w203 performance increase ???

[Dazzler]

Have found a late c180 for my dad. He would like better performance similar to C200 figures.
Are these easy to mod as the engine is the same?

just buy a c200, nothing you can do to a n/a will up power enough unless it is supercharged then you can get a pulley and belt change and remap

Is the 180 the same engine as the 200? If so a simple remap may well bring the same performance

I was under the impression that the w203 180 200 and 230 were the same engine?
Wait to be corrected. ..lol
