Yes, after 6 hours of work I finally got my turbo off, not an easy Job with the engine in the jeep.

My right exhaust manifold is leaking so I ordered a new one, will take some pics for you guys

Hey where are you guys getting your tuning files for this written at?  We're doing the same install right now at our shop, and we're having a helluva time finding someone to rewrite the ecu....  Most every tuner for the Benz version (not jeep) is in Europe.  We're trying Kleemann in Colorado Springs to see what results we get, but thus far it seems everyone's afraid to touch the software.  We're doing the GTB2260VKLR upgrade in addition to all the emissions delete's we've done, hoping with the upgraded MAP and the SW upgrade that we'll still make quick times at the strip, even though they're warning us it may take a few times to get it dialed in perfect.  We were able to get all the programming for our deletes done successfully on our OM642 jeep, but the Benz software apparently is completely different.

Why bother with that engine?  They blow themselves up...

Anything's gonna blow itself up running super high temps with a light ass oil.  We take care of this one for an 84 year old man, who swears by amsoil 20w50 and amsoil for all his other fluids.  If it blows, it blows, and we'll put another in.  Everything dies eventually, but we're gonna have fun with it until it does.

I went with n out-of-the-box GDE hot tune and have never been super impressed with it. I'm in colorado to boot.

Anyone know the part number for the Turbo support / pedestal with the extra water inlet? 

And how did y’all route the water exist? 

Thank you
