Switch to S=Sport mode always on high revolution to avoid lag.

There are a couple of ways to reduce the way it feels, but you have to remeber for this car it's about being in the right gear. Sport mode helps with this as it downshifts quicker when you hit the accelerator. You have to get on the gas slightly sooner in a C250 and force the transmission to downshift. Economy mode is keeping the transmission in low rpms.

Check out a dyno sheet on the C250 too. It starts building boost at 2,000rpm and fully boosted by about 2800. Since the turbo is small, it comes on fast, but starts to fall off around 4,800rpm. This car virtually has no turbo lag if you know what you are feeling for.

The next best thing would be a JB+ Tune and BMS intake sold by www.burgertuning.com.
Check out this thread for info on that: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ns-anyone.html

Also I forgot to mention, there is a company out in Torrance, CA that makes downpipes now. Usually make the biggest difference as far as spool and power with turbo cars: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...o-numbers.html

Its a turbo car if you dont like it now you never will. 4Cly turbo cars just suck when you have to make a quick move on the parkway. I'll never own another one.
