There are a few kits from 'back in the day', IIRC Mosselman made one?

But to be honest, if you feel it's worth going to this level of tuning on a car like this today, you'll be far better off building your own kit and starting from scratch. It's difficult and problematic to try and retain the existing K-Jet system with a forced induction engine - especially if you want to make the most of it.

There's a very knowledgable guy based in Europe who has built several turbocharged 2.3-16s, I think they have forged pistons as standard and respond well to this sort of tuning work. Known as Jesper or 'Racing' on some of the 190 forums - I suggest a visit to Mercedes-190.co.uk and perhaps have a read of some of his postings on there :thumb:

hi

I am going to use the car as a drift car and im thinking of putting a turbo just to get more power but i am not going to mad and start spending like a mad man. if i can find someone out there with one for sale then fine but otherwise i will wait or put a 320 engine into it.!!

Thanks acid

Well if that's the case then I guess you might as well start with something like a 190E 2.6 if you're modding it for a drift car. The six-cylinder cars have a few key differences to the four cylinder chassis - and I imagine you'll be modifying quite a bit else anyway if you're considering sticking a 3.2 M104 in it?
