What is fault code P2263?
The P2263 diagnostic trouble code indicates that there is a performance issue with the turbo/supercharger boost system. The turbo/supercharger uses exhaust pressure and an air/fuel mixture to create boost. Vehicle manufacturers predetermine the range in which exhaust pressure is expected to stay.
Can a supercharger be removed from a car?
In addition to possible paint scrapes, removing the supercharger in pieces can tear the gasket. Luckily, Pelican Parts offers replacements: #111-098-00-80-MBZ for the fiber housing gasket, #111-098-01-80-MBZ for the rubber intake gasket. Normally, the supercharger doesn’t need to be removed unless its bearings are whining.
How much does a Mercedes Benz supercharger cost?
Also, factory-new Eaton models are still available (#111-090-10-80-MBZ) for slightly more than $2,700 from Pelican Parts. When reinstalling the supercharger, the recommended procedure specifies tightening the two main lower bolts first. Torque spec for the supercharger bolts is 21 Nm.
Can a Mercedes Benz supercharger be removed before facelift?
Removal methods likely vary among models. The demonstration here is on a pre-facelift 2000 SKL230 Kompressor, which has the M62 supercharger. Our car also has TLEV California emissions, which often means more clean-air plumbing than cars built for the international market.
Can a supercharger be removed from a Mercedes SLK 230?
After watching a YouTube clip of a British mechanic remove the supercharger in a matter of minutes (TV magic?), we decided to attempt a minimalist approach. The upshot: It is possible to jockey an M62 supercharger out of an SLK230 Kompressor (engine 111.973) with the motor mounts and fan/shroud still intact.

How does boost control work on a supercharger?
On vehicles equipped with a traditional turbocharger or supercharger, a wastegate or bypass valve is used to control boost. On modern vehicles, the wastegate is operated by a PCM-controlled boost control solenoid. Boost pressure gets relieved by opening the wastegate. The PCM monitors this process using a boost pressure sensor.

When does turbo / supercharger an underboost condition occur?
This means that it is only triggered if your vehicle is installed with a turbocharger or a supercharger system. Because this modification is usually high performance, you will not see it occurring unless you have a sports car or a customized vehicle that features a turbocharger or a supercharger.
