont see how it could be 20+40 for turbo and repairs

We strapped it to the dyno right before the dyno got sold (new one on its way). We just wanted to check the base tune (AFRs,boost,etc..)...Will send data to Kevin and will get a revised tune. Will do that a few times..Will only get dyno numbers but no 1/4 track time since that is not what this car was built for.

Since the dyno we have been using got sold, I want to run it again with the base tune on either the new dyno coming in or my other buddies dyno. And which ever we use will be the primary dyno for the rest of the revisions and final dyno number. Keep the playing field and data consistent.

But it's looking like I will be putting the car up for sale not too long after we get it all wrapped up. The CLS63 became the wifes daily, so this build was for her. She doesnt like how the trans feels now, she says its more like the GTR which she hates that car. hahaha. So going to pick up the new S63 coming out...

For those who consider to do a turbo upgrade my math .
Software 3k
TCU 1k or so
transmission 5k
turbos 7k
down pipe 5k
labor + hardware 4000k
not counting spark plugs , oils , filters . another 500–600
turbos went bad , motor out
new cores 3K shipping etc $500 ? don't remember .
2–3 month waiting time ?
new upgraded turbos , labor , hardware 5k
money for upgrade got back .
250 miles and they bad again .
Cores 3000k , labor hardware 5k , back to stock lol car for sale .
$39000 and 0 gain in power , 9 month down time .
So think twice before you going to upgrade your turbos on E63 M157
ps dodge 1 week , 10k , 900 whp the car in 9s lmao
