Mt first car was better than this car lol I had a rx8 as a first car then downgraded to this as my 5th car😂

Definitely 😂 my shit was so slow that a UPS truck beat Me one night, I thought I had something back then😂

Yes I was cringe 😂 that was like my 5th car but it was like the first car I started modding

So you saying I got it on backwards?

@@Mercenary_MaL I'm actually having trouble remembering exactly, because they make different versions for different engines, and they are also confusing in how they work! The oem setup should be that air flows from the little tubes on the intake (between the filters and turbos), into the engine. Only under boost would air flow in reverse. As long as blow-by is low, it won't blow any oil out and into those intake tubes. On mine those lines are bone dry. I know you checked yours, so if there was oil you need to figure out why you have blowby, or maybe the PCV is not working right? On the back of the centrifugal PCV dealie, pointing towards the intake, there should be a tube going directly to the intake. That's where oil gets sucked into the engine, and where you want a catch can. It's buried back there, but look/feel for it. It connects to the closest point on the intake about level with the top of the throttle blade. It not only can catch oil better there, but it can also catch any leakage at the PCV itself, when the seal fails and bleeds oil. I wanted to put a catch can on mine years ago, but never did, because I'm lazy. And back then is the last time I looked, so I'm going on memory here.

The cls550 comes with bags, I used Lowering Links to get it down lower

@@Mercenary_MaL oh okay thank you

@@Mercenary_MaL Thank you very much for the complete info. ✌😍

You don't know how bad I want to do a burnout in this car lol but its almost done just have to straighten the frame and bend my hood alil more then its done, it would have been finished but I'm always busy at work and I just bought another truck for the channel

If the check valve gets clogged up or broken that definitely can mess with the airflow of the vacuum pump, really doesn't take much to mess up airflow for a vacuum pump. Now for the ECU that may have something to deal with the vacuum pump if the check valve doesn't fixes the code. A d I'm not sure why it be oil on it, I'll have to do more research on why it does that and o get back to you

The default is full bypass, as you call it, or wastegates fully open. This vacuum is the only thing closing the wastegates. Unplug the vac line to it and take it for a drive and you'll see. When you start loosing vacuum because this valve starts failing, gets torn or whatever, you lose power. You may not notice if it's just a little power, so you need to monitor what's going on to see if the ECU is happy with the vacuum it has, or not. It's normal to have a little bit of oil in the vac line just past the valve, and I do mean little. If you pull the line at the solenoid and see oil, that valve is shot.

Lol I'm just a regular KZfaq mechanic, I did go to school for this in high school. Part 2 should be coming out like in a month or two, I work on the car any chance I get since im always busy at work

I used the taillight tint spray

I dont tolerate negative engery on my channel just a fair warning so 😂lol its only $10 so worth a try to see if it helps the issue before going into more expensive fixes, if you still having issues with the boost then replace or clean the boost controller which is another cheap and easy fix

@@Mercenary_MaLobviously this person has no knowledge of this platform.

This check valve is a very common failure point for this and the M157, and it causes low boost when it fails. People do need to be wary of what replacement valve they get because the cheapo chinese ones I've seen are lame. To get peak possible boost I broke down and bought a whole quality pump just to scavenge the valve off it. So an fyi to anyone buying a $10 valve, check your boost, or better yet, check your turbo duty cycle to see if the valve is good enough or not. The more boost you want, and the quicker you want it to spool, the better that valve needs to be.

Nope I have no issues from not indexing

Everyone has a right to their opinion and I have the right to not listen or care about your opinion for my car build😁

@@Mercenary_MaL you not caring is literally the point lol. You dont care about anything, including your car, or quality. But sure, keep trying to feel cool or wealthy while knowing you don't have the focus, energy, or dedication to actually be

It shouldn't be super oily buy it should have some oil on it

It's ok if the valve itself is oily because the pump side had oil flying everywhere and it gets on the valve, which will e dripping wet when removed. What you don't want to see is a lot of oil in the vac line between the valve and solenoid it goes to. If oil gets as far as the solenoid then the valve is not only bad, it's probably disintegrated. That valve is very delicate and will fail, it's just a matter of when. I'd check it at every oil change, or any time you think power is lower than normal. I'd replace it regardless if the car has 50k or 5yrs on it.

Thanks I appreciate, just have a few more stuff to get then I'm back, I figured I start putting videos back out instead of just waiting

Some cheap gloss black Diffuser from aliexpress, looks good though. And I used self tapping screws to keep it on because it didn't come with the tabs

@@Mercenary_MaL oh shit sick, do u remember the name? Mine was put on with rivets and its slowly coming off

a.aliexpress.com/_mNmEuTU

@@Mercenary_MaL 🙏. The problem I had was that I had to cut the spikes off the diffuser or smelled it didn’t fit. Did urs just fit on?

Yup it fit right on, but what I did was used the self tapping screws on the inside of the Diffuser and screwed it the inside of the bumper so the only way you can see the screws is if you take the bumper off

Not sure, that was my buddy runnin him. I probably would guess 500hp

I forgot the offset number and yes it definitely has camber on it

@@Mercenary_MaL i dont need to ofset no I just want to know how much u sepent for offset and how did u do can you inform me ?

That depends on which wheels you get that determines the offset, I spent around $400 for these wheels, I Got them from a pro drifter in Florida on the marketplace

Thats the good ole niteshade spray tint

I appreciate it, definitely have alot of videos coming up, I haven't uploaded any videos because im waiting to get this wreck job done, I'm like 85% finished just waiting on a few parts and wrap, I'm aiming for May for everything to be finished

Thats a old video from October, the car will be done in a month or two, I have lots of hours of the rebuild im going to upload when I'm done

@@Mercenary_MaL awesome looking forward to watching it 👍🏼

Nope just doing routine maintenance

I agree it definitely do look cheap, ima have to tell my buddy to take his off his benz also, I'm glad when I got in that accident it ripped the lip off, I won't be getting another one with my new bumper

Yup I only did that from past experiences with front lips flying off on previous car builds, thats just for extra assurance

@@Mercenary_MaL Oh ok bcuz I bought hat same one of eBay for my CLS 550. But once I realized I have to drill str8 into the bumper I said nah nvm. Was afraid I'd crack the bumper and cause a ripple affect all the ways across it.

Yup thats the exact part number

It was a electrical fire, I saw sparks come from the back of the engine

I actually did get the hose first but as soon as I came back the fire has spread quick

@@Mercenary_MaL That a bummer, sorry that happened dude.

But they Burn up too!

Cant be insurance fraud with no insurance on a garage kept Project car

Dude I love low life people like you we wouldn’t have anyone to talk shit on without your type of people

@@Mercenary_MaLthen why is the heck is there charcoal under the car?

Um thats leaves from the car sitting for almost 2 years😒

​@@Mercenary_MaLhey this sucks man. Your homeowners insurance may cover this. You'll be back on no time. Minor setback major comeback

I appreciate it, im still in good spirits, that will just bring a new project car to the channel

Why didn’t you roll it once you saw the smoke? Also did you not notice that giant leaf pile directly under your car? Always be aware of your surroundings

Wasnt thinking, first thing was to try and put it out with the water hose and call the fire department

Not sure you have to talk to @ernestgilliard2412 thats his benz, my Benz getting worked on at the moment

570hp 707whp

The Benz have over 700 to the wheels

@@ernestgilliard2412absolutely not lol
