Any other Twin Turbo CLS55's out there?

Heres my project so far...should be wrapped up in the next two weeks.

I am utilizing the stock air to water intercooler with a larger capacity heat exchanger, ice trunk tank, johnson pump, and meth injection. The turbos are GTX 3076.

All work is being performed by Powerhaus Performance in Gloucester City, NJ

SLK55 AMG - Renntech Supercharged
I can't wait to see the numbers. Just swapping the parasitic supercharger with the turbos should be good for a 90HP gain. That setup would look nice on my 3.2, albeit a little smaller version.

I'm surprised your builder didn't go air-to-air on the intercooler to complement the turbos, since the OEM intercooler seems to be the weakest link when these cars start making big boost. I guess you'll have it covered though with the ice box.

I like to see something different. Looking forward to seeing the outcome. I've never seen A/A intercooler on a roots style blower, not sure how that would be package? Good luck!

Thanks!

Top half is just about done. Time to figure out the bottom half!

We hope to be done in about a week and have it ready for tuning.

This is going to be wicked!!!!! I would think space is at a premium in the engine bay. Fitting the manifolds and twin turbos in there will be tough. Really looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

It appears the turbos will be underneath/behind the engine.
