Default Re: Turbo Project about to begin but decision needed

We are designing tuning around a system that has been developed by Corky, adapted by Kleeman and proven its reliability on boosted Mercedes V6 and V8 engines (112 & 113 engines). I shouldn't be giving away Kleeman's secrets, but will tell you that no tuning on the ECU is necessary and that no changes or swapping of the fuel injectors is required. Read that as saving a bunch of money. When the car is not under boost the car will drive just like it came from the factory. As soon as boost is detected the air fuel ratios will be correct right through to maximum boost. 8lbs of boost should produce 349hp compared to the stock 215hp.

As far as placement goes, I just hope that the placement also works with my V8! This project started out a project to turbo my car, but has grown into a potential kit because Corky wants to produce kits for our cars.

I don't know if anyone picked up on it but in the picture above of the turbo system on the new 55 bi turbo, you can see that Mercedes still likes to make it hard for people to try to increase performance. Just look at how hard it would be to change turbo's! They are part of the exhaust manifolds.
