Alright Mercedes tech heads... heres a question to ponder... i am really interested in using a well known custom turbo kit for sale off a 95 c220 motor.. i would like to use the header/turbo, intercooler kit and the intake assy that matches on my 97 c230 engine... will this fit.. is the head design the same between the c220 and later c230? Please help me in my quest as id hate to but the kit and find out i cant use it... it was suggested that i get a salvaged kompressor motor with the lower compression and use a turbo instead... since this motor has a lower compression ratio it should work well for turbo application.. the tech i spoke to also suggested a welded and modified turbo diesel transmission for strength. i wouldnt mind using the turbo on my stock motor, but i would have to keep the boost level down for the meantime till i upgrade to the modified motor and trans. Can this be done, and can i use the 2220 kit?
