The rest is already in the ECU. Of course this is provided you get the right ECU to start out with. If the Merc came with the IR key, then you will get stuck where I am right now. Since the SRT uses our key then even an Immo swap to an SRT ECU will work.
Yet again, I have heard 10+ people say exactly what you are saying here and in some MB forums, but no one here has done it. Web was close, but not with a turbo, and at what cost?
I am not trying to be a Debbie-Downer, just making sure there is some reality injected every once in a while LOL
I really hope you get the V8 running and then throw FI on it. Hopefully within the next few years, I will attempt a V8 swap if I don't already own a C63

Very true, and well said. The same reason my second XF was a limited...
