Thanks, x'ed. I've employed the help of a friend of a friend who knows even more than I do about FI, and he's a Mercedes buff, to boot. We're in the process now of locating all the parts. The guy I'm working with knows of a distributor that will sell me a rebuilt AMG blower for $250. This is a steal considering the unit will be in certified, working order.

There are quite a few more parts necessary to get the car up and running than I had originally thought, but I figure the entire project can be completed for under $1500. Of course, you'll have to run low boost without an engine rebuild, but my research tells me that there's no reason you shouldn't be able to tack on an addition 60whp or so without any problems.
