so this maybe an old tread or repetition, but i thought this may help and be an alternative to a mosselmann turbo kit...if its even worth slapping on a turbo on these cars anymore this is for you

tru tru its all BMW, VW/ AUDI. not all benz's are diesel lol but yea you can slap a turbo on any car. i think the only reason they dont do it for benz's cause Most DONT COME IN STICK!!!! and a bigger motor. lol BMW on the other hand , u can have a V6/ I6, V8 or even a V10 in a stick. hats what makes it more appealing in my eyes to tune. VW/audi are cheaper and they are also almost indestructable

thats what I'm thinking but i would think some euro tuner would take the time with Mercedes. Not even BRABUS adds manual tranny in their cars. as far as indestructible that i cant believe IMO Mercedes is the most reliable ( at least in the last fours years) VW has grate engines not much els BMW aengines not so much as far as reliable. Mercedes usably has he most powerful engine and like you implied never adds a manual tranny.

reliability wise ide say in order is
1. mercedes
2. VW /Audi/ Porsche...also skoda and seat in Europe)
3. BMW ( my dad had a few in the late 80's early 90's apparently they were a piece, something always broke in them)

but we always had at least two 500 SEL's or 300 SEL turbo diesel ( a mix of both once in a while)

and a we went through lincoln own car liek nothin lol
