Hi guys, i want to upgrade to turbo in my car to squeeze more power. I would like to know what model of turbo is the best replacement and what are the implications of doing so.

I'm assuming c250? Can't tell using the mobile version but if then there is none. May not be for a while, a few of us have put inquiries in with multiple vendors but it's not high in the list of priorities for them. Plus without the ability to properly tune it's almost useless to upgrade the turbo.

No one makes a flash for our cars yet as they haven't cracked the encryption of the Siemens ecu for a variety of reasons. You'll have to look into piggyback units. On average you're looking at +40tq and +25hp

My unit gave me +90NM torque and +40HP. That's the Carlsson unit with the intercooler. The brabus option is similar but much less torque and a touch more hp.
I suggest opening up your exhaust, sorting out the accelerator delay and going with a high end piggy back if you want anything noticeable.
After that it is all tiny things like wrapping the intake and exhaust etc. You will not get much out of those sorts of mods but everything counts.

Yep, pretty much. Although even some of the known ones are little more than advancing your timing or adding a little boost. For decent gains that are well integrated into the car and prevent engine wear, I would suggest something from brabus, carlsson or kleeman. They are the leaders in the field for a reason
