Based on a current shape C class... I'm assuming that with the 180 and 200's both being 1.8 supercharged engines that they both use the same engine but the 200 using a lower compression ratio to allow higher boost pressures from the supercharger without detonation...
What my question is, is it possible to retain the C180's standard C/R and up the boost a couple of psi to increase low end torque without causing any damage? surely there must be enough leeway for a small tweak in boost pressures because compared to standard N/A 1.8 engines found in your average cars on the market, they will put out similar powers without the supercharger so im assuming theoretically it is possible to still increase the boost pressures with the same 10:1 compression ratio without worrying about detonation. Am i right in thinking this and can it be done simply without the need for a remap etc?
