E400 vs E43

Apologies if this has been addressed, but from what I am able to find, the main difference ( aside from aesthetics ) is the E43 has a different tune, and a sportier suspension.

Reason why I ask is, I'm looking at picking up an E400 wagon, and would enjoy making it into an E43 AMG clone of sorts ( the tune, wheels, etc )

Performance wise I think the E43 got different turbos - I have been trying to research the same, my concern is just the limitations on the gearbox (torque) - I haven't been able to find any actual numbers as I am contemplating a 400 vs 450. If only the US would get the E43 wagons....

Yeah I've found the information on the turbos as well.

I believe the trans is still the same?

Racechip sells a chip E400 with very easy hookup for a few hundred dollars, will bump up hp significantly. You can also easily disconnected it. It does not modify ECU. Check it out.

Same turbos, different ECU tune. You can look this up via part numbers.
