You could probably start here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-diy-faqs.html

It is stickied at the top of the page.

You probably wont get alot of help here unless you try to search first. Or even just read through the threads and stickies. There is one about removing the silencer for the super charger, I'm thinking about doing that since it seems pretty cheap and effective.

Search for exhaust, pulley and tune as well and thats just for the engine.
