Hi all , I have a 2003 SL55 AMG Based BRABUS SK55 K8, I would like to find out if anyone knows what the "Charge Air Temperature" for a standard SL55 AMG should be, I recently had my car put through the STAR diagnostics and my "CHARGE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR" and "INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR" values are 50 C, is this normal, BRABUS have fitted an extra Intercooler and Pump so the "charge air temperature" should be less than a standard SL55 along with the other BRABUS mods S/C Pulley and more I should have more. I had my car put on the Dyno and I should have 550 hp, instead I have 510 hp, where has all those horses gone??? I was told that my S/C temperature may be to high causing the ECU to reduce the engine power!!!
