Just a few comments:
1) If the oem TB is running out of range (max mg/sec rating), or represents a significant restriction showing a pressure drop across it at WOT max hp, then a larger TB will likely just give you a "sprintbooster" effect in that you will have more flow at 1/4 throttle, vs the smaller oem TB.

2) The larger plastic intake manifold will keep the charge cooler vs oem aluminum manifold.
3) Due to the larger, smoother runners, it will likely help with max power on a C300, or C350, without the TB upgrade. But expect less low end performance, with larger runners and if there is a loss of tumble valves.

looks very similar to the LSx manifold found in camaro's and Vettes. we typically get em ported to improve a lil bit more. sometimes left over material from casting. usually benefits.
very nice none the less. i'm looking for a c350 or c230, i want a 6sp. i know the w203 c350 6spd are very rare. but have my hopes up.

Hey guys sorry I havent posted an update in forever. It kinda went down hill to dyno it since my clutch finally gave out. I slowly broke in the new clutch (500 miles took awhile since I dont drive much). I will be doing some things soon and I may hit the dyno again.

By the way to everyone this is the exact same motor that is in the w204. I may end up selling it with the car. We shall see.
