CLK320 - Direct Port Nitrous and Intake / TB upgrades? MB gurus wanted
First off I have a lot of experience with nitrous and engine swaps...but not a lot of experience with MBs post 1991.
I have a '99 CLK320 with 94,000 miles. I recently started looking into a 75-150 direct port nitrous kit. I am considering buying a different upper intake to drill and tape. I also read somewhere on this forum that '00s and later had bigger throttle bodies / injectors / and a different ECU.
Can I take the later intake / throttle body / injectors and install it on my '99 for a performance upgrade without switching ECUs? If no...is it difficult to switch to the later ECU style? What does it entail? Do crossfires have the larger TB/intakes? How much nitrous is "Safe" on a 3.2L?
If it takes too much to explain by typing, pm me and I will call you. Thanks-Kent.

I would contact TVT DESIGN, as they have a great deal of experience with the 3.2l motors.
We at LET Motorsports are able to do the requisite tuning, should you be interested.

430 TB
I installed the 74mm throttle body from a '99 430 on my 320. The extra cfm really helps the 320. Great mod for $115 shipped off of the 'Bay.

238 hk ECU tuneup only
Only thing I done to mine besides a standard tuneup make sure all other is in order go get a ECU tuneup. = 238 Hk which os very note able at high speed. I RUN the dials out no problem but was told was in much better condition than usual. Is a 2001 model.
Else do what u need to do before the ECU tune-up will get u best results
