Clk430 buld TURBO
 

Hi all. Before I start i just want to say that MB-world has been a great resource to me and I am very appreciative to all the members and their knowledge.

So, I recently got a new job at a custom shop called Three Pedals LLC. As an employee I get deals on parts and cheaper labor plus I can use the facilitys. On top of that one of my mechanic coworkers (Larry) holds the record for most powerful monoblock E55 (he built it).

With all this I have decided to build my 2001 clk430.

What I plain to do:
88mm turbo (Larry's)
Intercooler
Cams
Ported head
Front strut brace
Front lower brace
Mid lower brace
2 stage boost control
Amg calipers
drilled rotors
amg sway bars
amg rear diff
amg transmission
custom exaust
dump valve
Tune

anyone know where I can find evosport pullys?

My car is the "sport" edition so I'm not sure if the sway bars and diff are any different. If they are then I was going to switch to the amg parts. Also does anyone know if a 430 torque converter will fit on an amg trans?

I need to know:
Is the amg rear diff any better?
Are the amg swaybars any better?
Is the amg driveshaft better/worth it?
What will I need for the trans swap?
Has anyone done a non water cooled engine bay turbo?

Please let me know if you can answer any of these questions.

I will post pictures of the build.https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

sweet man I can't wait to see what this comes 2 it will be awesome keep up with the posting or if you can post on FB i would love to follow this build and about the ud pulley kit I had it on my CLK 430 it gave me about 12 more horsepower that's about it I was looking for one for about 2 years I came across one that some guy had in his garage that never been used it's not worth it and it's almost impossible to find the kits
