    turbo and supercharger kits are so expencive you might want to pickup a used Mercedes V8 of ebay or something much cheaper than a muscelman turbo kit or something of that nature, depending on what you want to do with your car you might want to check out Ebay.com or Ebay.de for turbos and superchargers i have seen a few for good prices

    Depends on how you want the power.

    If you get the s/c, the power is immediately felt when you step on the accelerator. For a turbo, certain amount of exhaust needs to build before the turbo kicks in.

    Do you want fast off the line or from a run of say, 60mph?

    Basically, get a s/c for off the line and a turbo if you want the power from a roll.

    In your case, you can get a turbo and run 14's with you C220. I dont know your background on turbos and such, but I would think that tuning and preparing the turbo for such a car is hard to do. Especially if you dont know what you are doing.

    The easy way would be to get a larger displacemnt car and go from there. I dont know your financial situation, so that may be difficult.

    with that link u showed me do u guys know how much boost he runs and for how long.

    and why does it say

    In addition, you will need to replace the additional oil and water lines, other than the oil-return line (pictured) as I feel that they were compromised in the fire.

    its not worth the cost to get 205 hp thats what my car has and its not very fast at all, even throwing a turbo charger on my car will yeild 285hp its not worth it either

    Step 1) Sell C220
    Step 2) buy C43

    Now you have a V8 with 302 HP and a better suspension and brakes.

    the other thing is that a C43 costs way more in insurance than a 300hp C220

    thats interesting, I am shure thats an old myth, i am 18 it dosent matter if i drive a ford focus, or mercedes most cars with in reason are the exact same ammount for insurance. And all my friends can't belive that I pay the same ammount or less for my mercedes when there driving fireflys and such, perfect driving record.
