Hi new to the forum. I just pick up a 2002 c230 coupe with a couple of minor issues that are being work on 
. I want to make this my DD and let my SRT4 rest in the garage.
Here goes a pic after re doing all the SC pluming and new IC. Now I'm waiting on the new TB so the car could hit the road.
Next buy is 18x8.5 f +33 18x9.5 b +35 MB split rims, lower on H&R and projector headlights.. can't wait
Here is a pic of my Stance SRT4

From what I could tell.. it got a minor hit on the front and the cold side pipe had a really big crack and the TB plug was toasted. I will see next week when I put her all together. Hopefully that will clear all the fault code and start seen some boost .

Welcome to the coupe forum (sedan owners think it's their forum too, but it really isn't). 5 lbs is a bit low on boost - make sure everything's working well. When stock, I had about 7.5 or so.
I'm assuming you're in Puerto Rico?
If you're really looking for performance improvements, a new supercharger pulley and tune are the best bets.
When you're looking at wheels, don't forget to check weights - some of the options can get really piggy.

I'm reading out of Torque droid app going to the ODBII. I need to connect to one of the vacuum line to get a tru reading but the firewall look pretty tight to get a vacuum line. I going to do a boost leak see what I find but boost is holding up good and is pretty quick (loud SC whine)
Yes I'm from PR but at California (Army
)Im going with monoblock VI 18s 8.5 and 9.5
