That sucks, but why would you try to make that car faster? It's made for luxury driving not 1/4 mile E/T's! Oh well, I guess having money makes wonder how you can waste it.

suprapimpa, there are various websites you should check out:
www.bnzsport.com (I am here all the time, its chill)
www.mbworld.org (lots of members, but mostly spoiled kids starting online wars)
www.benzworld.org (same problem as above)
www.club202.com (a new site mostly for W202 chassis C Class)

Also, check out www.mosselmanturbo.com since they may or may not make a turbo application for your car

99TL, the transmissions are built to last, and easily take the boost. Many companies are making forced induction kits for Mercedes and non have ever needed to address the issue of a weak tranny. These companies include HPS, Kleemann (current record holders for fastest sedan w/ their supercharged Mercedes E55, and SUV w/ their supercharged Mercedes ML55), Lorinser, Renntech, Mosselman, etc.

That's just sickening to look at after all that work. Damn, to have that happen the first time out too, just horrible.

Thanks for sites man ... hehe ive been on mbworld and benz world and your right man I was sickened at how spoiled those kids were and how they knew absolutely nothing.

Im gonna try Bnzsport hopefully I can get some info im looking to build a 1 off turbo setup I know a lot about it and I have Maximum Boost which I found out from Supraforums that it is a really good book to get you started building turbo kits.

Thanks again man I hate mbworld cause all they have is turbo kits since its all richy people trying to modify there cars and they dont wanna get there hands dirty and get some real work done. peace man btw your car look real good are those wheels photoshopped or are they really the size from in your sig?

yo.. I just don't freaking understand... What kind of person puts an ungodly amount of hours into a car and then does not carry a fire extinguisher with him ??? I do SR swaps at Z-Fever.. I don't care how many I've done... First time any motor swap.. hell any engine that was taken out and reinstalled, rolls out those doors... I'm carrying a ABC type extinguisher. I have seen my share of disasters like this.

later
martin
