FI C350
The title^^ I want one...
Haha
I want a turbo/supercharger setup on my W204 C350 4Matic,
anybody think I can cram V-5 F under the hood??

Has anybody been dumb enough to attempt this yet?
If so I wanna know how that turned out... Badly... Hahaha!
I have only heard of two people swapping the N/A for FI and they have been incredibly costly mods...

I was talking to guy at a local meet who is going to attempt a super charger in a w204 amg. As far as I know he is the only one. At least locally. I'm very interested to see the results and costs

Sounds like an obscene amount of money time and effort to me. Sounds like well over 20gs just to do it and have a headache of problems everytime you drive it with no one knowing how to fix it. To rich for my blood. But then again if one person does it I'm sure others will follow. I'd just spend a little extra(car + mods) buy an areal atom and blow everyone away with out any issues. Lol

I just dont wanna have to kick any more STI owners in the head when they think their little rice racers are the best car in the world.
Just a little boost... A little bit...

I am going to do this... Just wondering if the dealer will be able to notice...
Also, I am thinking about putting the bigger throttle bodies from the SLK550 on to replace stock, this will be at 160K when my warrenty is up. That is VERY noticable! Hahaha

They will be doing mine in September in Vancouver. It is no supercharger or turbo though. A finely tuned turbo charged car will cave your chest in a 3rd gear pull like you just got kicked there. An STI will probably always eat your car... My friend has a Mazda3 Speed that kicks the crap out of many cars on the road... it's nuts. Quick manual shifting doesn't hurt either.

Ya it did. A bit but I'll take it. I have a 230 with a six speed and I noticed a huge difference. I was always nervous trying to over take someone because the car felt so laggy. Yes I know it's not a sports car but I still want some umph! Now it's got a solid lauch, will Cherp between 2nd and 3rd and can feel a big difference between 3500-4500 rpm. I'd like to do an x pipe still to give it a little bit more low end torque. I know not much but every little bit helps. Lol

GTR's are just wild!! I ripped around in a modded one last year and drove it like I stole it. Gained a whole lot of respect for that car. One killer ride!

Yep that would help. None of these cars have any ***** except for the C63 AMG. They are not meant for it. Where I live it doesn't even matter what you drive and cops do radar everywhere... I got nailed 2 months ago doing 82 in a 50 zone heading onto the freeway!!! That's where everyone is gaining speed to hit the 100Km's per hour and merge. Unreal.

But if I do that I will have to start posting in the other section of the forum and I like you guys!!! 
Hahahaha! But in all seriousness I am thinking about buying an AMG, not trading up but buying one... I like my daily driver now, that's kinda why I didnt buy an amg to begin with...
I agree with you though that's probably the best solution to my problem.
