Is it possible to have a Turbo and Supercharger?
Ebay c230 turbo/supercharger ?
Well according to the guy it seems like put in a turbocharger and it's running with the supercharger? Or he just kept the kompressor logo and stuff. So i'm just wondering, is it possible to hook up a turbo without taking out the supercharger?

I'm pretty sure that the S/C has been removed and it is just now turbo-charged. He had a post on here or one of the other MB boards a while back. Do a search and see if you can find it. If I remember right he had a write up about the car.

yes, it is possible...with $$$, it can be done 
There is an article with this Saudi Prince I believe or someone important and his love for cars and modifying them. He modified his C32 to have both the supercharger and twin turbo'd...do a search for it and i'm sure it will turn up

If it is so then it's just a turbo... hrm lemme look it up, oh and ct230k i know u'r gonna mod ur car... so uh how about you answer my question by putting a turbo in with the SC, bet ya ICS can do it :v .

Its a Turbo Conversion. With good gas it puts down close to 300HP.
The kid's dad sold it out from under him because he was doing ****ty in school. Sold for 17K. What a steal!

this is the car of speedwerx
that guy made something to a M111 that maybe only one in the world did before, and it's probably the only one that did put that much power in a W203 non amg.
But some f*ckers from some websites like here and mbklasse overlooked all the things he brought to the Mercedes tuning scene and just started b*tching on his hood and now it's almost impossible to get info from him again.
It pisses me off totally.
I am really looking forward to have a setup like his.

That was (is) a labor of love, I hope the new owner finds this board. I was looking forward to seeing how the car progressed. I'm not sure what he'd have to do to get the M111 to swallow all that air, even with a stand alone ECU. The lesson I took away from all his effort and expense was that our Eaton blowers are eatin' at least 40hp, has anybody seen a published figure?
I think I'd trade the driveability issues associated with a larger turbo for the power on top. Why not just bag the supercharger and then turbo at 12 psi and leave the rest alone? Do I remember somebody (a Buell friend?) in SoCal mentioning a turbo C230 sort of cobbled with Eclipse parts that blew up? My old '86 SVO (r.i.p.) would hook up in 2nd then get sideways all over again when the boost kicked in, that was a fun car. The new Euro tuner magazine, which I bought because it was mentioned here, with WIDE203 on the cover has an editorial on super+turbo. The Questions: Were some of the turbodiesels 4cyl (5 is commom in US)? Might MB have tooled the head to accomodate parts bin exhaust manifolds?

300HP with pretty mild boost. Imagine what it would do with more boost? Its safe to say a lighter, manual trans car like that would have no problem reeling in big fish like the C32.
