Wouldn't it have been better to go custom with a single turbo? hardest part would be making the exhaust manifold, I don't think a fuel regulator will be enough, you WILL need an ECU, there are many not so expensive ones thesedays that give good results, I don't know about the injectors capacity, but they will certainaly need to be changed after a certain limit.
good luck.

I'm from Holland and have been looking at a Mosselman twin-turbo kit as well. My 300TE would go from 188 to 292hp! I just dunno if this is a wise thing to do to a 15y/o vehicle with high mileage...

OK benz is back from the speed shop where they did the Turbo Install, The car was given to me this morning and what can I tell you it Feels great.

It feels like a completley diffrent car!!!!

Now there are a few things that will need to adjustment:

Muffler Noise.
Power Surges, (I think that is due to limitted injectors)

Other than that so far so good, I think a head and valve job is in order now

I apologize for thaking so long, but I was waiting to do the dyno tests, which I have not done yet because I been way to busy, even when there is shop with a dyno less than a mile away from work.

Well since you are rigth, and is starting to look like I am full of BS, I have just run down stairs and taken a few pictures of the set up, (Weather in Houston is terrible this morning so the quality and quantity will be poor)

I have forwarded the pictures to chris and he may be kind an off to post them.

Again I apologize for the tardiness and I will try to do the dyno runs this week and post them for your review.

I did a road trip this week end to Fredericksburg, and I was able to do do 135mph very fast in several ocasions but the car remains speed limited so it cuts at 135 mph.

Best Regards.

yeah, I know, I know, never the less in a close to mint pavment hwy that is nearly empty, with clear weather, and brand new tires rated for 180 mph, Doing 135 mph for 10 seconds or less, seems reasonable.

(But yes I share your opinion is Iresponsable and childish, What am I going to do I am a lost case).

So, now that it's finished, how would you rate the turbo, in terms of fun:cost ratio?
