Turbo Charger System for CLK63 cars

Found a $550. Turbo Charger System for our cars on EBAY Item#180499947477.
I wonder who's going to be first to give it a try?

you need a loan for the kit as that would be the cheap part.

20K plus to do it proper.....and you might as well go dual turbo

LOL, I just looked at the ad, actually includes more than I expected, but it is just a universal kit that will fit a lot of cars. Does not include manifold, which will cost big $$$, all of the tubing needs to be custom bent which is more $, and that intercooler is tiny, that would not keep even a small turbo on a 63 cool. You're still looking at thousands in extra parts and labor. I do wonder how they sell all that stuff for $550.

Maybe one good run will be worth it? I think I should stop drinking now

I have some experience with aftermarket "bolt on" turbo kits from my honda/nissan/toyota days. Even on a simple honda 4 banger with tons of space for a big manifold, intake plumbing, intercooler and relatively tuner friendly ECU you're looking at bare minimum $4k for an unreliable and finicky time bomb.
