PM me once you get here. We'll meet up with the boys. Just watch out for Patrick Lowkey, that foo likes to grab guys asses a lot.
For some reason every time at a meet he slaps my *** and says "good hustle" but I don't get it? It's not like I was playing basketball..I was just standing there

Honestly, a 2007 C230 isn't worth trying to do engine mods on. You'd be pissing away a ton of money to get to +5 hp.
Your money would be better spent on bodywork like you want to do and working on the suspension and brakes.

If you are looking into making your car faster don't waste your time on Headers or ECU tune. I say you get down to business and boost it. A lot of members have knocked me on this but I am actually in the process of design.
Where to mount turbo? Where does turbo suck air from? Where to run the turbo up pipe? Need intercooler? Should I use the AEM F/IC-6 for piggyback or something else? What turbo should I get..I don't want to have the car boost on low RPM when I am cruising.
Soo many questions that need to be answered. But soon

Then again with these engines I would prob be easier to just swap for 350 internals.

Nice meeting you Nobli. The w203 isn't modder friendly. Exhaust , intake won't do anything. The kleemann headers are pretty expensive for what the gains are gonna be. Forget about engine swap (why ruin a fresh car), the kleemann supercharger is too expensive for the hp your car is going to gain. Once you upgrade that then you have to upgrade the suspension then brakes. These cars are not American cars where couple of boltons and your car wakes up. Couple of boltons and the car is still whatever. I don't know how you feel about BMW but you can trade in your car for a 335 or 135 and couple of mods here and there and you will run high 12 to low 13 all day everyday 
I agree, but didn't bignaldo get them? I think they were from the 204 but same thing. I'm sure you knew this but you have the exact same engine as the C300 and the 300 is same as 350

Do you have a link to these long headers? I've only seen shorties. I'm talking about some form of equal length 16+ inch long headers.

Although this is for a different engine this still can be done to ours.
