430 MAX hp??
Hey guys, I'm going to build a turbo system for the CLK W208 430 (V8), and maby sell it... but i have a few questions for you people who knows best...
- How much can the engine handle? (in PSI or HP; i.e. 10psi/500hp)
- How much can the transmittion hold?
- ^ Rear differential?
Any info (extra as well) would be of enourmous help.
Anyway thanks very much and for you wondering how the system is going to go it's going to be a remote turbo system (similar to the ststurbo.com systems)...
Thanks again!
Edit; also I have read that a 320 can handle much more boost than a 430? Is that true? If so can a 320 beat a 430 then? (with how much hp would that be with?)

THe engine wont handle much boost and 430 trannys tear up under stock conditions all the time. I would think that any boost at all will be pushing it without redoing the transmission. The engine itself will be ok probably, check out kleemann's website for boost/hp numbers.
