The pictures put me right to the spot. The line was not plugged but was off at the nipple on the intake pressure side. With the M/B tech having his SDS laptop plugged into the big plug not more than 6" away, I would have thought that he would have looked. Guess the $800 extra fee was to much of a temptation.
It looks like the high temperature made the hose swell and pop off.
I cut an inch off, rehooked and went for a road test. The rocket is back!
I'll get some new hose tomorrow.
I still have 2 fault codes showing that the tech was suppose to reset. I'll ask the shop why he did not reset the faults.
Will they reset themselves?
Now on to Level 2 Chip, AMG front bumper, etc.
Wher to find those options?

Thanks Again,
Larry

Great! those boost modules rarely fail...also you can use a zip tie on the rubber line when its on the nipple to hold it in place, you can see in my pictures I liberally used zip ties to make sure that the hose would not come off.

For the chip you could go to www.speedtuningusa.com ask Oliver for the "Aggressive" chip. Tell him you are a member of this forum and he will give you a discount.

For the AMG front bumper, they are getting harder and harder to find, especially for the pre-facelift models, the only place that I know that carries them is Performance Products, http://www.performanceproducts4benz.com/productpage.aspx?pid=100730&name=AMG+Body+Kit+(W210)

Make sure you get the pre-facelift one. Good luck!
