W124, E320, Turboed

A fewweeks ago I posted a Thread, regarding the instalation of a turbo in my 1995 E320.

some people where very supportive, some others thougth It was a bad Idea, or simply not worth the Money.

Well since I still want it to try and see.

I ordered a Twin Turbo kit from Mosselman Turbo in Holland. The kit was delivered yesterday, (top quallity) and it will be installed stariong this week end.

I can NOT post pictures, but if some one tells me how to, I will post the pictures of the Kit and Installation process as well as Before and After dyno tests.

That is Awesome! I would love to see pics of what the kit includes... how much did you pay to your door? Is there a remapped ECU or chip?

Wise decision. this car is gonna rock.

depending on the mileage of your car and weather your head gasket has been replaced or not, i would keep an eye for any leaks to develop. Those inline 6 engines are notorious for head gasket leaks.

Yep, I was talking to my mechanic and I was thinking on doing a valve job to help on the overal performance (about 20 HP) and change the head gasket to avoid future problems.

I was quoted $6500. USD direct from Mosselman. Does that sound correct?

Yar, what I was told to expect. Oh man, if the dyno results are real I really want to get it for my car! Just to even make it a little more fun in the twisties. That with 500e suspension and a 5spd manual would be nuts!

Hey archeryblackdog,

I've noticed you've been having a little bit of trouble posting pics. It's actually very simple.

Just click the "Insert Image" Icon and copy and paste the web address of the picture. It looks like maybe you're trying to type out the code manually. the syntax should look just like this:

[IMG]insert pasted link here[/IMG].

It looks like you're putting too many "IMG"'s in there.

F'ck me that's a lot of money. Why not just go buy a E420 for that kind of money.
