Air intake C320 cdi

[Alfalfa91]

Hi guys,

I know I'll probably end up getting a bit of hate for speaking about this but tbh i don't really care what the haters have to say

Anyways I'm going go be getting a hybrid turbo for my c320 derv soon and was thinking about getting or making a air intake for it.

Has anyone heard of this happening as I've been searching the internet and haven't had much luck finding anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction of anyone or a company that would give me some advice on this?

Cheers

Hate? Or constructive advice that's usually ignored? The question usually is "Should I bugger about with my air intake on a standard engine that has no mods?"

You could try merlin motorsport.

Merlin Motorsport, Shop & Goodridge Workshop, Castle Combe Circuit

Cheers appreciated the advice and I get where you're coming from with the standard engine with no mods, I wont be touching anything until I have the turbo and then start planning from there.

Thanks

Hi, I'm interested in following this - I have a 2008 vito SportX - 3l V6 5speed auto- turbo in need of attention so looking to upgrade.
Mine is a GT2056VK, the later one is a GTB2056VK. Some models come out with a GTB2260VKLR (256hp model) and a GTB2060VKLR - these are bigger turbos anf are ball bearing - looking to do dpf delete and remap - being a van i need lots of low down torque and better economy - as Alfalfa91 said - not a lot of info out there - phoned some turbo companies but not much info obtained - what about turbo - hybrid mods as well?
Cheers
John

Hi John,
I have recently stumbled across this company:
Mercedes CLK 3.0 CDI (05-10) Turbocharger

 

[SaundersW203]

Although if your looking for low end torque your probably best off with a GTB2260vlkr....

 

[NickStone]

I've recently started a project on my clk320 cdi

For the turbo, I was advised to use www.turbodynamics.co.uk by a few friends that have dealt with them. £395 + VAT to GT2060V spec.

 

[SaundersW203]

Do not use the turbo dynamics GT2056V upgraded to a GT2060, I made the same mistake and ended up running into problems which I believe to be down to the turbo. Unfortunately at the time my data logging software wasn't the best so can't be 100% sure.

 

[SaundersW203]

Although if your not looking for top end power and do want to use a GT2060 from turbo dynamics I have one I would sell with 5721 miles on.

hi SaundersW203, which problems did you encountered with the 2060? how much do you want for your 2060v?

 

[SaundersW203]

Basically it ran out of puff at 290bhp. I was hoping for 300+
I don't really know what its worth, but cost me £500 to have built.
Thanks,
Adam

You still would not be able to be contacted until the 30 posts are acquired.
Try asking Admin to grant you access early.. There should be a "Contact us" button on the forum home page?

Good luck
