If you do either I'll be proud of you but I doubt it

Turbo is easier take it to a shop and do that. Then show us what you did and let us know.

About the turbo, unless the C300 is your project car (not your daily driver), you’re mechanically inclined enough to troubleshoot FI set ups and want to spend some R&D cash to build your engine and get it properly tuned so it’s not a ticking time bomb, it’s not worth the headache.

The AMG swap is ridiculous. Sell the C300, buy a C63 and badge it as a C300.

I just saved you a bunch of time, and more importantly, turning your perfectly fine C300 into a money sink.

Yeah true that would be the easier route to take , I figured it would be fun for the most part doing it my self get to know the engine better. If I were to trubo it and worst case if I blow the engine I was gonna get the c63 engine and hopefully just slap the trubo on that hoe

How would it sound if you pype the output of the turbo back into the exhaust near the end-?
