Amen to gaffer tape!!That gaffer tape is powerful stuff

Keep us all posted on your progress mate.That's a mighty impressive torque figure given std is supposed to be about 515lbft as yours is a 2005 it will most likely have the late version SL55 blower on it like mine which may explain why it's putting out really good numbers. Hoping to get PLM V2 charge cooler fitted some point this year and maybe some PLM shorty headers then a map so hope mine makes similar numbers to yours would be very happy with that for sure.
Ive not heard of a supercharger change within cls55 production before. Is there any way to tell which is fitted visually?Keep us all posted on your progress mate.
thanks . any idea what the difference is? Mine is indeed a 580 being a late cls55the part number stamped into the top of the casting above the AMG engineers badge the early one ends 280 the later revised one ends 580 A1130900280 and A1130900580 most AMG 55 cars made from 2005 onwards seem to be fitted with A1130900580 2002-2004 seem to have mainly A1130900280 the odd very late 2004 plates which were made early 2005 but registered as 2004 before March plate changes could have later version installed.
If you put your hand next to the air intake pipes, the heat from the engine is very noticeable. That hot air getting into the supercharger is recognized by the ECU, which then retards the timing of the engine, thus reducing the power. Hard to believe just a split air intake pipe robbed me of 70 bhp. Gaffer tape to the rescue!!For what it’s worth, those plastic intake pipes are cheap to buy from MB - forget exactly but I’m sure about £10 each or something when I last bought some.
Can’t imagine them making huge differences to the dyno figures though obviously not ideal with holes in them!
Might be worth checking the engine mounts if they’re original, could be why they’re holed
Sure, I was just surprised it made 70bhp difference in a dyno room?If you put your hand next to the air intake pipes, the heat from the engine is very noticeable.

Checked mine and it ends with 580. This might explain the more than surprising power figs I got with just a remap and x pipe. Pity the roads are so crud laden I cant use the power. Next winter Im gonna sorn it until April at leastthe part number stamped into the top of the casting above the AMG engineers badge the early one ends 280 the later revised one ends 580 A1130900280 and A1130900580 most AMG 55 cars made from 2005 onwards seem to be fitted with A1130900580 2002-2004 seem to have mainly A1130900280 the odd very late 2004 plates which were made early 2005 but registered as 2004 before March plate changes could have later version installed.
